I’m currently sick as a dog.
I still have to finish updating on Blissdom – which I’ll get to when I can think.
I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I’ve highlighted a post at Blog Nosh. Take a look!
I never call, I never write… Blah blah blah. I KNOW.
Mainly I’m not writing because I’m trying to stay away from politics until the election is over, and in my personal life, everything is on hold until I actually leave my job, which is looking like not until my “official” leave date of November 21st. Everything else is chugging right along.
Of note recently: My mom is giving me the truck. You know, the one I’ve been driving for the last 5 years? Yeah, she’s finally just signing it over so I’m legally responsible for everything. And for my dad… Oy. I just installed and connected and taught him how to use high speed dsl. So. Hopefully he doesn’t find my blog. But now he can search for old cars on ebay, and his class of 1953, without having to wait forever on dial up. Oh, and my mother can’t yell at him for not being able to use the phone, so there’s that. Trying to explain to him the concept of data transfer over a phone line was… comical.
And finally, one of my picks for Blog Nosh is up. Go check it out.
First – while I went off the deep end a tad bit, my attitude is improved. Nothing’s changed, mind you, but my attitude has improved.
Second – You still have until Monday night to get a free $50 to start your own SmartyPig account!
Third – I’ve decided to turn my social anxiety in a post just for you. Look for my BlogHer 2008 disclaimer, coming soon, and find out about all my foibles and idiosyncrasies ahead of time.
And finally Fourth – I have a new gig. You’ve probably seen it around the blogs lately, and for good reason. You’re looking at an editor at Blog Nosh Magazine.
Megan Jordan had this crazy idea – and has taken it to great heights.
What is Blog Nosh Magazine? We are an online magazine featuring the best archived content from primarily personal blogs, spotlighting a cross-section of topics and perspectives. New posts daily.
For bloggers, if it has fallen off of your front page and you know it deserves more time and exposure, we are your ideal resource. We are in the business of building your audience. As such, we republish your posts in full. Teasers and headlines alone aren’t always enough to tempt new readers, so we give them the opportunity to nosh on your writing in its original form, not just through crumbs that don’t entice much click-through.
For readers, we are a veritable blog buffet. A little bit of this, a little more of that, and lots of treats you never thought you would even want to try, let alone enjoy. We hope you will take the time to read posts in categories and channels that you might never seek out on your own. Most importantly, we ask you to take a moment to click through to the blogs of the authors we spotlight. This site only works if the authors feel they are gaining a real reader, not a random one-time hit. Give them a chance– we’ve already taste-tested them for you!
Take some time to check out our Editors page, grab a button for your own blog’s sidebar (we thrive by your support!), and if you are interested, check out the Publication Guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions page. We are here to serve!
If you’re looking to find me as a co-editor, I’m in the Overcoming Adversity Channel, and Religion & Philosophy. Check it out. A lot of work has gone into this by Megan especially, and all the editors.
