I currently work on some sports sites over here, which is quite interesting although there are a lot of issues involved with getting changed done. It's sometimes a little depressing but it's exciting working on such a renowned project and seeing behind the scenes.

I have some knowledge on wordpress and use a little on my own site, so if you get stuck yell out. I don't get a lot of time to play around with it, seeing I do it as a living anyway but I do enjoy cooking in the spare time, so I write a fair few articles on that.

Do you make much money blogging? Personally I guess I'm not in it for the money site, more in it for the passion, although I have been trying a few options out!

Have been blogging for pay since May 2007, and prior to that, i worked in the mortgage industry with family.

I like your title "online producer" it sounds like fun. I am wanting to learn blog design, specifically designing wordpress and blogger themes. It is something that i find terribly interesting and creative, and there is good demand for it now.

Wow! you're home interest rates go up every 3 months? my lord. I was recently talking to my brother-in-law who states it is harder and harder now for people to get subprime loans. Which bites for me, because it is the only way i would be able to get a home. I dont know what is gonna happen or what will be the replacement.

I won't bore you with more real estate talk. lol. Hope all is good and Happy Monday!

What exciting projects have you got going on?

I'm an online producer which is pretty much like a project manager, web designer/developer all rolled into one!

Our home loans are a nightmare because the interest rate keeps going up quarterly because of inflation. There's a lot of people not able to afford buying a house and the prices are going up also. This has made me realise that living with the parents and getting a better deposit is a smart move, in getting a house that I want!

What do you do?

Hi---Mel:

What do you do? and how is the real estate market in your neck of the woods? Here in the states, all kinds of woes plague us, with rates and with subprime loans, etc.

How is it where you live?

To be happy with my career path, whether that means moving or changing things here and to get back on my fitness regime. :D

Some more money coming in would be handy! The other one is to SAVE $$ for a house which I'll most likely buy next year after a good deposit by the end of the year!

O.k. that title was totally lame, but i was wanting to rhmye it. As 2007 closes and 2008 opens, every December brings in me hope and a sense of renewal, revival, etc.

I hope 2008 is my year, i plan to move back to my hometown of Chicago and be with my friends and family. Garner success with my online ventures. Make more new friends. (both online and offline) Win the $1 million dollar lotto jackpot. lol. Oh well, cant hurt to toss that one in. hehe. Oh...and world peace!

What about you? What do you wish for in 2008?
