The u30pro chat that I moderate with Lauren Fernandez have amazing discussions every week as far as I’ve gathered from the community.

Blog Comments (The blog is on WordPress) Disqus This is what I use to manage comments here at Convince & Convert. There are some elements of Disqus I don’t like, especially that it doesn’t always play nice with other plug-ins, but it does make commenting easier and faster for most of you who already have a Disqus account.

Send them your book. ’d like to win the dome tent…but if I won a 500$ gift card, I’d buy books and games for a low income preschool program. For the daughter I bought paint brushes, a sketch journal and a bunch of crafting supplies that were on her wish list. Or your beanbag chair. Keep up the good work!
