Those that love him will continue to lap up his charm. The rest will understand that the Democrats did indeed inherit a huge mess and give his policies time to work - or fail - before they judge. It's a bit much to expect the the worst economic down turn since the 1930s to be completely fixed in less than two years ... isn't it? America is heading in the right direction slowly but surely. "Tell that to the people who have no jobs" some will argue. Tell the people who have no jobs that a complete global financial collapse was narrowly avoided and that it really should have been much worse. Consider ourselves all lucky the bailouts and handouts and loans and additional government debt thwarted a total worldwide economic meltdown ... for now.

At some point, it made sense to unite under one Flag and call it the USA. So, what's the hold up with the United States of Earth? Well, we're obviously not quite ready yet, but if you ask me it's positively inevitable.

I'll leave the typo up so others can learn from my mistake and your counsel.

Yeah you bet ... providing hosting support is the last thing I want to do. I'm not good at it, dislike doing it and there a people out there that have hosting as their core business who are more than happy to handle it. What I recommend you do is team up with a smaller hosting company. Give them a quick call and it's usually a small business and you'll get to speak to the top guy. Tell him what you are up to and ask if she wants to be your hosting partner. Make sure they understand you want no part of providing hosting support and that this responsibility would be theirs. Make sure you do some due diligence to see if the company has any complaints or a track record of disgruntled customers etc. You want to select a host that has a positive or at worst, a neutral reputation. Hope this helps.

If you can use custom themes at Wordpress.com then I don't see why not.

You get charged $X for their time and bill out at $Y. You would behave in the capacity of creative and technical director to ensure the quality of work is up to your (and your client's) expectations and be the liaison between your team and client. That's one way to do it.

You need to read it if you want to know the formula I use. I can tell you as newer pursuit I have been experimenting with passive income models for web designers and developers which you can read about in a recent post I made.

Me, I'm happy to work less, still make a good living and have TIME to pursue other priorities (family, friends, other ventures). Really depends on what your priorities are. For me, free time to spend as I wish is much more valuable then working longer hours for more money.

Thanks for your frank, firm and polite comment. Of course you are correct on a few points. My Elite Folios can take advantage of the limitations on people's attention spans and lack of attention to detail. With that said, there is nothing untoward about the technique and being upfront by labeling your pieces as "brand study for X" and "All trademarks are copyright of their respective owners" is the way to keep everything above board. Regarding my tax return hehee, I really don't know what to tell you. If I wanted to deceive anyone I would have used sexier numbers. You raise a good point though and that is that in this age of Photoshop, nothing should be taken for granted. All I can say is you (and everyone else) need to use your best judgment and weigh everything up. I can tell you frankly that I had some hesitancy (for privacy reasons) about posting my tax return at all but with the right blurring felt it was a good compromise between showing the income numbers and still preserving sensitive data. Thanks!
