Before I get started, I just want to take a second and say Hi to everyone!\u00a0 I am honored to be part of this amazing group and I chomping at the bits to get off of Puppy Chow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

PBII Could not have been at a better time.\u00a0 I have been frustrated with my Blog for quite a while and just a few days before it was announced I had decided that to make the jump over to a WordPress.org site. It is currenlty on Quickblog through GoDaddy and the theme for that is definitely NOT like Burger King<\/strong>.\u00a0 If it’s not the template, it ain’t happenin’.\u00a0Where as on WP, it’s more like your way, right away.<\/p>\n

Now that I have my theme up, my biggest task now is making it in to a Delightful dish<\/strong> that will keep consumers coming back for more.\u00a0 In my case I believe it is in the design, like an unorganized file.\u00a0 You can be number one on every search engine imaginable but a ‘User Un-Friendly<\/em>‘ site will just push folks away.\u00a0 Many would rather have the convenience of McDonald’s than to have a 30 minute wait for Fine Dining.
