Today as I was going through some Twitter links that I open in tabs on Firefox, I came across a post that someone had sent me written on Mashable.  I immediately saw a difference in the way the blog looked and read and the overall scheme.  I thought I was reading it through a weird [...]

While searching for other blog posts about the recent hubub over the hypothetical possibility of Oprah Keynoting BlogWorld this year, I came across another post that stunned me and brought a whole new perspective to Kutcher’s million Twitter follower quest that I hadn’t considered before.
Blogger Clement Nthambazale Nyirenda has a post accusing Kutcher of exploiting [...]

Social Media Shrinks the Planet and Enlarges Our Lives

Social Media has so many facets; it’s impossible to cover them all in any one blog post, or even any one BOOK.  Yes, we make friends online.  Yes, we run businesses online.  Yes, we ask and get advice online.  Yes, we make purchases online.  The list goes on and on.
For me, personally, one of the [...]

The Parenting Blogosphere: A REAL Reality Show in Progress

There are TONS of parents in the Blogosphere, and none of them knows everything about rearing children.
(One raises alfalfa; one rears children.  Semantics, semantics, semantics. . . .)
However, we all know SOMEthing about rearing children, and if you put all of the “somethings” together, we just might have everything.  Maybe.
It’s not just parents with young [...]

REAL Bloggers KNOW. We Just. . . KNOW.

When I first started blogging back in 2004, a lot of others started right about the same time.  A lot of those people aren’t around any more, but those who are?  Most of them are my friends.  We’re friends for many reasons, and when I say that we are “friends,” what I am actually saying [...]

I think sometimes that if there had been blogs when I was raising my children, I might not have made quite as many mistakes.
Often, during those years, I felt very isolated.  I was sure that nobody else was feeling the same emotions, having the same problems, trying and failing at so many things, when it [...]

Blog World Expo excites me.  It thrills me.  Blog World Expo is like the culmination of bloggerhood fantasies: the coming together of people who know each other quite well, often so well that we could order for each other in a restaurant, or pick out shoes for each other.  We know all about their jobs.  [...]
