1. - How to be Creative – Originally published in 2004 by Hugh Macleod at the Gaping Void. If you haven’t read it, you’re missing some of the best advice ever given freely over the internet. If you have read it, read it again…

2. - How to Make Money From Your Blog – If I had a dollar for every person who started blogging after reading this post… well… I could quit my job.
