Updating the Blog Roll

I haven’t done this in awhile, and now seems like a good time to introduce you to some blogs that aren’t really new to me but they haven’t been on my every day reads for very long. They were blogs I’d stumble into from somewhere else or when doing a blog search for a piece I was writing (or someone else was writing, which is more often the case.)

They’re now on my every day reads…

101 Things Update

Slow month, but December is like that – right?

– I just finished cleaning both my feed reader and my bookmarks. Seriously deep cleaning on both.
– We saved money this month, odd but it happened.
– That weekend at Isle of Palms thing, I’m hanging onto it because the four days at Folly Beach was not quite what I had in mind for the Isle of Palms weekend. It was close… but I think we can do IoP.
– I’m considering registering for SXSW this week. If I register, I’ll go. The question is… who else is going? That’s really the only thing that has stopped me from registering.

So. Yea. Slow Month.

Sorry. Still Alive. Thanks

I’ve been meaning to blog, really. I have. I was going to blog about the kids and Christmas and the teens at CVS pouring over the articles about Jamie Lynn and I was going to blog about Bhutto but now I’m not.

‘Cause even though The Plague is slowly releasing its hold on me, and I feel tons better – I still feel like crud and I’m wicked busy with work and we’re at the beach in this really fantastic beach house and all of my family is close by, (well except Chris, and he raked leaves at my house yesterday so I’m going to bring him lots of gifts when we go home).

So yea, still alive, thanks for asking. Light blogging at least ’til I get this resolutions post written, projects launched and contracts created. After that, we’ll see.

Photos and video are coming, that I can promise. New camera and loads of Flip Videos to share. Wii Boogie, hysterical to video tape – just sayin…

Sorry. Still Alive. Thanks Read More »

Do you want to be blogged?

Britt Bravo recently blogged some great tips to help convince bloggers to blog your cause. Amber jumped in with a comment about someone who sent her a nasty email when she didn’t blog about his product. (and I teased her about being patient because BlogHer was in the process of blogging about a topic that she really wanted blogged)

And I thought that was the end of me thinking about how to get people to blog about you. Or how you’re treated when you do blog someone after they’ve sent you a link and a link to a press release. Nope that wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning…

Do not send “me” a link to a new blog and a press release about the new blog and then, after “I’ve” blogged it, email me because I did not mention the relationship of the blogger to the company she’s now blogging for. I don’t really care about the company she’s blogging for – I care about the blogger and the topic she’s blogging about. Period. If that isn’t enough for you… go ask someone else to blog you.

(updated to say that my grouchy post has absolutely nothing to do with Amber, it was just a coincidence that Britt blogged the topic, Amber and I sort of discussed it and then… )
