Butterfly Healing Meditation Digital Download
Led by Master Chunyi Lin, and designed for your personal healing and optimal wellness.
"This is a meditation of metamorphosis and transformation. That is why I call it the Butterfly Guided Healing Meditation. Think of the life cycle of a butterfly. From a caterpillar into a chrysalis and from that hard, leather-like pouch it transforms into such a beautiful and gentle creature it brings joy and happiness wherever it flies.
Everything in the universe is a form of energy. Every cell in your body is a form of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but energy can be transformed.
The butterfly is such a perfect and beautiful example of energy transformation. So it can be with the energy blockages in your body - any pain or sickness, injury or illness, any worries or fears."
-- Chunyi Lin
We have 12 major channels in our physical body, which connect to our internal organs. In these 12 channels, six start or end in the hands, and the other six start or end in the feet. These energy channels work together as a team. In addition to these 12 major channels, the body has two more very important channels; the front and back energy channels, which govern all these 12 channels.
If there is a blockage in any energy channel, this blockage can grow bigger and eventually make the body sick. It can also cause energy blockages in another part of the body, too. But certain movements of your physical body can help remove these blockages. The physical body has intelligence for healing itself because it was designed that way. The Five Element Healing Movements can activate this intelligence. We already have it, our body already know how to heal itself.
Why Do We Get Sick? Is Self-Healing Possible?
Qigong is a study of energy. Since everything in the universe is a form of energy, Qigong is a study of the whole universe. Qigong has been practiced in China for thousands of years and there are thousands of different styles of Qigong that are taught and practiced for a variety of purposes. Spring Forest Qigong focuses on the use of qigong for self-healing and healing others.
"Qi" (pronounced chee) means energy, air or breath, vitality, or the universal force of life. "Gong" means to work, use, practice, transform, cultivate or refine. Put simply, Qigong means using this vital life energy to create a healthy mind and body. Through Qigong we can heal not only physically, but also emotionally, mentally and spiritually as well.
Why Qigong?
Using Emotions to Heal
There are many ways our bodies' energy channels could get out of balance, including unhealthy foods, poor environmental conditions one lives in, or accidents, etc. But one of the main reasons our bodies' energy channels get out of balance is due to unbalanced emotions.
The ancient wisdom of the Five Elements theory teaches us that anger causes damage to the liver energy system; hatred damages the heart energy system; anxiety damages the spleen/stomach energy system; sadness damages the lung energy system, and fear damages the kidney energy system.
The Five Elements theory also helps us understand how to open these blockages and return the body to balance and harmony. Positive emotions can help to heal the body.
It teaches us that happiness can heal the liver energy system; joy can heal the heart energy system; peace can heal the spleen/stomach energy system; contentment can heal the lung energy system, and thankfulness can heal the kidney energy system.
Spring Forest Qigong Five Element Healing Movements incorporates the philosophy of
the five elements and the five positive emotions to create energy balance in our organs and
energy channels very quickly.
Five-Element Qigong Healing Movements make the healing power of Qigong simple, powerful and accessible
to all of us. You will learn how to master the following movements:
What are the Five Element Healing Movement?
In order to keep the body healthy and functioning at its best, we need to keep the physical body and the heart energy in balance. Through thousands of years of observations, our ancestors discovered a powerful way to understand the connection between our physical body and the heart energy. This is called the Five Elements theory.
The Five Elements theory is a cornerstone of Chinese medicine. Understanding these elements helps us to understand the formation of the energy in the body and in the universe. There are emotions and organ systems that are associated with each of the elements. When you focus on the positive emotion for a specific element you can literally transform the energy in that associated system as you will see and practice in the Five Element Healing Movements. Each emotion has its special signature and special frequency, and each frequency matches a certain part of the system, powerfully impacting the organs in your body. This creates a beautiful complete healing.

In part I, we discussed WHY it is important to train your two biggest muscle groups: Back and Legs. In part II, we'll discuss WHAT you should be doing and how to do it. Before we get to the nitty gritty, let's recap on part I, shall we?
- Injury Reduction
- If these two muscle groups are the biggest then why not protect them?
- Improved Performance
- Your legs and back are like your wheels and anchor. When they work well you DO well.
- Healthier Body Perception
- Who doesn't want a backside, pair of legs, and a nice back to show off?
- Healthier Body Fat Percentage
- Bigger muscle groups that work hard need bigger calories to make big things happen, thus more energy used, which equals more calories burned.
- Confidence Booster
- Who doesn't want to FEEL better, LOOK better, and PERFORM better?!
Alright, let's get down to brass tax. We know the benefits, so what should we be doing to achieve these wonderfully stimulating results? Well, I have 5 exercises that will not only give you these results, but they'll also give you more bang for your buck. In other words, we won't be spending two hours in the gym everyday slaving over hundreds of different exercises. Instead, we'll do what strong and intelligent people do; we'll get the most for our time. Let's get to work – here are the top 5 leg and back exercises to accomplish awesomeness.
- Squat
Ah, the Squat. The most important exercise in your exercise repertoire. Why you ask? The Squat not only works all of your major muscle groups of the lower body, but it also forces your upper body to work hard as well. The Squat focuses on the Quadriceps, Hamstrings, and Glutes as well as the Calves, Lower, Middle, and Upper Back, Abdominals, and the Obliques. That's a lot of muscles working at the same time and lots of muscles working at the same time equates to good things for your knees and hips as well.
- Deadlift
Don't let the name scare you. This exercise works similar muscles as the Squat, but it also hits the arm muscles as well. Honestly, Squats and Deadlifts are interchangeable and can both be seen as number one but semantics are for the OCD, so we'll keep Deadlifts at number two to make this list complete. Aside from the muscles built during this exercise, you will learn how to pick up heavy objects properly and bulletproof your lower back to withstand what any injury throws at you.
- Single-Leg Exercises (Lunges, Step-ups, Split-Squats)
Number three is more of a category than a number, but any of the above three will suffice. These exercises build up each leg muscle group individually to correct strength imbalances, which generally lead to injuries, which results in wearing a groove in your couch cushions while accomplishing a whole lot of nothing. The glute, hamstring, and quadriceps muscles work hard to not only build up strength, but also work on balance as well.
- Rows/Chin-ups/Pull-ups/Pulldowns
As with number three, number four is more of a category than a number and focuses on the middle and upper back muscles, which stabilize and strengthen the shoulder joints. In other words, building this part of your back is similar to building up the lower back muscles as they anchor your body and allow for not just improved strength, but also better posture. Rows can be done with barbells, dumbbells, body weight, or with cables. Chin-ups and pull-ups should be done with different grips and hand widths (overhand, underhand, neutral grip, wide grip, narrow grip, and shoulder-width grip). Pull downs can also be done the same as chin-ups and pull-ups by using different attachments. Pull-ups/Chin-ups can be used with or without weight.
- Back Extensions and Back Raises
Back extensions are done while the body is in a prone or horizontal position. Back raises are done at a 45-degree position. Both are effective at hitting the lower back, hamstrings, and glutes and both can be done with or without weight.
So now that we know what to do, what's next? I'm glad you asked! Squats and deadlifts can be used to overload your leg and back muscles with heavier weights and lower reps, AND can be used to build muscle with moderate weights and moderate reps. Heavier weight combined with lower reps builds up the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons in conjunction with the muscles. Moderate weight combined with more reps means the muscles are under tension for longer periods of time, which causes muscle growth to occur.
Rows and pull downs should be done for muscle building; single-leg exercises as well. Back extensions and back raises can be done with higher reps and pull-ups/chin-ups are generally pretty difficult and should be done for as many reps as possible until you can perform multiple sets of 10 reps. Below is an example of the sets and reps in a nutshell:
Squats and Deadlifts:
For Strength (heavier weight): 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps
For Muscle (moderate weight): 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps
Single-Leg Exercises: 3-5 sets of 6 reps per leg
Rows/Pulldowns: 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps
Back Extensions/Back Raises: 3-5 sets of 10-20 reps (weighted or un-weighted)
Pull-ups/Chin-ups: 3-5 sets of as many reps as you can

We have finished working on OK Computer.
After two years of recording, promoting and touring the album, it seems unsettling
to be released from its grip.
The response that the album has received has been flattering, even if it has felt over-inflated at points. However, the most important thing for me has been the way that the five of us have worked together on OK Computer - I'm proud of that, we are becoming the kind of band I hoped for when we started.
Thank you to everyone who listened to our music and come to see us play. Your interest is greatly appreciated.
Anyway, we're taking the summer off the seek spiritual instruction in India, attend the problems arising from multiple international residences, have a brief stint in re-hab, and then write the book about how we got through it all.
I don't think we've lost it.
Love Philip xxxx
Home again, home again, jiggady-jig. Bored already. I'm doing some music myself
which is about as fifth as good as Radiohead, so I'll leave it as far from all
your ears as possible. It sounds like a lot of bleepy keyboards falling down
the stairs, followed by a drum-kit or two.
Why? My record collection is increasingly infested with electronic music of the kind that was taken very seriously in the 70's. Dishevelled Professors in thick-rimmed specs and corduroy jackets using Moogs as "serious compositional media" for their music. But then, it dated instantly, I suppose, ("an infinite array of sounds"!), and the suspicious length of a typical track (15:00 or 5:00 exactly) suggest it's all a bit soulless.
And yet... one record especially interests me - "The Wild Bull" by Morton Subotnik. It holds my attention, where the others are just too rigid. It might just be his name, though...
Otherwise, it's waiting to play some more music with the others, and waiting for Suzanne Charlton to predict windier weather.
Dear Friends,
It's almost exactly a year since we started playing the new songs from O.K.Computer. In some ways it was a bit arse about tit because we played our biggest shows first, notably Dublin RDS and Glastonbury a week later. I fear some aspects of the ensuing year appeared a tad anticlimactic because of kicking off with these bowel-shatteringly fearful shows. However there was a lot of pleasure and wonder to be had; indeed, on more than one night I almost managed to tear myself away from the contemplation of Phil's shapely calves and FACED THE FRONT. Almost.
Playing the Tibet Freedom Festival in June in New York was good, I got to see U2 play for the first time. Proper rock stars. They were fantastic. We've had the privilege of playing with some fine bands this year: The 'fannies', Sparkley horse, Laika, D.J. Shadow and Spiritualized. I hope you get to catch at least some of them, they were all wonderful and lovely people to boot.
Time off. We're taking the summer off to relearn how to stay in one place for more than a week and to cook and rekindle old friendships. It's our first long break since 1992, our first uninterrupted summer at home, and Blighty is lovely at this time of the year. In fact I have already planted some sweet peas in the garden, and look forward to seeing them blossom by September, hose-pipe band permitting.
My favourite book of the year was Bernhard Schrink's "the reader", a translation from the German; like Guibert's "To the Friend Who did Not Save My Life", it had a devastating ending. Music: I have bought a Nad 533 turntable, and am now trying to follow in the giant footsteps of Jonny "Vinyl" Greenwood. When we're on tour, we can now both be spotted scouring the dusty record racks of local second-hand music shops. I also like "Seductive Barry" from the new Pulp album - that Chris Thomas, he's a bit good, isn't he?
The one sour note for me this year has been the ticket scalpers outside the gigs, selling tickets to our fans for vastly inflated prices. We are looking into ways of preventing this for the future, and will keep you informed about developments.
Thanks again for your kind support. I'm off to brush up my French, so I'l leave
you with
"Heureux Vacances",
? ......
i am glad we have finished touring
(this is my third attempt at writing this)
i live in a new house by the sea, it is windswept and peaceful, i am left alone here.
(so) i am very lucky.
i am glad the ground has stopped shaking.
people got overexcited. we found it too difficult to take seriously all the ink that got wasted on OK Computer, all the intelligent journalists scratching chins intelligently. we were ready to move on to the next one the day we finished! yet a year later we were still going.
we all need a holiday.
i will reply to some of your letters soon. i couldn't think of anything to say, that's no excuse i know. sorry.
everything after glastonbury was a weird aftermath which seemed to go on and on forever. that's not to say we didn't do some really good shows and didn't enjoy it. but ...
some nights on tour i didn't have whatever was needed in me. we may not have fulfilled all your expectations. i am sorry for that.
that is a shame. there's this Charlie Mingus track 'the clown' where the character beats himself up and falls over and discovers he gets huge cheers the more he beats himself up, until one day...
i am trying to shake the feeling of being robbed.
i must take a break (this is what everybody tells me!)
i hope i can see more clearly soon
i just bought some record decks and a mixer
i am reading this book by john pilger called 'hidden agendas'.
i want us to start all over again from scratch.
there have been a lot of concerned letters sent. you obviously know us better than we thought. it's cool to know people care, but there is nothing to worry about.
we are not about to give up or go off the rails.
after all it's just pop music, and this is only our third album. soon as the dust settles we can all move on.

p. s we enclose some postcards that you might be interested in filling out and sending to the president of the united states. it is from milarepa, the organisation running the tibetan freedom concert in washington d.c. on june 13th and 14th, also there is a march on the 15th, if you can make it to the show or the march, it would be great. it could really change something for good. we will be playing so we'll see you there.
dear w.a.s.t.e.r
"they think it's all over".... well it's not quite. We are playing at the free tibet show in washington d.c on june 13. but that is the only thing we are doing band-wise in four months. already two weeks into that four months, i am finding it quite bizarre as we haven't really stopped for six and a half years. my body is telling me that i should either be preparing to go on tour again or going into the rehearsal studio, whereas it should be telling me to prepare for a summer at home and of course the summer's most important event, the world cup. I'm quite certain, however, that i will quickly turn into football pundit man. why is it that when you get a bunch of blokes watching football they always seem to feel the necessity to turn into football managers for the evening? you see them in all pubs and bars saying things like:
"what the hell is hoddle doing? he shouldn't start with sheringham, it's got to be owen every time up front alongside shearer". "no mate you got it wrong. you start with the experience of sheringham then you introduce owen later when the opposition's legs are tired"
blokes are funny things in packs. i've already found myself telling anyone in the near vicinity who will listen as to why utd. did not win the league. i am trying very hard to be philosophical and objective but it's hard. "it's good for football" is my most used phrase o late.
before i end i would just really like to thank all those who came and saw us in the last year, and willed us on even when we weren't playing that well..... and thank you to all those and particularly tique for the birthday messages. twenty-one again! have a good summer/winter.

To: The Honorable Greg Abbott, Governor
Re: Urgent veto of HB 3808 is needed
Dear Governor Abbott:
I write as the Austin attorney and psychologist who brought the Serafine v. Branaman case, which struck down as unconstitutional the Texas definition of the "practice of psychology" because it infringed the freedom of speech.
Before you is House Bill 3808. It should be vetoed, urgently, by June 9th.
HB 3808 is a Trojan Horse. Ostensibly about educational loan assistance, it carries a bad amendment. The amendment redefines the "practice of psychology" so that it is worse than the old one and equally unconstitutional.
Continue reading "Serafine urges Governor Abbott to veto HB 3808"
Texans deserve health freedom, especially in mental health. Some people prefer unlicensed practitioners outside the conventional system. They want life coaches, hypnotherapists, spiritual healers, business coaches, athletes, masters-degreed psychologists (currently prohibited unless "supervised"), curanderas, positive thinking coaches, internet programs, and countless others who are forced to operate under the radar or in fear of agency action based on definitions such as the one inside House Bill 3808.
HB 3808 otherwise accomplishes only a longer list of people who receive educational loan assistance and don't need it—this time adding marriage and family therapists.
I urge you to veto HB 3808.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Lou Serafine

MYTH: Predators are bad for wildlife.
The scientific community agrees that this claim is quite wrong, yet it's a surprisingly pervasive belief in rural Western culture. Misconceptions like this can unfortunately cause real harm, as they drive political discourse and policy.
FACT: Wolves make prey populations healthier.
The preponderance of scientific evidence supports the view that wolves generally kill prey that are vulnerable, such as weak, sick, old, or young animals. By killing sick prey individuals, wolves remove infectious agents from the environment, reducing transmission to other prey. The scientific community argues that in this manner, wolves help reduce the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a degenerative neurological illness that is similar to mad cow disease, among elk, deer and moose.
Beyond wolves, perhaps no issue is as controversial in the hunting community right now as CWD. Yet former Montana Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Gary Wolfe still went on the record last Friday stating that wolves "are the best natural defense" for the spread of CWD.
No doubt wolves serving as an unexpected ally in protecting the West's most popular big game animals could be a hard reality to swallow for some hunters and hunting groups who have long opposed the predators. But this acknowledgement is a start.
So the question remains, why are some states spending millions in tax dollars to eliminate predators that help keep wildlife diseases in check?

Saints, sinners and everyday heroes: fathers form an integral foundation upon which families either flourish or falter. Whether it's the father of a little family of three or the father of a nation, fathers are undoubtedly fundamental in their role as provider, guide and protector.
Two phenomenal fathers who inspired their children to greatness and unshakeable loyalty are the inimitable Cousteau and Jim Henson. Cousteau, his wife Simone and two sons explored the world's oceans with snorkels and curiosity, broadcasting their findings all over the world in more the eighty documentary films! Cousteau's almost obsessive reverence for the ocean and its creatures was seeded in his son, Jean-Michel's heart, who continues his father's profound legacy of aquatic environmentalism and ocean conservation.
At Twyne, we believe ideas need to be both mothered through intuitive, creative nurturing — then guided forward with sound strategy and solid, protective foundations. This balanced approach to crafting ideas into lasting, profitable ROIs was what made Jim Henson the creative hero he is lauded as today.
The giant-hearted and deeply creative 'father' of the Muppets had such an enduring impact on his children, his creative team, the children of the world and the world of puppetry, that each of his five children remain actively engaged as puppeteers and co-own The Jim Henson Company together! Children and grown-up children all over the world are still crazy about this longest-running children's educational TV show of all time — which can only but be attributed to his playful, heartfelt, trailblazing creativity.
'He was one of those rare parents who was always ready to play again!' (Henson's son, Brian)
Wise ol' Yoda (or was it Frank Oz?) had this to say about Jim Henson: 'Yes, he was a wonderful, warm, sweet man — but he was also the strongest man I ever met in character. He was very tough. He worked like a [expletive deleted]. He could get cranky and he got snarky at times … He was a complex guy, but there was that always noble spirit.'
Dads, defined: 'Nothing is so strong as real gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.'
(St. Francis de Sales)
Let's make memories for our fathers this Fathers Day – and every day. And, dads — most especially — we thank you for your awesome DADness, dedication and love! Happy Fathers Day!

Megha always had an inclination towards handwork, art and crafts. Her journey with Mandala Weaving started when her four years old son told his teacher that my parents don't do any work. She soon realized that children that young don't perceive the work we do in notebooks and computers as real work. Children between the age of 0-7 learn through imitation, and when they see adults around them engaged in real work it impacts their will to work. She started weaving mandalas, making dolls & toys, painting… actually making things with her hands during her time at home.
She then found that weaving Mandalas had positive affect on her well being. This inspired her to learn from the master weaver 'Julia Kazarina' in 2015 and to share the empowering effects with others through Mandala weaving workshops.

Happy Sunday!
We're approaching a new week and whether that means a new week in NICU, back to work, or simply a new week figuring out this thing called "motherhood" I'd wager to say we all have one thing in common—we could all use some "me" time.
You Are Super Woman
Being a mom is a blessing and invigorating—but it can be depleting some days. When your preemies are little, you can feel like a walking burp rag spotted with spit up. Once they are a bit older, you feel more brave to venture out but you trade your cute purse for a loaded diaper bag full of every essential they might need. Later, you become a personal assistant signing permission slips and hauling kids to practices.
As moms, we are great at the details. However, we can sometimes neglect our physical and mental health.
Get Some "Me" Time
I want to give you the chance for a little "me" time. For local, Tulsa-area moms, a fitness and pampering afternoon. For non-locals, a $20 Starbucks gift card. All Campers are welcome to enter no matter the current age of your preemie!
Tulsa Moms
For local, Tulsa-area moms, I'm giving away a spot to join me at Studio POP, a spin and yoga studio in downtown Tulsa, for a private event called "Girlfriends Cycle and Yoga Class" at 2 p.m. on Sept. 24.
Join me for a 30 minute spin class followed by a 30 minute yoga class. This is the perfect combo to let loose then cool down!
You might be thinking—that does NOT sound relaxing. Ha! How about this for incentive:
- FREE class – get out of the house and get your booty moving!
- High-energy spin class with super fun music—like a dance party on a bike!
- Relax with a 30 min yoga class
- Mini massage from Sole Massage
- Swag bag with samples and gifts
- Drinks and bites from Ediblend Superfood Café
- And more surprises like drawings for gift cards added daily
To enter to win—simply leave a comment "SPIN ME!"—here on the blog, on Instagram or on Facebook. Your comment will put you in the drawing to attend the event as my guest. The winners will be chosen at 6 p.m. CT on Sept. 20.
By entering you attest you are cleared by your doctor to exercise.
Non-Local Moms
If you are not local to Tulsa, I want to treat you to a $20 Starbucks gift card.
Whether you use it to spend some time in a café or hide with your favorite drink in the driveway—I hope you'll use it for some "me" time.
NON-TULSA Campers—comment with "COFFEE ME!" here on the blog, on Facebook or on Instagram. Your comment will put you in the drawing for a $20 Starbucks gift card. The winner will also be chosen at 6 p.m. CT on Sept. 20.
Good luck!

Feuding with My Project Partner
Dear Amy,
I am working with someone as a partner on a long-term important school project. Sadly, my partner and I do not have a very good relationship right now. I am worried my grades will suffer if we can't work together. What should I do? …….Feuding Partner
Dear Feuding Partner,
If you are worried about your grades in this situation, the best thing to do would be to try and redeem your friendship with your partner. If your friend is not willing to work out your differences, ask your teacher if you can change your partner or work on the project alone.

So, I won Employee of the Month for busy season. Same award I got last year. Just in time for performance reviews. So I am likely to be adequate (3 rated on a bell curve of my peers). At least I could attend the celebratory dinner this year.
That, and the gaming PC which is slowly being built, are just enough to keep me from throwing myself in the woodchipper.
Woman says she no longer believes in God or gods; she is examining her faith. Having come from the other perspective, building an adult and informed opinion on your faith is vital.
Woman is also bringing up internet clickbait articles about gender relations, "rape culture" and the Elliot guy who killed a bunch of people. This and religion feeds into how I am oppressing and controlling her.
Woman has gained more weight from comfort eating, and is bringing up suicide attempts.
Worried. But it's fine.

|38 weeks! heading to physical therapy, feeling like crud after a crappy couple nights of sleep.
how far along?
38 weeks.
how big is the baby?
he's weighing in at about 6.8lbs and measuring a bit over 19.5 inches long. his organs are mature enough to be ready for life outside the womb at this point.
total weight gain:
27lbs so far.
so annoying. I was up until 3am the other night for no reason at all, and then last night I was up until 1:30am. I'm so thankful I'm on bed rest, cause lots of naps are happenin' around this house.
best moment of the week:
oh geez, lots of good things happened over the week:
1. we finally got the crib put together! I love it. it's so perfect. it was super easy to build, too.
2. I also put together Ronin's bookcase. it needs to be filled, but it's getting there!
3. we went up to Baltimore on Saturday evening to enjoy some delicious (aka the best in Maryland) crab cakes at one of our favorite restaurants.
4. I had dinner with my BFF and another great friend last night... it was nice to have some girl time (and a glass of delicious moscato).
5. we got our maternity pictures back! they are absolutely beautiful, not that I had any doubt in Jen's talents. I am so blown away by them and I'm so glad we made the decision to do them. I'll share my favorites once I upload the photos to the computer, but this link will take you to a sneak peak. ;)
also, an important event to be mentioned:
on Thursday, I was sent over to labor & delivery after my weekly appointment, due to my OB's concerns regarding my blood pressure and my recent headaches. they wanted to run some labs (blood work and urine analysis) to make sure I did not develop pre-eclampsia. thankfully, everything came back PERFECT, so I didn't have to be admitted. I had a cervical check at my OB's office, and we are 100% high and closed, which means no effacement and no dilation as of yet. looks like Ronin is going to take his sweet time, which is fine with mama!
food cravings:
carbs, carbs, carbs.
food aversions:
nothing really.
everything, haha. no contractions yet though!
most looking forward to:
what I miss right now:
my weekly paycheck. this is the first time I've ever been unemployed in 12 years, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that money.
next appointment:
Friday morning.

Concerns have been raised about visibility at a junction on the main Loughgall to Portadown Road.
Newry & Armagh DUP Assemblyman William Irwin said he had been approached by residents and road users on the dangers of accessing the Drumnasoo Road from the main Loughgall/Portadown Road.
Mr Irwin, who has been in contact with Transport NI officials, said there were "deep concerns" over the lack of visibility especially when approaching from the Loughgall side and turning right into Drumnasoo Road.
He said, "Having driven the road many times it is a concern I share fully. Traffic approaching from the Portadown direction is not visible for those waiting to turn right until the very last second and I feel it is important that Transport NI officials look closely at this location and seek to make improvements.
"This particular stretch of road close to the Drumnasoo Road junction is very narrow and has sweeping bends and there is a certainly a case in my opinion for much needed improvements to enable drivers to see oncoming vehicles much earlier than is currently the case."
He concluded, "As one road users stated to me "you take a chance at this junction" and that is the reality at this time. However it is not good enough that drivers and passengers are placed at this risk and I will be raising my concerns with Transport NI officials." to lobby for improvements."

My idea of Heaven! A garden full of roses and the wonderful perfume that can be so intoxicating. Oh what joy!
This is a climber that was in the garden when we moved here. I never found out it's name. It flowers abundantly throughout the summer even during dry spells when the leaves all fall it continues to flower. It is my only rose without perfume but is forgiven because of it's splendid show. It is no good as a cut flower as it looses it's petals within a day. Any suggestions on it's name?
This little gem is Aviateur Bleriot another rambler. It grows on the arch Mike rebuilt over the middle steps. The perfume is delightful especially standing on the steps surrounded with roses.
This is Sweet Juliet which in fact opened later in the day.

Lawyer Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization for most solo attorneys or two attorney firms.
Step 1: Keyword Analysis (10 Targeted Phrases)
When your potential clients use the internet to research topics they often use relevant common phrases like "auto accident lawyer", or "tax attorney", or "divorce lawyer". These words are referred to as keywords. RF Marketing Group will research the keywords relevant to your business and suggest that you sprinkle them throughout the content of your site. Keywords are very important but it is just as important not to overdo them. Search engines will penalize for overuse of keywords.
We will research the competition for your top 20 keyword phrases.
Step 2: On Page Optimization: Title Tags & Meta Tag Generation
Another crucial aspect to good search engine optimization is Meta tag generation. Meta tags are the HTML codes that describe the contents of your web page. Search engines use Meta tags to catalog and categorize your website. The most important of these Meta tags is the title tag. Without well researched Meta tags your website may not be categorized as you intended resulting in poor search engine rankings. RF Marketing Group will generate and include keyword rich Meta tags on your web pages (up to 10 pages) with relevant keywords.
Step 3: Off Page Optimization: Link Popularity Building
Link popularity is one of the most important factors for ranking high in search engine results. The more quality inbound links you have pointing to your site the higher you will tend to rank. Quality inbound links come from sites that are relevant to your site content. Quality links generate traffic more likely to be converted into sales. RF Marketing Group is committed to getting your site more relevant, theme-based, one-way, inbound links. Our SEO Package includes the manual submission of your website to 1000 internet directories. These directories are human edited which means that an actual person reviews your submission and decides whether or not to place your site on their directory. If they do, then you have a valuable inbound link that is considered as a 'vote of confidence" by the major search engines.
Warning: Don't fall for reciprocal link schemes or "linking co-ops" or circular linking schemes. Google is wise to them and considers them to be Spam. The links that have real value are one-way inbound links from human edited sources. That is why our service is so valuable to your firm.
Step 4: Search Engine Ranking Reports
As a valued RF Marketing Group SEO customer, we will provide you with your a search engine ranking report for each of your targeted keywords upon your request. We will provide these tracking reports to you for up to one year. Just email us and request the report and we will send it to you.

House Linens Universal Sofa Cover - Sofa tables are regarded as a prime requirement and therefore are common pieces of accent furniture for all residences. But, the sofa tables we know now come from a very long history of development. Sofa tables started appearing around the seventeen hundred, and like settees, they were known because of their high attributes. With hearths, sofas and sofa tables were paired in many rooms at that point.
A hearth was typically considered the centre and focus of a common room. So those in the room could take great advantage of the heat of the fire, occasionally, they might be placed near the hearth or fireplace with chairs. To the wall, a move was made by sofa tables, for a while after this. They were pushed back, between the wall along with the rear of the sofa, away from sight. It was during this time that their design and style took a dip.
No longer was it important for them to be icons of beauty, as they would not be seen by any one. Then, thankfully for sofa tables, there was another shift. Nowadays, they are just as typically located in the middle of the area or near the hearth are they are up against a wall. They are loosely defined as any table near a sofa and were considered to several distinct tables. As we know, a sofa table is generally found in the rear of the sofa these days.
Modern ones function more as a decorative piece, usually having a long and narrow appearance. They typically are available in several styles from modern to baroque. The sofa tables which originated throughout eighteen hundreds that are early and the late seventeen were very deliberate. Today, as we could see the upholstered sofa didn't appear at that time. The settee was the standard before that interval, which may be paired using a sofa table.

Step #1
Acknowledge The Pain
You will get shut down by people when you talk about your business!
When you do, you will handle it in one or all of the following ways.
- Avoid the situation by not talking to people or making phone calls. This is one of the biggest mistakes people make because it's your money making activity for your USANA business.
- Become defensive. If a person shuts you down, you take it personally.
- Begin to doubt yourself.
Remember that acknowledging pain doesn't mean feeling sorry for yourself. It's easy to get the two confused. When you feel sorry for yourself, you block suggestions, create obstacles and turn the pain into fear. Acknowledgement is staying open and embracing the challenge.
The best way to prepare yourself and overcome the pain, fear and self-doubt is with solid training and support.
Step #2
Listen To The Lesson
Building your USANA business in Indonesia, as well as your own country, requires stepping out of your comfort zone.
Don't worry that you aren't grasping a skill the first time you try it. You feel embarrassed about making a mistake. Or what you're doing doesn't look exactly like what others are doing.
Take the risk of feeling awkward. You'll begin to stretch your ideas, skills and confidence to the next level.
As you go through the awkward stage, you'll develop two abilities. Patience and Clarity. Patience teaches you to stay calm, make knowledgeable decisions and keeps you consistent. Clarity helps you to stay grounded on what your goals are and stay focused on achieving them.
Step #3
Create A Positive Change
Learning from a teacher who has stopped learning is like drinking water from a stagnant pond.
Indonesian Proverb

Here's what our team can offer you:
- Help in identifying your opportunities.

Where to find the best food in Xian, China's ancient capital, from pancakes to persimmon doughnuts
The influence of merchants from the Middle East, Europe, and Central Asia who brought with them the cuisine and flavours of their regions can be seen to this day in the street food of Xian
Related topics
For a culinary treat in Xian, home of China's Terracotta Warriors, look no further than the western city's Beiyuanmen Muslim Market.
Walk among the tourists in the tangle of streets just north of the ancient Chinese capital's Drum Tower and roughly one in 10 is wielding a kebab skewer jammed with chunks of lamb or beef.
Hot steam floats up from the giant woks and vats of boiling broth lining the streets. Cool mist rises from the piles of bright pink sliced pomegranate displayed atop boxes of dry ice. Vendors crowded in front of their carts shout their offerings: "Lamb skewer!" "Fresh pomegranate juice!" "Persimmon doughnuts!" Men with hazel eyes wearing white caps and brandishing short daggers butcher lamb carcasses. Blood drips onto the cobblestone streets. The market gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "open kitchen".
The Muslim market is a stone's throw away from the city's Bell Tower, and one subway stop from the south gate of the old city wall. From inside the market, follow small blue signs through narrow alleyways lined with vendors selling kitsch bejewelled caps, mini terracotta warriors, woven slippers and Obamao T-shirts, and you'll arrive at the city's Great Mosque – a 12,000 square metre compound built in the Ming dynasty style. It is the largest mosque in China.
Xian's ancient roots: tradition underpins city's frenetic race back to glory
The monumental scale of what's left of the ancient city and the sheer variety of the food on offer are a reminder of Xian's former glory and of the vastness and diversity of the empire it ruled over. It's on a par with other capitals of empire – Cairo, Rome, Istanbul – cities built on power, and faith.
Xian, formerly known as Changan, was at one end of the Silk Road, which started in 207BC and connected Chinese traders with the West. During the Tang dynasty, Changan played host to merchants from the Middle East, Europe, and Central Asia. They brought the cuisine and flavours of their regions: cumin, garlic, saffron, chilli, mutton and nan.
Over the years, Xian officials have tried several times to close down the Beiyuanmen Muslim Market. It's prime real estate, and it's easy to see that everywhere else the city is upgrading – from the cranes that dot the skyline to the empty areas of gravel and dust just inside the city wall. But the market remains – its residents and vendors too entrenched, too much an integral part of the city's economy, history and appeal.
For example, Mr Wang, a Hui Muslim who was born and raised in Xian, has been selling fried pancake – and only fried pancake – at his market stand Wang Jia Can Ting on Da Pi Yuan Street for 30 years. His pancakes are quick and made to order: scallions and ground beef encased in a crisp, thin crust. When asked the secret to making a good pancake, his response was simple: "Fresh vegetables that are in season, the right sauce, and the right amount of salt." Thirty years of practice also doesn't hurt.
Perhaps the best known Xian dish is yangrou paomo, literally "lamb meat dunk bread". It is a lamb stew thick with tender slices of meat, glass noodles, black fungus, and crumbled flat bread.
City of Eternal Peace: Xian is the heart of Chinese civilisation
At the busy restaurant chain Laomijia Paomo (various locations), I talked to two businessmen from Xinjiang. When I enthused about the dense flavour of the soup and the delightfully chewy bread, they scoffed. The paomo in Xinjiang was the real thing, they said. There, no one would offer to tear up your flat bread for you. And you'd find baby lamb on the menu – taking the paomo up another notch. But here, they said, the market is teeming with people and the paomo flies off the shelves. It's not bad, but the huge lamb carved up on the street is mostly for display.
One worker stood near the window in front of a large bowl; her only job was to tear up the mountain of pita to her left into pebble-sized pieces.
Along Beiyuanmen Street, crowds line up for another famous Xian snack: the roujiamo, also known as Chinese burger. The thick, circular pita bread filled with braised meat is simple and filling. Chilli oil is optional.
When in Xian, do not miss out on a meal at JiaSan Tangbao Zi, or Jia San Soup Dumpling, a three-storey behemoth at 93 Beiyuanmen Street that specialises in lamb meat soup dumplings. The thin-skinned steamed dumplings, which are dipped into a vinegar-chilli-ginger sauce, are a delectable twist on the typically pork-filled xiaolongbao. Bite a small hole in the skin, slurp out the soup and devour.
Late autumn may be the perfect time to visit Xian: in October and November, pomegranate and persimmon are in season. The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice sold at every street corner is at its sweetest, and persimmon doughnuts – my favourite Xian snack – are everywhere in the market. Crisp on the outside and gooey and sweet on the inside, the doughnuts are orange globs of mashed persimmon fruit, best eaten hot.
On a visit to the Terracotta Warriors, the streets leading to the ticket centre are lined with persimmon and pomegranate vendors. Women with plastic Easter egg baskets filled with fruit approach, competing with each other on the price. Be sure to bargain hard. A fresh pressed juice is 5 yuan (HK$5.60). A box of 24 persimmons can be had for 10 yuan. A pomegranate is 3 yuan a pop. A full evening of snacking at the Muslim market should run you up to no more than 80 yuan.
An hour's drive will take you to Shang Wangcun, or Wang Village. The local government there has decided to transform the village into a series of restaurants. Go for simple, clean, home-cooked dishes such as eggs fried with osmanthus flowers, spicy chicken, potatoes with tomato sauce, and the local favourite: spinach noodles. You know you're eating organic when you see the chickens laying eggs just outside the front door. The restaurant Chang Lai Ju on Dong Yi Street, or East First Street, literally means "come often", and if I were living in Xian, I would.
Taking a piece of Xian's culinary history back home with you is easy. Pick out a few nans among the overwhelming variety: sunflower encrusted flatbreads, round stout bagels, sesame-flecked and flower-shaped. Designed to last for up to a month and a half as nourishment for nomads and travellers, the thick, hearty breads are a long-lasting companion for your journey back from China's delectable ancient capital.

Kings-Flames PreviewNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Calgary Flames missed an opportunity to improve their standing in the postseason race in their last game, falling to a team desperate to stay alive in the Western Conference playoff race.
Calgary's next opponent won't have that same motivation.
The Flames continue their battle for playoff position when they try to complete a season series sweep of the lowly Los Angeles Kings on Monday night.
Calgary (44-28-6) is in good position to win the Northwest Division despite being locked in a tight battle with Vancouver for the title. Three of its four remaining games are against teams currently outside the Western Conference playoff picture and its other one is against the Canucks.
The Flames, though, didn't help themselves out Friday night when they were flat throughout a 4-0 loss at Minnesota - their fourth defeat in six games. The Wild were fighting to stay in the playoff chase, but Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff thought his team should've played with the same intensity.
"It was a big game for us, too," said Kiprusoff, who gave up three first-period goals and was briefly pulled by coach Mike Keenan before the first intermission. "So, it's no excuses. We didn't play that well."
Calgary hopes to bounce back by continuing its dominance over Los Angeles (32-35-11). The Flames have won the teams' first three meetings with an 11-4 scoring advantage in those games. They've also gone 10-1-0 with one tie in 12 home games versus the Kings since March 30, 2002.
The Kings have gone winless against the Flames only once, posting a 0-3-0 mark with one tie in 2001-02.
While its recent history against Calgary doesn't bode well for Los Angeles, the club has to be encouraged after a 6-1 home win over Phoenix on Saturday night.
Rookie forward Brian Boyle scored twice in the first period, jump-starting the Kings offensively and helping them snap a three-game winless streak as they matched their highest goal total of the season.
The Kings had scored nine goals in their previous seven games, going 1-5-1 over that stretch.
"It was a great feeling to be able to help out, we've been having trouble scoring goals," said Boyle, a first-round selection by the Kings in the 2003 draft who's still trying to make his way in the NHL.
The 6-foot-7, 244-pound Boyle has three goals in four games since being recalled from Manchester of the AHL on March 27.
"I am trying to stay here for the rest of the year and hopefully string a few good games together," he said.
Kiprusoff could make that a challenge, as he's 3-0-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average in his first three meetings with Los Angeles this season. He made 36 saves for a 2-0 road win in the teams' last matchup Feb. 12, improving to 12-5-1 with a 2.39 GAA lifetime against the Kings.
Los Angeles' Jon Quick made 18 saves and allowed one goal in that February loss, his first career game against Calgary.
Quick could have another strong performance if the Flames continue to struggle with the man advantage. They're 0-for-24 on the power play during their 2-4-0 stretch.
Quick has a 1.97 GAA over his last seven games, but he's 2-4-1 in that span due to Los Angeles' offensive struggles.

John Dufilho has been writing music since the year 2000—in fact, eight albums worth of it! On his first full-length album since 2008 to be released under his new name, John Singer Sergeant, this creative and edgy collection of songs takes on a serious collaborative effort. With tracks that include backing music that Sergeant recorded entirely by himself, he invited a cast of well-known musicians to appear on this work of art. Artists such as Ben Kweller, The Apples in Stereo Robert Schneider, Centro-matic's Will Johnson, Rhett Miller of the Old 97s, Kool and the Gang's Sir Earl Tool, HIP favorite and lablemate Sarah Jaffe, and Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla. Currently also the drummer for Apples in Stereo, John Dufilho's new project was inspired by, and is a downright homage to the nineteenth century American painter, John Singer Sargent (note the difference in spellings!). The album's inspirational motifs and recollections paint their own pictures, giving all fourteen songs a definitive sense of recognition. All include a number of incredible artists and songwriters; it would be hard to say that Dufilho isn't creating his own homage for all well-known, self-inspired contemporary artists on today's indie-rock scene. In his video for "Mountains, Oceans, and Elephants," viewers completely divulge themselves in Wes Anderson-esque theme, where there is a balance between time and theatrical elements. "Mountains, Oceans, and Elephants" features the welcoming vocals of Ben Kweller, and the video is absolutely compelling. The analysis of a large birthday cake echoes familiar family memories that have been created throughout the years. The burning of still wrapped presents, uneaten candy on the ground, and deflated balloons represent the distance between family members and other relationships centered around the very feelings of love as people grow older. However, "Mountains, Oceans, and Elephants" seems cryptic and hard-hearted, but the captivating vocals of Ben Kweller and the ever-so calming sounds that Dufilho creates leave you breathless, yet somehow relieved. The video for "Gone in a Second" includes moving paper dolls and pictures of horn sections that create a certain elegance that reminds us all of another, distant time of the past. However, the title of the song stands for the theme of this video—time moves too fast! The song features Tony Miller, Sarah Jaffe, and Spyche, artists that have all made a name for themselves over the years. The song is a celebration of timelessness and the wonders of heartwarming music!

Every day, people in New York use a stairwell to get from one place to another. For some there are no other options. Sometimes, however, if not properly maintained, stairwells can become hazardous and significant injuries and even death can result. Recently, a New York man was killed in a slip and fall incident involving a stairwell.
Family claiming wrongful death march in memory of loved one
The loss of a loved one is always challenging. For friends and family of the deceased, the loss may be even more difficult if the death was caused by the acts of another person. In New York, a family who believe their loved one was wrongfully killed has planned a march and press conference in memory of the deceased.

WordPress is not a very easy thing to learn. If you lack familiarity with this platform, any advice is beneficial to you. Be mindful that there is a direct correlation between the level of your WordPress skill and knowledge and your success as a web content creator. You are about to read some helpful WordPress information.
It is easy to do video blogging with WordPress. It might require a little extra effort, but it's definitely worth it. Video blogs are perfect for Internet users who are visual. People enjoy videos, and a video that explains things well can grab their attention faster than words can.
Make sure that you do not choose the same design as everyone else that has a WordPress site. Though it is less time consuming, your site will blend in with other blogs. Make a site that's as unique as your business.
Take the time to research WordPress prior to working with it. Adequate planning will save you time in the long run. Learn what you can about SEO, or search engine optimization, and find out how to create engaging content for visitors. Learn how you can use WordPress to the highest advantage. That will help make sure that you don't have a tough time when you start.
If your post has a lengthy title, make sure to adjust the permalink. This would be a URL that is too long: "Ten Parenting Methods For Taming Kids The Smart Way." Instead, you could change the permalink to "tips-parents-unruly-kids" or something similar based on your SEO keywords.
Make a schedule for your posts. If you are aware of your posting time, your motivation will increase. The fact is, you will be able to write several posts all at once, and then have WordPress upload them on a set schedule.
Make a schedule when you wish to start posting. You can stay motivated when you know how to post. You can site during a day and make posts for the entire week, and then you can schedule WordPress to post them for you.
Better your search engine rankings by taking a couple minutes with pictures before uploading them. You should incorporate title tags to your photos. Your title will show up if someone "pins" that image to Pinterest.
Eliminate any content that is not adding value to your blog. This will help ensure that your site remains user-friendly. You can use a plugin called Akismet to filter spam on your website.
The greeting appearing at the head of the WordPress website page should be very engaging. You can cultivate customer relationships this way, by including a message on top commenting on how visitors found your site. Access this option using the WordPress Greet Box plugin as it helps make your visitors' experience less impersonal.
You might spend some time making changes, only to see that they haven't taken effect. That is likely not the case. Clear the browser cache to see if it helps. If your depress the "shift" key while reloading your browser, the changes you made should show.
Don't use "admin" as a username. When you are showing as "admin", your site has a higher chance of being targeted by bots. This is a huge security risk. Look at the users of your site and delete any names that use admin or administrator. Choose names other than these.
Create a charming greeting for your website. This makes things a bit more personal with readers since you can make a message that shows how others found your site. This helps things look natural and you can find it on the plugin called WP Greet Box.
Security is an important measure that you will want to consider. Keep your password to yourself. Download reputable plugins to stay safe at all times. If your are hacked or infected with malware, all your hard work on your site will be lost.
Use targeted titles and descriptions. These will be the first things your audience sees when discovering your blog via a search engine. Because of this, they are extremely critical. To get more control over such things on your own WordPress site, consider using Scribe software. This will allow you to edit the items and, in turn, attract more visitors.
Make sure you have just the minimum number of WordPress plugins you need. It can be very tempting and exciting to download as many as possible, but doing so will burden your site with a lengthy load time. This can slow things greatly and affect your search engine ranking. Websites that run slow get ranked lower by search engines compared to websites optimized for speed.
Make sure your media library isn't too confusing. If you just upload images randomly it'll get out of control and disorganized. Create several folders and place each image in the appropriate one. Later on, when you want to reuse an image, it'll make the search a whole lot easier to deal with.
Make sure you are always using the latest WordPress version. Updates usually contain patches that solve security issues and get rid of vulnerabilities. If you use an older WordPress version, it opens your site up to attacks of malware. Therefore, always install any updates that WordPress rolls out to ensure that your site is secure and tight.
Don't install more WordPress plugins that you will be using. Excessive plugins will slow down your computer and lead to wasted time. A slow site can negatively impact how your site ranks on some search engines. Slower sites don't rank as high as sites that are performance-optimized.
Write blog posts in advance and then schedule them to be posted later. Have the articles posted at times when you are unable to post them. Find the Publish box on your Edit screen. Beneath that, look for "Publish Immediately." Set the times in military time and the day, month and year you want to post it. Choose the "OK" option. Read through your "Schedule For" screen, then select "Schedule" if everything is right.
Make sure your blogs are backed up. Update it regularly. Consider a plugin, for example Xcloner. Use the plugin or site you're confident in for blog backup, but be sure to backup in a lot of places. You don't want to take the chance of losing all your blog posts.
Nobody needs to approve comments manually anymore. Instead, Akismet can do this for you. Allow comments to post without having to have approval in order to simplify things. If you don't, you're just wasting time.
Write blog posts in advance and then schedule them to be posted later. You can have them posted at specific times, even when you are nowhere near a computer. You can easily do this using the Publish command located on your Edit screen. Under the Publish box is a radio button that says Publish Immediately. Input the military time, day, month, and year that you want your post to be published. Click OK. Check the "Schedule For" page and then hit "Schedule".
When choosing a website header, avoid the drop-down menu. Rather, you can use keyboard-based shortcuts. Push down "control" and then choose a number ranging from 1 up to 6. If you use headers a lot, this can save you a ton of time.
Is it challenging to meet self-imposed deadlines for your posts? Write your posts when you want and set the time when it should be posted. As you open up the posting area, you'll notice the option to select a future posting time. You can write your posts without worrying about remembering to post them.
As you search for plugins, make certain to read reviews. Lots of people know how to create plugins. Do not use a plugin with many issues associated with it. Go for popular plugins that have a four to five star rating to be on the safe side.
When searching for plugins, spend time reading through the reviews. These plugins are not that difficult to create. You should stay away from plugins that are full of problems. Plugins with a lot of downloads and high ratings are generally safe to use.
Are you sick of clutter in WordPress? Toggle off the homepage boxes you don't need. You can do so via the "Screen Options" button at the top of the WordPress window. Click that link to get a menu which helps you control which boxes appear.
Are you sick of clutter in WordPress? Toggle off the homepage boxes you don't need. To do this, go to the top of WordPress's window and go to "screen options". Just click that button and access the menu that prompts you to turn the boxes you like on or off.
Get a webhost that is able to install WordPress by simply clicking a button. This way, you won't have to create a separate database. The host will create a domain and database with just one click.
Choose a host for WordPress with tools that allow WordPress to be installed easily. This will prevent the need to create a separate database. One click will allow you to pick a domain name and secure the database as well.
Try using different authoring tools for your blog. Do you dislike WordPress's dashboard? Try Windows Live Writer, a third-party program for authoring blogs. WordPress is compatible with a variety of tools that make it more efficient. Try different ones to determine which works for you.
Try several different tools to author blogs. Do you dislike the dashboard for WordPress? Try blog authoring applications that work well with WordPress. Lots of tools can work well in conjunction with WordPress in this way. Give some of them a try, and you will surely find just the right tools for you.
Differentiate the author's comments by highlighting them. The comment section is where people ask any questions they might have. When you respond to these questions, they can sometimes be overlooked. To make them stand out, highlight your responses. That way, these comments are easy to spot.
Prior to building a site with WordPress, come up with a plan of action. List all the things you're wanting to accomplish with your website and think about what people will want to get from it. That helps you create a site that addresses your objectives right from the start.
Write a tentative plan before starting your WordPress blog. List all the things you're wanting to accomplish with your website and think about what people will want to get from it. That allows you to build a site which can accommodate your needs without you having to add stuff later.
Use the "Read More" button for lengthy posts. Nobody wants to see huge walls of text on the landing page of a blog. Permit visitors who want to read more to do so by clicking a link. Doing otherwise can leave your blog cluttered and uninviting.
You can always add "Read More" buttons. Nobody wants to see huge walls of text on the landing page of a blog. Let your visitors click if they wish to read more. Avoid over cluttering your blog and making navigation difficult.
Put images on your site. It is actually true when people say a picture is a lot more worthy than very little words. This adds much more interest to your site. You must use image tags in order to make your images accessible to the search engines.
Do your research before planning your WordPress blog. For example, social media groups, forums and blogs are great places to get great advice. No matter what issue you have, they can help you.
WordPress can be difficult, especially if you are new to it. But, now that you have read these tips, you're on the right path. You simply need to use your new knowledge and get the ball rolling.
If a particular post is not ready for publishing, it can be held in "unpublished" mode. You'll still be able to edit it but others will not see it. Once your post is exactly the way you want it, you can publish it.
