Here were your answers:

All right, your turn.  You have any wisdom to add to this list?

Looking for some advice on todays post please. Been thinking about this a lot lately, so please don’t just sit back, but participate…Please!

For those of you who in any kind of leadership positions, in the family, in a small group, a church, or a business, I’d like to know what you think the proper balance is between leadership and friendship.  Can a person be a friend with someone they lead?  How does this affect the leadership role?  In what ways do the leadership roles affect the friendship?

Your thoughts please.

If you’ve been reading Martyholman.com for very long (more than 3 weeks lets say), you know that I have recently changed the theme of my blog to this cool gray/white layout with disturbing bright red picture.  I like it.  I’ve received some good feedback as well.  Along with the blog change I’ve tried to make some changes on the widgets as well to best utilize my space for those who read the site.  One of the reasons for this was because I had my site graded here, and it didn’t do very well initially.  My old address did, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason it did well is because it’s a WordPress domain name, and let’s just say that Martyholman.com, though it has promise, is not quite as dressed up as it should be, internally and otherwise.

So I’m looking for some advice from bloggers and computer type people (this means you Eric) who will share what I might be able to do to improve the blog. 

Also, I need help dressing all my link colors in red.  I have no clue how to do this, and it appears that my link colors (the colors the words become when I link them to a site) do both red and black.  But you can’t always tell when the color is black because it’s only slightly more bold than before.  So I need all the links in red. 

Any advice anyone could give me would be appreciated.
