New design, new goals, exciting future

Lyved has come a long way since its launch in January. Some of the most popular articles have been read thousands of times; some even hundreds of thousands of times. Many of the goals I set have been accomplished but now it is time to go even BIGGER!

With the launch of this new design, today marks the journey of taking Lyved from what it was yesterday to what will be one of the most popular and influential blogs in the world in the near future.

Lyved will continue to cover success, goals, and personal development but life consists of many things, so Lyved will also cover other topics. No matter what subject is being discussed, all articles will remain inspiring, positive, motivational, and informative.

I believe sharing goals helps people achieve them even more quickly thanks to positive pressure. So to give me an extra boost I’d like to share with you my new goals for Lyved:

- Make Lyved one of the Top 100 Blogs on Technorati

- Increase readership to at least 1 million unique individuals a month.

- Have Lyved, our articles, and our opinions featured in magazines, newspapers, and on television.

- Turn Lyved into a platform where high profile and low profile people of the world can share and discuss whatever is on their minds.

- Turn Lyved into a full time business.

- Bring positivity to the negative-filled media.

- Raise awareness for important causes.

- Win a blog award.

- Change the world even more.

You may be thinking, “When will all this be achieved?” Well my goal is to accomplish a lot of these within the next six to twelve months. With more focus and hard work it is very achievable. I’ve included this goal list on the about page. I will update it whenever something is achieved or when I think of new goals to add to the list, so please be sure to check it out once and awhile.

Now, I’d like to give a special thanks to a few of my friends for helping re-launch Lyved:

Firstly, I’d like to thank Konstantino Kapetaneas. He designed this amazing layout for Lyved. The design is very simple, sleek, and very professional, perfect for Lyved. If you’d like to check out some of Konstantino’s other designs and creations please visit his portfolio here http://konstantino.deviantart.com/.

Secondly, I’d like to thank Syed Balkhi for coding the design to work with wordpress. Syed has an amazing talent and runs a web design company called Uzzz Productions. If you’re interested please visit their website here: http://www.uzzz.net/.

Thirdly, I’d like to thank Jacob Gube for helping me with moving Lyved to a new server. If you are into web design and development I recommend Jacob’s blog Six Revisions. It is an excellent resource and has quickly become one of the top blogs in its genre.

Lastly, I’d also like to thank Marius Jivoin for creating Lyved’s great new logo.

I appreciate all the help you’ve given me. Thanks to the four of you, Lyved is ready for a big future.

I’d also like to thank all of you for being a part of the beginning of Lyved. It has been really exciting and interesting. But get ready for what’s next; it’s going to be very bright and exciting!

One more piece of information: I really enjoy writing but I’d like to get many more voices on Lyved. So if you are interested in writing please visit this page for more information.
