    Hey Can Anyone tell me the Real Difference Between Free Premium theme vs Paid Premium Themes of WordPress

  4. James Lenfers

    Well, I blog for passion primarily. If I am not in someway either passionate about it, or it is at least very interesting to me I sure can’t write about it and give it any justice at all.

    Which was something on a problem on trying to build something that covered enough areas of passion where I would work at it pretty much full time doing something I was passionate about. So what I ended up with was a Hybrid site.

    Because I am not a young guy to begin with. I am 57 and was fortunate to be kind of the right guy in the right place at the right time in 1995 on my first website I didn’t have to beat my head on the wall for years to become successful at it. I just had to be tuned in enough and work hard enough to understand what equaled Internet success on what you need to do in 1995 when it was exploding in the US.

    Okay now, being I am a old fart it takes a bit to get to my point. I was a success at the Internet in the US when it was not extremely difficult to become one. And around 1998 I ran into a old Cobol Programmer originally from India that had come back to the United States to work on Cobol Programming in preparation for Y2K.

    This old Cobol Programmer that grew up in India would tell me stories of what it took for him to even get to college and become a programmer to begin with. How much he had to split his time and just be at it all day long earning money for his family, taking care of his family, going to school, and then standing under streetlights at night with others to study their books and get the grades so they would have any shot at all on going to College.

    And listening to these stories about how hard he had to work to just survive in India, let alone become a successful college educated person on top of it just blew my mind on how easy Americans in general really had it. I worked as a kid, but I didn’t have to. I had a really good education tossed at me I didn’t even appreciate while I was getting it. And then there was a totally free 2 year college 30 minutes away that all I had to do was buy my books and get there. And if I got really good grades there, I would have no problem getting a scholarship to a 4 year college.

    This is a round about way of getting there. I don’t know how hard it is in India today compared to when that man was doing it under a street light at night after everything else he had to do on top of it. Yah, probably allot more opportunity right there then having to come to the United States. But I bet comparatively speaking, it is still very hard for most of the people there.

    And I would really like to take allot of these younger American kids, not all of them because allot of American Young people work very hard for what they get too, but a number of them and say, hey, go fight it out in India, and then come back here and talk about how hard this is here on the education you almost get handed to you on a silver platter to some level still.

    So is it really any wonder at this point here in the United States that when I call up a Tech Support line, I find about half the time anymore I am either talking to someone with a India accent, or actually got transferred to a office in India? Yah, there is a reason for that. Because an awful lot is getting taken for granted here that people are having to still work there rear ends off for over there.

    Well, here or there or anywhere I feel like those that earn the help should get it. My website is new, my Facebook page is new. That isn’t my first website though. It is the 62nd. The first one was 1995 as I said.

    So what am I going to be passionate about on top of writing, because I don’t constantly feel passionate at 57?

    And there is only one constant to it I can feel passionate about every single day. And that is that these people wherever they come from or live that are absolutely working there butts off on something honest that is a long hard trip unless you just happen to be one those just right people in the right place at the right time, deserve whatever help they can get.

    Remember the article you posted about the 134 directories you can list to? Yah, I got about 15 down that list of 134 so far. I had to pull 5 of them simply because they were coming off what was a company offering people a free setup to make a directory that is nothing but links. Of the 10 that weren’t pulled directly and I submitted to, I am still waiting for the first response they actually listed that directory request which is like 3 weeks ago I did.

    This is sad because some of them aren’t working what they have for some reason. Some I think are not working it because this is all they have a serious opportunity to do, and its not working for them on even getting a little bit of return out of it.

    So I made my website into a Hybrid between a blog when I want to write, and hopefully someday a serious full blown directory that actually seriously reviews, seriously sets real reviews so when they get listed it is a natural link, not a crap link that will do none of them any good at all.

    And yah, I caught the Macintosh thing also, but at this point I think I am on about 34th computer starting with the TRS80 model 1 in 1977 and old habits are hard to break.

    In most cases I belong to 2nd category. thank God 😀 But I do not understand the using of MAC. As I never used it so I do not know about it much. Does it affect your blogging quality and experience in better way and is there a huge difference among a MAC user and a WINDOWS user?
    I am new to blogging. I am struggling and learning new things every day. But there is huge fun and pleasure in that struggle cause when I am being able to do something successfully then it is giving me tremendous happiness. I am not a entire full time blogger but I make sure that I may give at least 3-4 hours to blogging no matter if I have to reduce my sleep time for that. If my blog will grow in upcoming days definitely I have a plan to become a full time blogger. 🙂

      It doesn’t make a difference. Its just ridiculous snobbery leftover from those who bought into Apple’s exclusivity marketing that began with Steve Jobs. I have worked extensively with Windows and Mac platforms and it does not matter (especially for blogging). Also, generally speaking, you can get a much more powerful machine for way less money if you go with a PC. If you’re going to be making reductionistic judgments, the use of a CMS vs a hand coded site or which CMS you use would matter more.

    Though its funny one but truth only you have described here

  7. Abdul Jabbar

    A third category should be, Blogging for just love (neither Adsense nor affiliate). Although you did a good classification. Agreed with you.
