I've been thinking a lot about this in purposing a new blog. Although I started this venture with goals to someday earn a living, my main two overarching goals are to see obesity and type II diabetes trends reverse. I think the idea of influence/leadership is critcal to effect change in any effort online. I've been struggling with code for my social widget and thinking about what I could use to stand out. Thanks for the prompt, it reminded me about the psychology of colors. Scott Derek,
