Have a Safe and Happy Halloween

Bloc Party Goes UltraMan!

When is bad good? I recall the visually bad Ultraman invading my TV set as a youngster, admittedly I spent a great deal of time with my "baby sitter" aka the tube! There was UltraMan, Brady Bunch, Mork and Mindy, Lost in Space, Jetsons and much more cheesy television for my viewing pleasure! Yes looking back at these programs they visually were unnatural, strange, cheesy and kinda just ridiculous. Yet what these programs did do were provide an outlet, yes I want to live with Astro and have a button pushing job! Yes I wanted to have a talking robot and super powers to kill the monster invaders! And yes I too want to create worlds of the unknown- better- cooler- leave me with my Legos to create and conquer! The creative juices were flowing, and I was inspired to think outside 'the box' - so with my Lego collection, rocks, leaves, boxes, chairs, you name it, forts were created, backyards converted into lands of the unknown and creatures were being drawn in notebooks with my magical pencil as my weapon of choice!


So what does this all mean? OR why am I taking a trip down memory lane? Well its all due to one of my favorite groups latest single! Oh yeah...Flux is the Bloc Party video that has me skipping down memory lane!

If you're a fan of the group then you'll more than likely dig this latest release. I'm not a 'music expert' nor do I try to pass as one, so to attempt to give this song or video a proper review would be silly. I find this video to be nostalgic; it bought back memories from a work free, bill free and creative time filled period in my life so that in my book is reason enough for me to enjoy this video and recommend it to others!

So if bad old time television brings back happy memories then I suppose thats when bad is good! Thanks to Bloc Party: Flux for a trip down memory lane!

What Kind of Blogger are You?

Ha! Well this site is great- complete with a small badge of honor and all! Whether your a newbie blogger, an expert or somewhat sorta kinda in the middle, take the the 7 question quiz and see what your score is. Needless to say I've posted my badge below- just something fun to post about- plus since it throws in a couple of questions regarding social networks if you don't know about them I highly suggest checking them out. In due time I will blog about my favorite social sites as well, until then check out the quiz-a-roo and enjoy!

Flickr Fun :Duckies go to Vegas

Well this may not exactly be Technical advice or a how to blog post....but it is helpful for those of you who haven't put your flickr account to much use. Not sure what flickr is? Well in a nutshell is where you can browse, upload and share your pictures online- yes for free- upgrade to pro if you feel you just can't get enough!

Since I myself find Flickr helpful when seeking visual inspiration, a reason to seek a chuckle or actually for my own photo storage (which I will be sharing shortly) I figured I should start highlighting other peoples public accounts which I find funny, interesting, beautiful or whatever the pictures portray.

So for my First Flickr Fun Set I preset to you Digicolleens- Ducky in Vegas! Seriously Cute and humorous. It makes me think.... what can I do with donkey? hhhmmmm we shall see :)

Do You Use Logic or Feelings?

Are you more of a logical, detailed oriented, perhaps a huge FACTS based type of person?

Or would you classify yourself as more of a feeling, imaginative, 'big picture' oriented person?
Well here is a fun way to gauge what you are...its the difference between the right brain vs the left brain. How exactly the theory is proved by a simple test as this - I'm not sure, but it is fun! I know when my friends replied with their answers some were dead set on it not turning the other way and vice versa!

So just a fun type of test to see if you're a Righty or Left Brainiac!



Check out the test and feel free to comment or pass it on!

Money Can't Buy You Happiness...

How Anyone can Make Money Blogging!

People keep asking but how can I make money blogging? What can I write about? What do I know about Blog stuff! Well the answer is simple!

In order for you to blog and find stuff to blog about- write what YOU know about!

1. If your a mommy, write about being a mommy! There are plenty of mommy-to-be women who may not know the first thing about what you've mastered! There are a number of topics Moms can blog about! Moms are masters in "how to" or "what if" scenarios plus the creativity involved in everyday simple tasks- I'm sure readership wouldn't be hard to come by!
   
2. If you're an Accountant blog about tips, tools, overlooked items people don't know about! Your on the "inside" so share common information you know that commoners don't know about!
   
3. If you're a college student write about the "Real" college experience! Thoughts about classes, teachers, assignments, campus life! Many would be students may be looking for an insiders voice!

Same can be said for a million other status, careers and hobbies! Write what you know or what you'd like to become an expert in! Share your thoughts and then some networking can help as well (I'll blog about that later).

Then when your ready to blog, simply incorporate some ads into your blog! You will get paid by advertisers based on click thrus (number of times a person clicks the ad) and/or page impressions (the amount of page-views your blog receives).

Advertising you can incorporate into your blog:

• Google Adsense (if you use blogger the work is almost all done for you)
• Adbrite (free inclusion in their directory, plus monetize videos and pictures as well)
• Text Link Ads (full editorial control over what ads will go on your site)
• Blog Ads ( Invitation only and requires an "in" email for info on sponsor availability )

(Don't be afraid of how to add this code into your blog! For the most part its simply copy and past OR they have tutorials made easy! Also a simple email can help if still in doubt.)


This is the simplest method to start earning revenue on your blog! There are a ton of other affiliate/advertising programs out there. I will write & review many more in due time but for now I believe that is a great place to get started with familiarizing yourself with ads and different type of programs available for you to start earning money with your blog.
