Hi Guys,
I am new to the Warrior Forum and to the PIPs group here, so please be patient with me as this is my first new thread.:rolleyes:

A couple of days ago I recieved an email from Stone. I'm fairly certain that it was one of the "400" re-loaded messages. Anyway, he was discussing the PIPs opportunity and the fact that the initial costs were around $71.90.

That got me to thinking about something that had been knocking around in my head for a week or so as a possibility for an article. Consequently, I wrote a post for my blog and stuck it out there. You can find it at The $71.90 Franchise. I would really appreciate it if y'all would take a look and let me know what you think. I can still edit it, and if I am offbase about anything I would like to know. So I would appreciate your feedback, both good and bad .

I'm looking forward to spending time with all of you "pros".

Take care.

Not bad Larry.

You may want to check the format of your blog posts, the text is a bit scattered. Also, when you add hyperlinks, consider a different text for the link besides the address, makes for a big disruption in the text.

For example

Suzanne Morrison's Website Update Services

Use the "Hyperlink" icon when editing your post, or you can use HTML in other places (articles) as seen below

Thanks, Aaron, Yeah. I have had some trouble with formatting issues at blogger that I am trying to rectify. There have been some posts to my blog from the PIPS co-op that have been even more problematic. I have had to try to re-format each of them. It seems to be more of a problem with hard returns, and I haven't had much luck getting them to stick. Any suggestions? You're right about the links. I should know better than that: )

The other posts don't look to bad. When you edit a post, make sure you preview it before you post it, that way you'll know what it will look like. And you can always go back and edit an old post as well. I would suggest changing the font style and size to match the co-ops posts, just to bring some unity to the posts.

Sometimes holding down shift+return works. Sometimes nothing will work except either <br> or <p> - other times even that doesn't work.

Frustrating...

Hey Aaron. Just made the edits you suggested and it looks a lot better. I had a chance to read your second post as well and agree, although I am probably more inclined to change the fonts on the co-op articles to match mine, since I have about a dozen posts of my own and maybe two posts from the co-op. I always do preview my posts prior to posting, but they never seem to be formatted the same way when they are actually posted to my blog. Also, when I edit the co-op pieces they will stay in my formatting for awhile, but then revert back to the old formatting. I haven't figured out what is going on yet, but the formatting issues have been infuriating. I want consistency in my formatting and seem to spend a lot of time doing that with few results to show for the effort.
