I Want to Win This

In early 2009, I attended BlissDom. This conference is everything I wanted in a conference. It’s smaller and more intimate than the other conferences I’ve attended, BlogHer and SXSW. I had a ton of fun. Considering my hatred of crowds, and my insecurities, it was fabulous. Whenever the people got to be too much, I was able to escape to my room and come back when I was ready. I talked to people. I had fun at their extras, like the pajama movie party. I wanted to go back this year, but our finances didn’t allow it. My finances don’t allow it for 2011 either, but I’m entering a contest. The grand prize – a full trip, airfare, conference, and hotel. I might can swing food and airport transportation. I am definitely entering. I doubt I’ll win – but the sure way not to is to not enter!  Do you want to enter?  No, you totally don’t, so I have a better chance to win, but I’ll give you the information anyway.  I’m a member of the One2One Network, the folks holding the contest – so you have to be a member to enter.  But that’s an easy and rewarding thing to do.

Some Less Depressing Stuff

<shameless self promotion>

After that incredibly dreary post, here’s an update on the other stuff I’m doing around the web…

As always, I write at the Fun and Function blog.

I have a card giveaway going over at Butterviews.

There’s a deal posted at Butterviews for Crystal Essence products.

And I have a fledgling business blog to go along with my business website.

Quick Reminder

Quick reminder – CD Giveaway ends tomorrow!

Giveaway Nudge

Just a quick jot to let you know I’ve got a giveaway going at Butterviews! Enter over there, not here!

Giveaway Reminder!

*I’m still working on the site redesign – so that’s where my blogging time is going at the moment. Can’t be helped. I’m not a designer or a coder, so I’m doing bits at a time all by myself. Like the header? ALL BY MY LONESOME! You haven’t any idea how much swearing was involved.

The last day to enter the Capri-Sun Sunrise $250 Visa Giftcard Giveaway on Butterviews is tomorrow! I won’t be taking comments after Midnight 7/9 Pacific, so be sure to get your entry in. Oh, and don’t comment here for the giveaway – it won’t count. But anything else is A-OK.

Monday Updates

So, it’s Monday, which means it’s time to update you on ME around the web.

You already know about this one. But I’m mentioning it anyway because HELLO! I was on CNN.

Article up at Special Needs Bliss, Advocate – Enough Said. A bit of a rant, cleaned up for non-personal blogness.

Another article up at Special Needs Bliss, How to Find Special Needs Programs.

The $250 Giftcard Giveaway for Capri-Sun Sunrise is still going strong over at Butterviews! The deadline isn’t until July, so be sure to enter if you haven’t already.

$250 Visa Card Giveaway

Hi all – just a quick blurb… To send you somewhere else. Capri-Sun Sunrise is giving away a $250 giftcard on my review site. So don’t enter here! Click over to the entry to enter. You’ll have to work in your comment. I want to know your morning “issues.” And Good Luck!

New Game in Town

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.

Giveaway

Just a little heads up…  If you were ever interested in Smarty Pig, I’m giving away $50 to start your own account!

We Have a winner!
