June 12, 2008

I also got around to creating a page about this site. I’m on a roll!

Site Update: About Me

June 10, 2008

Finally got around to updating my “About Me” page. It will no doubt go through many tweaks and changes, but it’s a start!

Fun Stuff Around The Web

February 28, 2008

I read a lot of blogs each day through Google Reader. It’s a great way to get exposure to different areas of the world, different types of people, and stuff on the web as well. The following are some interesting sites/things that I’ve found through my blog reader this week:

Not Martha has a tutorial about how to make these awesome bacon cups. I think these would make the cutest appetizers for a party.

Lifehacker has information on how to make your own wrinkle releaser. This is great because although wrinkle releaser rocks, it can get to be costly.

Fontifier is a site I’ve been seeing ALL over the web this week. It’s a site that makes a font out of your handwriting for only $9. I’ve even made my own handwriting font (so easy), just not purchased it yet (a couple of letters I want to change).

A new blog find, How About Orange, has some awesome crafty images and links.

Stuff White People Like - Just as it’s said. Might be a bit offensive to some, but humorous nonetheless.

Also, I’ve recently updated my links page. The links are in no particular order, primarily because I can’t figure how to put them in a particular order. If I’ve missed your link, shoot me a note! :-)

Updating the Sites to See

February 11, 2008

So many sites have switched around since I last updated my Sites to See that I need to do a new version. If you’d like to be part of the Sites to See, please comment on this post with your URL. Thanks!

Don’t Mind The Mess

Just playing around with some different blog themes until I find the perfect one. Thanks!

Wordpress Plugin Review - Comment Email Responder

November 27, 2007

One of my favorite things about using Wordpress as my blogging tool (besides that is free) is that anyone can make a plugin to make service work in just the way you need. I use many different plugins on this site, but today I want to write about one that I’ve been looking for, for months now.

 I’m an avid believer in comments as part of the blogging world. I love to get ‘em and leave ‘em. One of the things I don’t love about blogging vs. using a site such as LiveJournal or Vox is that most of the time people don’t get any of the responses I might right back to their comment. I know most of the time I don’t check back to see if anyone has written back when I comment on a blog. The Comment Email Responder fixes that here on this site.

 Now, when you leave a comment and I respond to it, you should get an email letting you know what I responded. I wish all websites had this feature, since I think it really opens things up for dialogue.

Anyways, I’ve tested this plugin on a comment I wrote and it worked great for me. If you run Wordpress on your site, maybe this plugin is what you’re looking for as well?

 

* I have no affilation with the person who created this plugin or his site. I’m just very excited to have this plugin that I’ve been wanting for so long.

Just Make Money Online Contest

November 26, 2007
One new (to me) site that I’ve been reading more and more of lately is Just Make Money Online. It has a lot of tips of ways to add money making avenues to your website. I’m always interested in these types of tips since running a website isn’t free and, let’s face it, it’s always nice to have an extra bit of spending money now and then.
Recently Shai posted about a contest that she is holding on Just Make Money Online. To enter the contest, contestants have to write about what they would do if they had $25. This got me to thinking.. what would I do if I had $25 to use on my website? I, thankfully, already have hosting. I’m not interested in doing the Google advertising sales for the site right now. What have I wanted to do that I’m putting off until I have extra $$ to invest? Then it dawned on me. Something that I’ve been wanting for quite awhile now. Business cards. I’ve been wanting to create business cards for the site/brand for awhile now. Something to share with friends/family when I’m talking about my work on my site. Something tangible that they can take home to remember to visit my site.
Why haven’t I worked on business cards yet? Well, it takes money. And I’m looking for something creative, so I’m still brainstorming and looking for places to print up these cards. I think the $25 I could potentially win would be a great start to having Aforementioned Thoughts business cards. Maybe cute little mini Moo cards. Maybe something even more creative. But fun nonetheless.
