Rockin’ Girl Bloggers Part Deaux

Posted on June 30th, 2007 in Rockin' Girl Bloggers | 30 Comments »

I think I’ve said that I didn’t expect this to go in the direction that it has. I thought I’d nominate some rockin’ girls out there and they’d think, Oh God, not another meme. It wasn’t supposed to be thought of as a meme in the first place and I never thought it would get this big…but I’m glad the idea has grown :D

Some of you ladies have have taken it to the next level and nominated others who you’ve thought was inspirational, funny, kind, or sweet. Or maybe you’ve went out of your way to find out who started all of it. Either which way, you’re here, and there was a reason for it, you rock!

Well, what started out as something relatively small (to me) has turned into a huge monster… :D The Rockin’ Girl Bloggers have spoken!

I just Googled the term Rockin’ Girl Blogger and the results are really phenomenal. What I’m going to do is make up an entire list of lady bloggers who have been nominated for this badge and link to all of them. If you want to be on the original list, grab the badge and blog about it, lastly, tag five more wonderful women bloggers. Link back to me if you wish to be included!! Then we just pay homage to all of the Rockin’ Girl Bloggers out there by re-posting the list :)

Why networks work

Posted on June 28th, 2007 in Blogging | 2 Comments »

Blog networks are a hub of the internet community. They are a collective group of bloggers blogging about the same topics. If you want to get your Technorati ranking up, then this is a viable choice for you. Networking in this fashion generally brings in a ton of links to your blog. Others will link to you, and in turn, your backlinks will grow.

Is it for you? Blogging in a network usually means that the network administrator will bring in the advertisers, and you’ll get a cut. All you’ll have to do is write the content. If the content is compelling enough, then readers will read and the advertisers will love you. So will your readers. It’s a “one hand washes the other” type of thing going on with these networks. It’s a cycle. The admin gets the advertisers, you get the traffic to the ads, you get paid.

So, there’s a good way to make money online. Would you consider joining a network? Why?

Free ReviewMe at CashForComments!

Posted on June 27th, 2007 in Networking | 2 Comments »

I found this blog site through MsDanielle’s blog, which is pretty nifty. Mr. P is running a free ReviewMe at CashForComments, for posting five comments on his blog. This is an innovative idea, because it encourages people to come on over to his blog and comment.

After you’ve done your five comments, he gives you a 100-word review of your blog. I did this to figure out what I could change to make this blog better, and get some feedback. After the free ReviewMe is up, he’ll head back over to your blog and post five legitimate comments.

Thanks Mr. P! :D What a great idea, I wish I would’ve thought of this first..hehe

This baby’s 1 month old!

Posted on June 26th, 2007 in Blogging | 8 Comments »

While still in infancy, this blog is definitely coming along nicely. So far, so good, right?

So, I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for reading my stuff. It means the most to me as a blogger, to be read. I appreciate all of the comments and feedback. I appreciate all of the emails and the kind words.

Here is my crappy at-work MS paint way of sayin’ thanks for stickin’ around :D

PS. I can’t count (blonde moment), this blog is actually only one month old…doh! :D
Not too shabby to have 93 posts in one month, though, eh?

Do you LOL on your blog?

Posted on June 26th, 2007 in Blogging | 10 Comments »

Just a little question that I was wondering recently. When I started blogging, I was told that there is no “LOL”. I asked what if the post made me laugh? Then what?

So, this brought me to wonder, are there any of you that write LOL or ROFL in your postings? Obviously, the answer is clear about my blog. I just did it, twice.

Another question, is it unprofessional to :D or :) in postings? It’s my personal blog and I can do whatever I want, but I wanted more opinions on it.

What do you think?
