Before I get into what I have been doing, I should remind you all that today is Mega Swag Bucks Day at Swag Bucks! Yes, that’s right – today the chances are higher to earn the bigger denominations of Swag Bucks than normal. So what are you waiting for? Get searching!

Personally, I have been too busy to search (except for when I need a tidbit of information ). What have I been doing to be too busy to search? I have been working at my job, setting up websites (then monitoring them for spammers), and reading fiction books by Tamora Pierce about magic. I also sleep 8 hours a night, and if I have a spare moment or two I play a game. Lately the game I’ve been playing most is poker via Pokerstars.com’s client.

If you are friends with me on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter, you will know by know that I’ve gotten a free DVD and 1 free book so far from Amazon.com. I’ll bet you wonder how I do so, and how you can get started earning them too. In this post, I will tell you of two ways to do so.

A leader is an important person. They are the people everyone else follows. They are the ones who have to make the majority of the decisions that affect the group who they are leading. I believe a leader should have several qualities, which include:

• Flexible – the ability to be able to change with the circumstances
• Just – the ability to make fair decisions
• Truthful – A leader must not be afraid of what the truth is.
• Charismatic – the ability to persuade others that you are right when you know you are
• Calm – the ability to not get ruffled by circumstances
• Polite
• Respectful – the leader must respect those who s/he is leading
• Unifier – a leader must be able to unite various divisions among the people s/he leads

These are the qualities I believe a leader should have in my humble opinion. Some may have other qualities that they want to see in a leader, and I respect their views.

If I had to choose just one of the above to have in a leader, I would have to say flexible. From my study of history, I have seen that flexible leaders have helped their civilizations and/or nations to grow and prosper, well those who shunned change often caused their civilizations and/or nations to crumble and weaken in the long run.

If you have ever been here before, you may notice a few changes. If not, then you are really missing nothing (except easier registration). In fact, I’ve added a few features, while removing one or two as well.

Things I’ve added:

• links to sites where I’m a member
• a custom favicon (great for remembering what the bookmark is in supported browsers!)

Things I’ve removed:

• RPX (login and registration plugin – made it possible to use Facebook, Google, Yahoo, or OpenID for logging in and registration)
• Contact Form (removed due to spam)
• auctions (never really liked the idea)
• podcasts (never really could find a suitable topic for the long run)

I’m currently in the process of setting up this and the other sites I run due to a server move.  I’ll be sure to blog whenever I have a chance, or I’ve got something to share.
