Work at Home Journal July 13th, 2007

Ok, so I have been pretty lazy about updating my work at home journal. It seems I have had time to get some work done, but not actually keep track of what I've done. I guess that happens when you have kids and house chores to take care of too.

I've written 3 articles for Associated Content. Here's one here
Organic Foods for Your Baby?

I finally figured out my problem with NVU (umm...user error...) and downloaded some website templates from OSWD. I'm using one of the templates to set up my first niche website. I've written a few pages of content.

This first niche website is really more of an experiment. First, to see if I can figure out how to build a website with NVU, and get it uploaded to Hostgator to host. I love computers and the net, but have seriously not kept up with the knowledge it takes to build a website.

I would love to work at home and bring in thousands of $$$ a month (hmm...wouldn't we all?). But I need to be realistic too. My children aren't in daycare, and my husband works full time. I want to be a stay at home mom for a reason. So my work time is limited to naptime, and early morning or late night hours. And let's face it, I don't see myself waking up super early in the morning just to work. I'm not sure there is enough coffee in the world for that.

Because of the limited amount of hours I'm able to work, my goal is to make a few hundred a month. Projects will only take a bit longer to get finished.

Oh-and I need your help please!!!!

My blog needs a facelift. Desperately. It's bland, and looks like so many other blogger blogs.

Can someone point me in the direction to a site where I can download (preferably free, I'm working on a budget here) blogger templates?

I would like one that has 3 columns. 2 little ones on the left and a large main one on the right. Or the main one in the middle and a small column on each side?

And I'd like some graphics for my header.

Any ideas?
