When you owe the IRS a lot of money...

I just read a great piece on what to do when you owe the IRS a lot of money on Black Enterprise (click the pic to read the article) -- and they gave great advice.


Believe me, I'm blessing God for my husband and the IRS' lovely installment plan payout option this year, seeing as though we owe a lot since I made money online last year, and when you make money online through Google Adsense, Amazon Associates, Kontera, etc. -- they don't take out taxes, which is actually great, thinking of the time-value of money and all that.


Now I'm getting more organized and lining up to save more money so that we can break even next year and owe nothing. I pray.

Step by Step Blogger Instructions - Watch this video teaching how to create your own free blog...

I just found the below video detailing exactly how to create your own free blog on Blogger. It describes how to go to Blogger.com and get started posting. It took me back to that day in December 2005 when God showed me how to start my own free blogs -- now I've got more blogs than I know.


Anyway, it's been a lucrative journey, I must say. Even my 88-year-old father want to start this own blog, so I typed up some notes that I mailed to hin to go along with this quick teaching video:





Basically, to start your own free blog...


...I told my dad to take the first steps. Fill out all the information they ask of you and publish your first post.


Of course, some things are confusing and trial and error -- but you'll be amazed at how far you may go if you stick with it, plus if writing floats your boat and if you're passionate about it.


Don't get bogged down by what to name your blog or the template. You can always choose another design later -- and if you find another niche topic blog that you'd like to start, for example, elderly people who love computers, you can always start a new free blog that focuses on that topic.




Or, you don't need a topic at all


You can just name your blog your own name if you want, and if it's available.


Write about anything. But don't forget to be prepared for the world to see it. These Blogger blogs are indexed by Google -- and eventually, anyone could find it.


Blogging is so fun and rewarding.


Dive in.
