Review – Blingo

May 23, 2006 By Michele Leave a Comment

Blingo

Blingo is a search site with a twist. People who use Blingo for their searching needs have the chance to win randomly issued prizes (and so does the person who registered you). In addition, they are powered by Google, so you may as well use Blingo instead, where you may win something! Plus unlike some search sites I’ve used in the past, when you use them, you’re not inundated with ads, popups, and blinkie things, which in my opinion, always makes it more difficult to find what you’re looking for – the information you were trying to find in the first place.

Go! Use them! And win stuff! We like stuff…

Review – Club Mom

May 23, 2006 By Michele Leave a Comment



One of my affiliates is Club Mom. There are quite a few reasons that I use it and like it. There is the obvious – great articles on mom stuff, from child rearing, to tips for the workplace.

BUT – the real reason I love them is they give moms of all kinds a chance to shine. They have expert moms on all kinds of aspects of motherhood. They showcase the amazing amalah. I heart amalah. In short, they give moms who have found a place in these here innernets a wonderful place to put their hearts and minds out for the world to see. They’re intelligent, witty, and have smart things to say.

Hence Club Mom. Go there.

Fleas suck. They are everywhere. We’re trying everything we can to get rid of them and they’re eating me alive. Poor Sassy [trying to decide if she should be referred to as TDC (that damn cat) from now on] fell out a window and into THE GREAT BEYOND when the screening broke. She apparently came home with freeloaders who don’t pay the rent.

Today? We need to do the rugs in the kids room, and wash all the bedding the house. Gross – just gross.

My View on Ads & Affiliations

May 23, 2006 By Michele 2 Comments

When I first started journaling online in about 1994-1995 (and no, my archives don’t go back that far… I lost about 5 years worth in a great big computer crash that taught me the wisdom of the words “back up”) advertising in my journal would have been forbotten. I’ve changed my mind about that. I see no problem with targeted ads and affiliation links now. So – no comments about selling out, please. Here are my own personal guidelines for advertising on my site…

They must be somehow related to me – not to my site – to me. My interests, or insights, or something I use.
I must like it.
I must use it.
I must do a review of the product or service and how it pertains to my life.

So – if I make a little money to pay for my hosting and MT and all that? So be it! I’ve created a place here for myself, and I intend to use it.

and away we go…

So. We’re up and running! I am, however, way behind on my archive uploading. I could, with MT, do an import, but with all the coding I would have to do anyway, it’s really as much work to do entry by entry. So, I’m still working on that and the other things I want to add to the site.

I haven’t talked to Stacey since Thursday. I’m sort of a slave to her schedule at the moment, and that’s okay. But I worry about her when I don’t hear from her in a while. She’s got a lot on her plate.
