Blog Business- Or, Because I'm Just Really Forgetful

Friday, July 18, 2008

Hello! A few things I've been meaning to discuss:

1. For those of you who are oh so kind as to have me on your blogroll, first Thank You! and if you can pretty please with sugar on top make sure you have my new blog name? I keep meaning to ask you individually, but then forget because I'm sure I have adult ADD. Thanks, love you, mean it!

2. If you are participating in the next Bloggy Carnival Giveaway and have solicited your own sponsors, can you please let me know? I wrote a letter and I'm not getting the response I'd hoped for. I'd love to pick your brain. Thanks!

3. For those of you who use Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer (and Sitemeter tells me there are plenty), this site doesn't look the way I designed it to. It's got three columns, not two. The stuff you don't see (like my reading list, favorite posts, etc) is all the way at the bottom of the page. I have no idea how to fix this. If someone can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

4. On the very bottom of this page I have buttons taking you to The Greater Good network of sites where you click to donate towards mammograms, food, books, healthcare, the rainforest and animal rescue. It literally takes seconds to go through each site. When you remember, please click when you come here to comment. Mwah!

5. There's a great lineup of speakers at BlogHerNot. Mommy Pie is such a gracious hostess and I hear there's swag! Drunken debauchery to commence soon, hurry!

6. I'm late with my 100 Things About Me post. Sue me.

7. Plane Jane Mom posted her cell phone number so those not going to BlogHer can call her for updates. Seriously. I'm so calling.

Hopefully he realizes his "higher purpose"

"Church" and "gun giveaway" shouldn't be in the same sentence

I can't think of anything snarky to say. That poor, poor man.

From AOL News:
A man rides naked but for his sneakers down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington during the World Naked Bike Ride, June 7. The event was intended to draw attention to oil dependency and the negative social and environmental impacts of a car-dominated culture.
