Coincidently, I’m also reading a finance book that just got to a chapter about estate planning and wills. I’d like to ask: Does everyone have a will? If so, where did you get it from? Does using an online service like Legal Zoom actually count or would I just be writing a letter to Santa Claus?
Blog News:
Even though my Alexa rank still continues to slip upward, it looks like my mozRank has improved to a 4.34. And according to the stat checker I use, they predict I may have a chance of seeing a Google PageRank of 4!
Has anyone tried to sync their Google Webmaster Tools with Google Analytics? I did that this week, but now I’m not receiving any Webmaster data!? What’s up with that?

Thanks for the mention MMD. How long have you not been receiving your webmaster data via google? And sorry to hear about your great uncle. I’ve only had to deal with losing one family member while I was old enough to comprehend it. It was a pretty rough time even though I rarely got to see that relative.
Jeremy – I spoke too soon! I checked it yesterday and I now have data. I appear to be on some sort of two day lag!
Sorry to hear about your great uncle. My uncle recently passed away. Though I only met him twice (he lived across the ocean), I know how you feel. Thanks for inlcuding my post. Have a great weekend
Thanks John!
Sorry to hear about your great uncle. Wills aren’t my strong point so I can’t offer much advice there… sorry. I imagine something is better than nothing though.
Thanks Lance! At some point I think I will just draft one and then actually call a lawyer to make it legit.
Sorry to hear about your great uncle. I know how hard it is. I lost my elder brother when I was barely 9 years old, but I still remember those early days when I used to play with him.
Thanks Shilpan! And I’m sorry to hear about your older brother. That is a really terrible thing to endure when you’re a child.
