Morgan Won Me a T-Shirt

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I received more good news whilst away on vacation last week. Christy from the Christy’s Coffee Break blog announced the three winners of her Funny Picture Contest. I’m pleased to say that Morgan’s cuteness nudged me into the top 3 and won me a t-shirt courtesy of Wicked Vintage Tees. Now I just have to […]

It’s been a while since the last one, but I’ve been tagged again by GO! Smell the flowers - a great blog written by a couple who left their jobs, took career breaks and travelled to some of the places they only hoped to see ‘one day’.
The rules of tagging are that each blogger starts […]

In my never ending quest to drive extra traffic to this site, I found a great post over at the “Make Money Online The Quick and Easy Way!” blog today called Want To Get Faved?

Just installed a WordPress Plugin that should hopefully allow visitors to edit post comments and/or name and web site.
From the Reader Appreciation Project: “WP Ajax Edit Comments (for WP 2.1+) allows users and admins alike to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a period specified by the admin, and […]

What happened to my Technorati Rank?

Friday, June 1st, 2007

A common question on some of the blogging forums and community sites at the moment seems to be “What happened to my Technorati Rank?”
Technorati recently went through quite a thorough redesign which apparently took 6 months to accomplish. Some of the terminology changed (favorites to fans for example) and features were rearranged to give the […]
