This week, I’m feeling an Arctic chill of frigidity with all these smart, icy cool articles! I am running a little late on this weeks batch; it’s hard to type with a frozen keyboard. Put on your thickest jacket, have a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy this week’s frosty treats!
- The CommentLuv Kid, Andy Bailey is having a great contest! Contest – Win a set of ipod portable speakers from iMaingo. You cannot beat that! He is offering a great deal even if you don’t win; Buy iMaingo iPod speakers with FiddyP UK postage and packing direct from FiddyP.co.uk. I support Andy, he’s a great guy!
- This week, I have to give my friend Rolando a standing ovation for his efforts. He is taking his new blog in a great direction, writing some fantastic posts. He has an insightful series called The Dangers of Blogging. I give him 3 links this round!
1. The Dangers of Blogging – Crime
2. The Dangers of Blogging – Health
3. The Dangers of Blogging – Relationships
- Time and time again, I’ve found the best blogs from a friend’s recommendation. My friend Square1 told me to check out Terry Heath.com, a great blog and very skilled writer. Terry has joined in the “You Comment, I Reply movement”! His post, Infuse Your Reports, Articles, and Blog Posts With Moments of Being, shows by example the meaning of it (very creatively). I highly recommend everyone read this fine work.
- Just so you all know, the “You Comment, I Reply Movement” was started by 3 great bloggers (along with being fine human beings):
Brown Baron – Brown Thoughts
Mark – MeAndMyDrum
Mike – Things By Mike
These 3 guys came up with this spectacular idea, and it is at the very heart of blogging. Be sure to visit them, you’ll be glad you did!
- Square1 wrote the stormy cool, A Terrible Admission, an honest look at todays politics and upcoming presidential election. Like her, I am still undecided on who I will vote for; I must say it will not be a republican!
- I praise the Sugar Queen, Judy, for starting another blog “The Downside of Up” that takes on more serious issues. She lets her readers take a very personal look into her life, and shares her wisdom. Her post entitled Opening Up, is about the signs of child abuse – from her real life experience. It’s not only important for parents to read, but for everyone.
- Nafasg has a fantastic post, The Art of Keeping Yourself Optimistic. I’ve struggled with depression all my life, and still am. This article offers great points we can relate to – both easy to understand and enjoyable!
- Dcr Blogs has a very cool post, Make Money With Britney Spears. Don’t let the title fool you, there is an important message in there along with personal insight. A very interesting article!
- Aaron Cook wrote an effective, concise article, Make Money – Online Money Makers That Work. With so much confusion on money making information out there, this very easy to understand. This is also great for new bloggers needing some solid guidance!
- My blogging buddy Marzie has been using the Google Blogspot format; she is tempted to buy her own domain and go with Wordpress – but she is Scared To Switch! If you have some good advice for her, stop by and let her know!
- The ‘Oprah’ of blogging, Christy, wrote I Love Kiva.org – Find Out Why. This is a great humanitarian effort. With so much importance many of us place on ourselves, this is a great way to help change people’s lives!
- Mel from Monday Morning Power has created the blogosphere’s newest monster meme The Big Bang. I have yet to participate, but still may. If you’re interested in gaining a thousand links to your homepage (you can use your chosen keyword for anchor text if you like), this is for you. It has massive participation and will boost your ranking!
- My buddies Diana and Simonne have teamed up and created a new blog! They have a solid vision with EzMoneyOn.Net – Make Money Online. They are on a mission to show you how, step by step, in a way you can actually understand!

Thank you for the nod, once again, Bobby. I think I may take the advice of your previous post. Yesterday I did my first “Muse Approved Posts”. I’m not sure which day I’ll establish for this yet, but I’ll settle on one soon.

This site costs me around $100.00 per year to run, which is paid for by mostly by the little bit of advertising I have. It wouldn’t be a bad decision to go ahead an purchase a hosting plan, you can mess around with it for a while before you actually start posting.
I may do the big bang, but I believe all this “mindless linking for the sake of linking” stuff will soon force Google, Technorati and others to severely punish sites for doing it. I guess the “appearance” of success has become unimportant to me. I still haven’t decided

Thanks a lot for the link and for the presentation. We will try to keep the readers interest awake.

I know your post wasn’t “about” the photo, but I’m sure glad I saw it: I recently moved to California from New York, and already I’m spoiled weather-wise. That photo made me realize how good I’ve got it! Oh, that freezing rain! You can keep it!

Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the “Big Bang” mention. I hope you do join, but I also understand your reticence, as per your prior comments.

Yes it’s a good thing! I wish Oprah would endorse my site, I’d be the king of the web
I’m going to join Kiva too, but I’m in the middle of a site redesign that’s driving me insane

Yes it is about the photo…I am using a rare method of indirect, transcendental psycho-expression. If you could understand how to perceive the picture’s meaning, you would be BLOWN AWAY

Thanks Bobby! It’s nice of you to remember and mention that. Even to this day, I continue to get notified of someone saying they’ve joined this idea.

Thanks a ton for the link love, Bobby! Somehow I apparently missed this post up until just now. Shame on me, I know. But hey, better late than never, eh?
A million Internets to you, my friend.
Shine on,
