since this is the area to introduce myself i guess i will do just that.

Well let me introduce myself to you all on a more formal basis. I have been using computers since I was knee high to a redbug (for those of you in the south or raised by such). Apple IIe, Original IBM PC, or Commodore 64 anyone? I have been on the internet since before there was this graphical wonderland we all know as the world wide web. Yep folks the internet used to be bland text. There were these programs with colorful names like archie, gopher, and telnet. To find out about another user you had to “finger” them. Which to me finger just never sounded quite right. I’m not real sure why that term was picked, but hey I didn’t develop it. Finger actually became somewhat of precursor to this whole blogging phenomenon. Sorry I digress.

My name is Johnathan Long, I am 30 years old, and I have been an internet entrepreneur since ’93 when the www was in its infancy, the only browser was mosaic, and there were only several thousand web sites. I have done everything from peddling some TI-81 tetris programs I wrote because I wanted to be cool like the guys with the fancy HP calculators, to autosurfs and hyips. I have run many different types of websites over the years but this is my first foray into blogging. My aspiration is to help as many people as possible to be successful and make some extra money online.

it has been a very educational though oft times frustrating experience. I have found that it takes much more time than I ever anticipated though I have really enjoyed helping others. Watching my work grow into something useful and beneficial to others, and increasingly profitable for me has been a great ride thus far. I have really been trying to work on writing quality content and build a good relationship with my readers. Having just recently found this blog and even more recently this forum has been a tremendous benefit to me. thanks kevin.

your more than welcome.

The forum is still really quiet but I am going to keep plodding along with it. I think It could be a great place for bloggers to help each other if traffic picks up.
