There are not many people who have changed the words as decisively, as Bill Gates has. And there are fewer still who have accomplished the kind of change he’s accomplished as rapidly, thoughfully and purposefully.

It's been one week!

Greetings,

It’s been one week since I launched my new layout and Tumblr concept. See this post that lauched my concept last Sunday.

I have gained two followers on Tumblr via Twitter since my transformation. This blog has managed a slight increase in absolute unique visitors, according to Google Analytics. However, I ambitiously hoped for a significant increase.

On the contrary, I am proud to say that my Daily Words of Wisdom has experienced ample growth.

Every Sunday, I create a list of seven goals I wish to accomplish for the upcoming week. Mind you, these are small goals that play a slight role in my query of quarterly goals.

- Continue to run every morning
- Mind that food is fuel and only beneficial food should be consumed
- Read for at least thirty minutes daily
- Maintain this blog
- Twitter my WoW blog daily
- Take advantage of the warm Spring weather
- Make a final decision regarding year of 2009-2010

I hope that you, the reader, enjoy my new project. Let me know what you think! I’m eager to read your comments, suggestions and thoughts.

Peace is love,

Brandon Layland

Bill Gates: “I think it’s safe to say that the world has changed a lot in the last year. With the credit shortfall in the United States we’re seeing the biggest global economic crisis in more than a generation.

We had a period of incredible growth, almost 50 years of very positive growth, and some amazing things came out of that; whether it’s literacy, nutrition, education, stable governments, miracles like the Internet, the economy has grown on a worldwide basis every year, and this year will be the first time that it’s ever shrunk since World War II.”

Today my blog is reamped!

Hello all! Today I logged into Tumblr to find seven buttons staring at me: Text, Photo, Quote, Link, Chat, Audio and Video.

Tumblr Dashboard

That inspired me to finally blog daily. When I inspected the Tumblr Dashboard closer, I connected the seven buttons with the seven days of the week. Therefore readers may expect me to post as follows:

Sunday: Text
Monday: Photo
Tuesday: Quote
Wednesday: Link
Thursday: Chat
Friday: Audio
Saturday: Video

This should keep me on my toes. I am certainly excited to blog daily and I know truly believe that Tumblr is the way to blog. The only challege I forsee is on Thursdays. I do not know if I’ll be able to provide fresh content as I tend to chat with a set number of people.

Let me know what you think! I’m eager to read your comments, suggestions and thoughts.

Peace is love,
