Who is Blifaloo?
Blifaloo is about you -- our visitor. Just kidding... Blifaloo is me, Toni.
A short history of Blifaloo.com:
Once upon a time I was a freelance designer and aspiring web marketer... I created 100's of commercial websites for clients, and ran a few e-commerce sites of my own. Blifaloo was created as a place where I could escape from the commercial BS I was immersed in, and share my hobbies, interests and doodles (and also a place to play arcade games without pop-up ads getting in the way).
I only shared the URL with a few friends, and never tried to promote this site with link exchanges, directory submissions, SEO or any of the other methods I implemented in all websites I created previously.
Blifaloo's traffic magically soared, and was even featured on the BBC's international TV show "Click Online".
Fast forward to now: Blifaloo.com receives almost 10,000 visitors a day, and has become my main project. I quit my job & freelancing to work on improving this site.
The future of Blifaloo: Whatever I'm interested in at the moment is what you will see, and will be added to the site.

I lied.. Blifaloo is not just about me. I am fortunate to have met a few good people to contribute their talents to this site:
Ariel Lehrer
Having realized that corporate America had reached its absolute critical mass and that one more drone may cause a chain of irreversible nuclear reactions, I left the continent to pursue my compulsion as a freelance writer and live a quiet and peaceful life in the Middle East. My former professions include but are not limited to; window washer, private investigator, legal assistant, publisher, editor, and salesperson. If I can stay on schedule, I can cram a few more lifetimes into this one before I am done.
Education: BA in Literature and Language with an emphasis on writing as a profession.
Interests: Educating myself and others and alleviating poverty
Location: Jerusalem
Family status: I am married (second husband) and have three children, Abby 21, Craig 23, and Dylan 25
