I know that acknowledging and responding to comments left on your blog is very important and am hoping to have some light shed on the best way to handle this aspect of blogging. A friend recently mentioned that she rarely goes back to a post’s comments and only occasionally subscribes to them, so she doesn’t [...]

I have been thinking about the questions of why I started blogging and what my goals are, and one thing I know is that I was drawn to it by a group of women who are or have been members of the moms’ group at my church. I have not been a regular MIA attendee [...]

I added the new Blogger blogroll to my site tonight, and it is pretty cool! I found out about it on Google Operating Systems, which is an unofficial blog with news and tips about Google. I clicked on the link that said Blogger in Draft and from there was able to access the new blogroll [...]

I don’t know about you, but I found the Ultimate Blog Party to be just a little overwhelming. I only managed to visit about 100 of the 1499 blogs, partly because I am still new to all the ins and outs of blogging, and partly because the entire week was also taken up by various [...]

I will post some book reviews soon of what I am reading now, but in the meantime I wanted to share this awesome website I found recently called Shelfari. It is a site where you can catalog all of the books you have read or plan to read – you can tag them with whatever [...]

A Slightly Updated Look

February 10, 2008 3 comments

I have been learning so many new things about blogging since I began this adventure and decided I wanted a 3rd column to separate links to websites and stuff like that from blog-related items. So after looking at all the online templates I could find, I realized I kind of like the simple one I [...]

Okay, not that I need something else to become addicted to, but a friend at work just clued me into Pandora and I am completely hooked! You just type in the name of a musical artist, album or song that you like and it plays that music plus similar songs from what is called the [...]
