Happy Blog Launch Day!

Happy Blog Launch Day, and Welcome to me!
Ha, those are likely the most self serving words you’ll ever read in these pages – or so I hope. But at least for today, I’ll stand by them. Like a teenage girl on her birthday when everything is about her… well, ok, I won’t go to quite that extreme but you get the picture. I’m excited because if you’re reading these words then I’m an official member of the blogosphere – or whatever the kids are calling it these days – and I’m pretty excited about that… Now I just need to keep it between the rails.
Consider this post the warm handshake greeting you at the door – “WELCOME!”
In the spirit of a guided tour – there’s more information about me in my “Personal Introduction” and something akin to an unabridged mission or thesis statement in the “Do you Dave Ramsey?” title track. For a further peak into what makes me tick there’s “Dave Approved” which inventories some of my favorite things and borrowing from that theme there’s “My Beloved iPod, My Window to the World” which delves into my Top Ten iTunes features.
The title track companion piece “7 Shades of Dave” is my attempt at humor but there are also more serious “Taking the Buyout Plunge” and practical DYDR Tool articles as well.
One might say that I’m trying to nail the rock anthem, power ballad, sappy prom love song, and killer ‘B’ side all on my debut album… I’ll let you be the judge!
So again, welcome aboard and take a couple minutes to surf around, read an article, participate in a reader poll, signup for our feeds, or post a comment. I’d love to collect your feedback.
In the meantime, don’t forget to tip your waitresses and bartenders – by visiting our sponsor links – and we look forward to having you around!
Happy Blog Launch Day!!

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Hey, glad I’m here then!
Uh oh, I have some competition for my high rankings in Dave Ramsey type searches.. the game is on!
In all seriousness, good luck, and I’m sure you’ll do great!

The game is on bro! Hey, I recently signed up for your feed and have enjoyed your work. I’ve been meaning to add you to my blogroll… I’ll do that next, literally, when I’m done responding. In fact, I’m linking to one of your recent articles as part of a series on Goal Setting that I’m releasing starting next week.
I have been picking up some traffic from some silly Dave Ramsey type Goggle searches. I’m sure you’ve seen your share as well. However, right now I’d be happy to have a following half the size of yours!
Thanks for the greeting and good luck to you as well!!
Dave
Dave – very nicely done and good content! Keep it rolling and best of luck!
I appreciate the encouragement Jerry… I did a lot of writting prior to addressing the mechanical or technical side of launching the site and now I’m eager to get back to the writing
Welcome to an exciting world. I am truly stoked about reading your work, since I absolutely love Dave Ramsey. Let me know if I can help you in any way at all. And I have to agree with Stephen, the site looks great!
Thanks Dusty, glad you found us. Please do check out some of the other articles and let me know what you think. I look forward to checking out your site as well… Your feedback is plenty support… but secrets for building an audience are always nice too!
Thanks again and I trust you’ll visit and particiapte again!
Dave
Dave, I absolutely LOVE the look of your sight. Very nice job and good luck! I haven’t had a chance to read more than a couple of your posts but so far it looks great. I am looking forward to getting to know Dave Ramsey.
Thank Stephen, I appreciate your kind words… breaking into the blog game has been tougher than I expected on all counts – setting up the site and finding an audience especially, so I do appreciate the affirmations.
