I just wanted to let everyone know that I may be doing some maintenance on my site tomorrow during the day.  I’m not sure how long it will take, but you my notice that some links may not work while I’m upgrading.  If you have any trouble tomorrow, just check back shortly.  I’m hoping that this will make your blogging experience even better.

As I mentioned last week, I was working behind the scenes on some big things.  Starting next week, not only can you find me here, you will also be able to find me on Akron Saves Now.   Akron Saves Now is a new site that will bring you special local deals and coupons, in addition to the deals I will provide.  A lot of my posts will be similar, but a there will be additional deals and such specifically targeted at Akron and NE Ohio, such as 50% off meal deals to local restaurants, hot local coupons and more.  You can also listen to WQMX, WONE or WAKR for more information on Akron Saves Now.

So take a look and start saving even more.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been in the process of upgrading my computer and as you all know, it takes a long time to get all your software installed and all your data transferred.  I will be posting later today when I get everything finished up.  I finally got to a point where I could actually post something.

I have some great upgrades and things in the work for you, so keep checking back.  Thanks again for your understanding.
