Vern, Aleesha and all...

The first thing to understand is that you CAN'T do everything, especially at first.

There are many different techiniques and skills to be masterered. The Bombs are this forum are not for newbies. We take newbies and turn them into Bombers.

The way to learn each is to focus on one until you've completely mastered that Bomb. Then learn another, incorportating what you've learned with your new knowledge.

There are "official threads" for each Bomb. Stick with the one relevant thread, asking questions there, until you are comfortable with that thread.

For learning GodfatherBomb, you need to master BlogBomb first. You already have it installed, so you're done with that. You need to learn how to research and add pheeds.

The tech stuff will come and once you've learned it, you've learned it forever.

However, IMO your research will be the key to your sucess. Finding good pheeds about interesting topics that also can provide revenue is the real, long term key for GBomb.

On the GBomb sales letter, I say plan for 6-10 hours before you can create your first list/archive, which is a pretty big investment of time and effort.

But here's the real power. Once you get the system and know where to look for the best pheeds, you can create an entirely new newsletter in 30-60 minutes.

Remember, these newsletters write themselves, which means in theory, you can have 100 "totally automated" newsletters. This just isn't possible with any other newsletter software, as no one person has enough time to write 100 different daily newsletters.

This doesn't include web design, etc, as you can spend 100's of hours just getting a site to look "pretty".

Also, creating a site like lizardz.com takes a lot of time. I bought a template, have good html and photoshop skills and I still spent 8-10 hours on the template alone. That doesn't include using any of the Bombs.

Once you have mastered researching and adding pheeds to BlogBomb, then you'll need to learn how to insert them into GBomb templates, for use in email and/or webpages.

I made 10(?) "newsletters" for Liardz.com and can tell you the last ones I did are much better than the first ones.

Simply, for those starting with GBomb, start with BlogBomb and get to know it very well. Don't even think about anything else.

Pay attention to the two BlogBomb "Official Threads" (especially how to research and add RSS pheeds) as well as the "Colors Project".
