Thinking Outloud

One of my friends that I helped getting started on blogging has been enjoying herself so much that she started another blog. When I first started blogging, I used to tell her about how much fun and enjoyment I was getting out of blogging that she finally decided to take the plunge and start a blog of her own. Well it wasn’t too long before the blogging bug hit her and she was totally addicted to blogging. So along with the first blog that she started she has started another one over at Jabber Jaws.

I invite you all to pop on over to her newest site to see what all the “Jabbering is all about” and be sure to tell her that Kim sent ya!

As most of you are aware, over the past few days I have been doing some reviews for fellow bloggers. I have to tell you that I’ve been having a blast discover different blogs and I hope you have enjoyed reading some of the blogs that I have found. Well there are a few more blogs that I’ve just recently discovered that I have found interesting and I would like to share these with you as well.

When most people set up a blog, they usually go with a personal blog of some sort. And that’s great. But, it’s always nice to find something different. And I have found something different over at Engagement Ring Questions?. This blog displays all kinds of interesting facts about engagement rings. Everything and anything you need to know about engagement rings and the purchasing of them can be found at this blog. It’s a very unique blog and I’m sure you will find it as fascinating as I have.

Another interesting blog that I just happened to come across can be found over at MyMac. This blog is completely devoted to information regarding Macs. They have everything listed in this blog that you need to know about macs. Their information is really easy to understand and their site is very user friendly. For a person who doesn’t know a whole lot about macs, I found this site to be extremely fascinating.

The final blog I would like to share with you today can be found over at InTheText. This blog focuses on higher education, particularly as it pertains to students in the humanities–English majors, philosophy majors, creative writing majors and art majors. They go into great detail all about the higher education programs and give you expert advice on how to obtain a higher level of education. This blog is a great find for anyone who is considering going back to school to increase their education.

These are the blogs that I have found to be quite entertaining and informative. I have enjoyed reading these blogs and reviewing them and I hope you have enjoyed the experience as well. I welcome you all to drop by again in the near future, when I have a chance to share more interesting blogs with you.

There is a constant debate going on between blogger on which is better. Having your blog on a free host or paying for your host. I personally think that paid hosting is the way to go if your serious about blogging. Not only do you have the opportunity to customize your blog to suit you own individual tastes, but by being on a paid host there are so many free plugins that you can obtain to make your blog more user friendly. Over at the Make money online blog you can discover which plugins are good for your site and why.

Not only do they discuss plugins, but over at Make money online they discuss a wide variety of topics on how to turn your blog into a money making machine. Or if you’re not interested in making money off your blogs and would like to discover other money making opportunities, they discuss these as well.

How many times in the run of one’s life do we sit back and take stalk of our lives? Sometimes we are quite happy with our reflections but other times not so much and would like to make some changes. After dropping into the Compassionate Council blog it really got me to thinking about self reflection and on possible ways that I could improve my life and myself.

This is what this blog will do, it will make you take stalk of your life. This blog is unique in the fact that not only will the Compassionate Council help you to take a long hard look at oneself, but they also offer their own unique insight into self discovery. I must say that if your looking for an inspirational reading experience, this would be the blog to check out.

Healthy living is in and there are so many people out there now that practice the healthy lifestyle of being a vegetarian. Although I’m not a vegetarian myself, I do like to eat healthy and like to encourage my children to eat healthy. So, it came as no surprise to me when my daughter told me she wanted to become a vegetarian. She rarely ate meat anyway, but this announcement means that she has no desire to eat it anymore at all. So, I have been looking for sites and blogs on the Internet to help her adjust to this lifestyle. One blog that I have found is an excellent source of information for all vegetarians.

Over at Groovy Vegetarian you will find tons of advice, news and links to help anyone get started on the vegetarian lifestyle or to keep them on track with it. This site has a wealth of information and is extremely easy to understand. So, if you are currently a vegetarian or you have the desire to become one and would like to find out all you can about becoming a vegetarian, then I would highly suggest you drop by this site and discover all there is to discover about the vegetarian lifestyle.

I have to tell you guys that one of the things I like best about being a blogger is the many different communities that are available for bloggers to get involved with. I’m involved in quite a few and one of the reasons why I enjoy being a part of the communities is that I get to meet other people and have an opportunity to read their blogs and learn all about them. One blog that I frequently visit is Marisa’s blog. She has two of them, but my absolute favorite one to stop in and visit is over at mydandelionpatch. She is another mommy blogger, but is also a grammie blogger. (you’d never know this) Having kids of my own, I tend to spend a lot of time at blogs of other mom’s and Marisa’s blog is one of my favorites because she tells it like it is and I can relate to almost anything she posts.

She is extremely passionate about her life with her family, and any mother can relate to that. So if you enjoy reading about other peoples experiences with their families, then I would highly recommend that you drop by Marissa’s blog and see what her and her family are up to today.

Gotta tell you all that this Internet business can get quite confusing and exasperating! Let me tell you of my latest adventure. Recently a blog of mine was accepted into a program but to participate in this program I needed to install a plugin from their site. I thought how hard can this be and tried to install it. Well for a computer nerd like myself, it was extremely difficult. After messing with it for a couple of days on my own, I needed to call in some re-inforcements. So, I sent out a plea for some help and Cynthia came to my rescue.

Well I gotta tell you that if this lady hadn’t come to my rescue, the frustration I was starting to feel would have probably put me in the nut house. I never thought anything could drive me crazier than my kids (lol), but the computer won this contest hands down. After many, many e-mails back and forth Cynthia put me on the right track. At one point I had my site so messed up that I was getting the dreaded “404″ error that it wasn’t even in the system. But thanks to her generosity of time and her over abundance of patience it got all sorted out.

So, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU!! to Cynthia and to beg her to never ever leave me alone with my computer again.
