Looks nice! I do have a question off topic of your blog. Is Twitter working for you?

It's probably too early to tell. I guess I can honestly say a customer hasn't come out and told me "I found you through twitter." However I have done various searches for certain keywords. Not only has my store shown up on the first page results but twitter has as well. Now twitter links do not count as backlinks as you might already know. But if my twitter page keeps a competitor off the first page.... I'm all for it.

The other cool thing is wordpress has a twitter plugin. So every time I post a blog post I can have it automatically tweet it.

Sweet! I havent looked at the plugins for wordpress lately, so I need to check that out.

Just wondering, why didnt you set your blog as a subdomain? Or are you planning on using it to promote both sites?

On another note, I need a JD145G...as soon as I get the tractor (2010 Gas) moved from the farm to my place, get in inspected to see if its worth fixing I give you a shout!

Sounds good. That's a tough one... hopefully the engine doesn't need too much work. They were built differently then any other John Deere engine.

Shhhh.... Godaddy. It uses Wordpress... which is free and very easy to use and install on the server.

The tractor has two problems, one a blown head gasket, two transmission linkages are just wore out. If I cant find the parts for the transmission then there is no need to proceed and repair the engine. It does have a load hence the reason I would like to fix it. Years ago I had a chance to get factory trained on the JD404 through our local dealership. And your right the engine is an odd ball and the diesel isn't worth having.
