One caution for people hoping to start exercising and go from picture A to picture B: if you want to lose weight, exercise is not enough. You need to keep track of your calorie consumption, or you will just end up eating more. At least th

I don't follow football, so I don't know about getting popular. But if you want to hold onto the popularity you might want to generalize it, allowing someone to watch any two search terms, while keeping a landing page pre-filled with the

Smaller is probably better. I read something in Forbes (or maybe Fortune Small Business) about a guy who is building small rockets capable of launching things like science experiments and people's ashes into space. He's apparently one of
