Uncategorized Friday’s episode of RocketBoom featured Race Walking. The gentleman in the show claims to be able to walk a mile in 6 minutes. It is worth a look.
So, what is the difference between walking and running when you do a mile in 6 minutes? Well, it all comes down to form. There are two rules that must be followed to be considered walking. First, you must maintain contact with the ground at all times. Second, the knee of the supporting leg must be kept straight from the time it touches the ground till the time it passes under the body.
You can see Race Walking 101 for more information.

money making sites The traffic has really dropped down. I believe that the big upswing was a result of the article that I posted on Digg.com and Reddit.com. It seems that the traffic from that site really peaks on the next day and then tappers back down the day after that.
My plans at the moment are to post an article to those sites weekly with the goal of trying to get an article on the “popular” page.

Amazon Associates
If you are using WordPress, then you should download two plugins:
Now-Reading - This Plugin will maintain a list of all the books that you plan to read, are reading, and have read. You can post reviews and give ratings. The books show up in your sidebar. Also, it creates links to Amazon using your associate id so that you get a commission if anyone buys the book.
WP-Amazon - This adds a “Insert from Amazon” link below the article edit window. It allows for you to search for products on Amazon and to insert links to those products in your articles with your associate id.
