AdSense has changed many of our lives for the better.
I struggled to make money with my Web site business for many years after starting it in 1998. My income depended on having clients. When clients left, my income dropped.
Then, a couple of years ago, my friend Joel Comm introduced me to AdSense. Specifically, what he [...]

Regular Family First readers know how much I loooooooooove cooking. I enjoy slipping a cooking site in as a pick from time And today, we’re putting one up for exhibit with a twist: It lets you cook with what you already have in your kitchen! No running to the supermarket!

I’ve done business with lots of folks over the years. By far, the majority have been reputable, honest folks who gave me what I was owed.

At presstime, I’m watching my beloved St. Louis Cardinals do battle with San Diego.
I don’t expect my Birds to go the distance this year, but I’m sure in the mood to be pleasantly surprised.

Everybody hates having to learn stuff, right?
Well, of course not. But many folks hated school and remain determined to avoid learning as much as possible.
That’s because the school environment was wrong for them. They didn’t find it fun.
Well, with today’s Family First site, you will find yourself learning the fun way. It’s called The Free [...]

My wife and I have something in common. We both snore.
We’ve long grown accustomed to it, and the wakee will roll the waker off their back. Problem solved.
However, snoring can be a big problem. It can develop into sleep apnea, a potentially serious health issue. And if one partner already has a problem with insomnia, [...]

I’ve been running a Web site business on the side since 1998. It’s been a fun, profitable venture.
One thing I’ve learned is to find a good hosting service and stick with it.
I signed up with some funky Italian service in 1998, and ended up threatening it with exposure on Family First if it didn’t refund [...]
