Did You Update Your Blog Today?

[bsolah]

Just got back from a political conference in Melbourne, so I need to get back to posting.

[NatJM]

I started my blog Food for your mind in late January and have totalled 98 posts since, so that's about one post a day. Some days i post 2, other days i post none, but i try to be pretty regular.

This morning, i started a new blog, which is an extension of my online radio station, this is a blog with music reviews. My aim is to post 5 reviews a week, let's see how it goes ;)

[Leah J. Utas]

I served notice that I'm not putting up with negative people any longer.

[aka eraser]

I took my camera fishing with me and invited you folks along.

Dawno will be happy because my previous post bummed her out. ;)

[bsolah]

I've started a campaign to Blog Against War and Racism (http://flbu.wordpress.com/2007/04/03/blog-against-war-and-racism/) through the FLBU (http://www.flbu.wordpress.com/) and posted my own statement on my own blog (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=382). If you're against War and Racism, you should join the campaign too and help spread the word.

[Leah J. Utas]

Posted my 10 Simply Successful Secrets.

[annie.rushden]

I posted about getting involved in activism.

[Thomma Lyn]

I posted about thirteen of my favorite female characters in fiction.

[swvaughn]

Yea, verily I did, with my most fun-a-licious news. :D

I also posted yesterday and mocked Tony Cowell. Today Tony Cowell commented on yesterday's post. Oops...

(I posted the full, humiliating story in the Roundtable. Good for a chuckle at my expense. :D)

[Lyra Jean]

I posted about a group who wants to see Mars colonization possible through any means. Mostly by not waiting for the government to do something but doing it through private means.

[Writer2011]

I started my very first blog today... :) I am sooo very proud.

[bunnygirl]

I added an outtake from a WIP to my Writings blog tonight, and last night I added some thoughts about maybe starting another fiction blog.

On my main blog, I posted about a new coffee product I have on order, with a link to the website. A product review will be forthcoming, once I actually have the product. Just call me a guinea pig, making brave coffee-tasting sacrifices for the benefit of humanity!

[NatJM]

Yesterday, i posted part 4 in my series "play the guitar" beginner lessons.

[bsolah]

No posting here, and it looks like my blog campaign against War and Racism didn't take off. Meh.

[Zonk]

Updated my blog.

Improbable term: American Idolaters.

:D:D:D

[annie.rushden]

Yup, almost didn't tonight, but then just shared some random silly and serious thoughts. I didn't work on my manuscript tonight though. Bad me.

[NatJM]

I've added an album review to my music blog (http://www.newmusicreviews.org) :)

[Leah J. Utas]

I blogged about coffee.

[NatJM]

I've written a post titled "do you create for yourself or for others", and i've blogged about why i think Pink is a feminist :)

Oh, and i've blogged on my MySpace blog, but it was only to announce a competition, not a proper blog post.

A day off work does wonders for my blogging :D

[bsolah]

I've changed the font size on my blog to make it a little rounder.

[agentkgb]

I blogged about Washington passing a bill to prohibit compliance with the REAL ID Act as it is now.

[bsolah]

There's been a new post to the Far-Left Bloggers Union (http://flbu.wordpress.com) by one of the other writers. It's good to see it taking off again, slowly.

[scarletpeaches]

I posted a couple of times today.

[MMcC]

Yes, I posted. I found the old Jill of the Jungle game online and had to share:

http://christineolinger.blogspot.com

[bsolah]

I posted (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=383) about David Hicks and Guantanamo Bay again.

[bunnygirl]

I've got a pic of my Easter Bunny on my main blog!

[Dawno]

Glad to see folks here keeping us up to date on their new posts - I've posted the last couple of days and forgot to mention it...might even post again later today!

[bsolah]

I posted about a radio shockjock getting labelled the racist that he is.

[Talia]

i posted about how dieting doesn't work on my main blog and some updates on celeb goss for my NZ reality TV blog (I only started that 24 hours ago)

[Talia]

I've loaded these on my new blog (NZ Reality TV) but I'm still waiting for them to show on my website

Is anyone else using them? How are they working so far?

[badducky]

For the record, I update daily, except when I don't.

When I don't, I will give a reason.

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about asking for a sign from the Universe and receiving it.

[Marilyn Braun]

I wrote another royal profile (http://marilynsroyalblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/royal-profile-right-honorable-adrienne.html).

[TemlynWriting]

I updated my All About Musicals blog (http://musicals.temlynwriting.com/) with an entry about "American Idol" winner (2004) Fantasia Barrino (http://musicals.temlynwriting.com/?p=28) starring on Broadway in The Color Purple, and which other "American Idol" hopefuls have appeared in musical-related activities. Also posted yesterday (http://musicals.temlynwriting.com/?p=24) about the original cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee being reunited for a brief series of performances.

I updated my main blog (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/) yesterday with an update (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/?p=128) about how I'm doing, since my back has been out.

I've loaded these (Amazon Contextual Ads) on my new blog (NZ Reality TV) but I'm still waiting for them to show on my website

Is anyone else using them? How are they working so far?
I added them to my All About Musicals blog (http://musicals.temlynwriting.com/) today, and they took a moment to show up, but now they're there.

[NatJM]

I updated my blog with a quick post about women civil servants in Indian who are now asked to provide details about their menstrual cycle in a form.

[bsolah]

I posted last night about Howard sending more troops to Afghanistan.

[RumpleTumbler]

I didn't update my blog today.

I don't have a blog.

[mdin]

My latest post (http://shiveredsky.blogspot.com/2007/04/well-isnt-that-wonderful.html) is about internet pedophiles stalking my three-year-old daughter.

[Dawno]

I didn't update my blog today.

I don't have a blog.

Well, go fix that right now! Sheesh, do we have to do everything for you? :)

[Lyra Jean]

I found a book called "Mars Needs Moms." It would be a great mom's day present.

[Dawno]

I've updated!


My latest post (http://shiveredsky.blogspot.com/2007/04/well-isnt-that-wonderful.html) is about internet pedophiles stalking my three-year-old daughter.

I read that post - I was very sad to see how those scum were linking to your clip.

[MMcC]

Updated my personal blog twice today. Once to crow about a new author I like, and then to announce a redesign on my design site.

Blog: http://christineolinger.blogspot.com
Design Site: http://www.websongdesigns.com

/out

[bsolah]

I've updated everyday since Sunday. I'm aiming for a full week.

Today I posted a story about getting a story idea.

[annie.rushden]

I posted about a redesign I did with the "new" blogger. I now hate XML. ;)

[bunnygirl]

I updated my main blog with Thinking Blogger Meme links to other blogs, and some thoughts of my own on working in the modern world and a yoga retreat I went on in 1990.

[Nakhlasmoke]

While i normally blog about my non-life, I've just recently started a new novel, so I'm taking the rather odd tack of talking about how that goes.

[Leah J. Utas]

I blogged about flipping triskaidekaphobia over to make it work for you.

[Susan Flemming]

I posted a reply on my blog to a question that was posed by writer Randy Ingermanson on his new blog. The question was... What Drives You to Write Fiction?

[paprikapink]

I updated mine (http://paprikapink2.blogspot.com/) today. Some things just get under my skin something fierce.

[David Gonzalez]

http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/04/day-by-day.html

talking about living alone while parents areout working.. and how much i yearn for an aparment :X

[annie.rushden]

I updated mine about Steve Stanton, the Largo city manager fired for being transsexual. He appeared on Larry King Live tonight.

[bsolah]

Waaaaaah! I didn't update last night coz I went out.

[bsolah]

I posted a review of Silverchair's latest album, Young Modern.

[Dawno]

Waaaaaah! I didn't update last night coz I went out.

This is a good thing! We'll forgive you for having a real life! :)

I did a quickie mini post on one of my favorite topics: Roombas

[bunnygirl]

I updated my main blog with stuff about my Saturday run and lunch with my husband. I updated my writing blog Friday night with thoughts on graphic novels.

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about seeing a pond full of swans yesterday.

[JulieB]

I added a couple of posts about being a Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch.

[bunnygirl]

I updated my fiction blog. It had been awhile, although to be honest, it was the "first diary" part that I originally set out to write. This second part hasn't captured my imagination in quite the same way as the five month journey did. Peace and relative prosperity just isn't as exciting, I guess. ;)

[Dawno]

I added a couple of posts about being a Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch.

Me too! Well, just one post.

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about being the preferred target of a violent, abusive, mentally ill sister.

[bsolah]

I blogged tonight about Australia's one million working poor.

Coming soon: Benjamin Solah breaks his mammoth writer's block.

[JulieB]

Me too! Well, just one post.

I just saw that! I'll leave a comment when I get more coffee in my system.

[Marilyn Braun]

I blogged about the biggest royal story right now - Kate Middleton and Prince William's breakup.

[aka eraser]

I blogged about eating Bambi.

Sorta.

[JenNipps]

I never remember to come in here and say if/when I've updated my blog. But I have. TOday's entry is "Time to Panic Yet?"

And I'm afraid the answer to that is YES! :scared:

Edit: D'oh! Blog link would be good, huh? Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com)

[bunnygirl]

Thoughts related to the Virginia Tech shootings on my main blog. I wanted to give a coffee review, but today just wasn't the day. Maybe in a day or two.

[Cindyh2k]

Added just my second post to my blog - my post today is about measuring success.

http://cindyh-myjourneytosuccess.blogspot.com/

Cindy

[The Scip]

Just posted about yesterdays red sox game.

[Leah J. Utas]

It's new moon today so I posted about abundance cheques.

[JenNipps]

It's a record! Twice in a row I remembered to put an update notice here. :)

(Yeah, I'm being goofy and somewhat facetious.)

Today on Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com) we have "Finally Did It."

(And I remembered the blog link this time, too. :))

[Gravity]

I haven't updated mine in weeks. Woops!

[Thomma Lyn]

Posted a group of quotes on friendship which speak to me -- not to mention I redesigned my whole dang blog! What can I say -- I needed the change. I like the new look better. :)

[bunnygirl]

The long-awaited (by a few) review of Java Juice coffee extract is up on my main blog!

[bsolah]

I received a nomination for a Thinking Blogger Award and post my own nominations. It's a good way to pass around kudos to fellow bloggers that have done well, without getting millions of hits or getting enough ad clicks to blog full-time.

[Uncarved]

I did indeed... songs, clinics, and mercy...


http://www.myspace.com/141452109

[Michael]

I did very early this morning, but not very much . . . just a bit of a note about getting rejected by Sword and Sorceress 22.

[The Scip]

Did another Red Sox update today...

[bsolah]

I updated about the Labor parties back down in the campaign against 'WorkChoices.'

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about finding out that "hello" is an invalid response to a phone call.

[C.bronco]

I did yesterday in response to VA Tech.

[IrishScribbler]

I did, in fact, update my blog with "Today, Literarily" and a few poems.

Soon to come: poems of my own creation! Watch out!

[Talia]

I posted about mental illness (http://www.emotionalwellbeingblog.com/2007/04/how-much-sensitivity-do-mentally-ill.html) linking to a post by another AWer who is struggling with a mentally ill relative

[bunnygirl]

I updated my fiction blog again. That's what, the second time in a week? Pretty good! I've got some ideas flowing again, finally, after burning myself out with five months of daily postings. I guess I just needed to recharge a bit, but I'm still not going back to dailys. Just about killed me, LOL!

[Susan Flemming]

I have a new post up with a list of a few writing contests I've come across. The first is being run by the owner of a blog that I check every day, the others are for literary mags and e-zines.

If anyone knows about other contests, leave me a note in comments and I'll add them to the list.

[Melanie Nilles]

If not for this thread, I don't know that I would remember to keep up my blog.

[Leah J. Utas]

I'm shamelessly plugging the Cart Smart bag invented by my cousin.

[Crabby McSlacker]

My most recent post today is a plea for people to trade links with me. (Also, a post on really bad workout music).

I know there's a humongous absolutewrite blogroll I could add all at once, but I'd like mine to develop a little more organically so I get the chance to check everybody out individually. So anyone who wants to trade links, please stop by!

[The Scip]

Another Random Thoughts post today

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about my head-shaking moment courtesy of the Provincial Government.

[Paul S Cilwa]

I presented my take on gun responsibility and the odd discrepancy between conservative and liberal takes on gun control, compared to their takes on everything else!

http://blog.paulcilwa.com/2007/04/20/aw-shoot.aspx

[Crabby McSlacker]

My posts are not nearly so intellectual. One is on possible name change and another is on the exciting new sport called SpeedMinton. (Actually neither exciting nor new, but what the heck.)

[Leah J. Utas]

I posted pics of the CartSmart in action.

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated with a post about writers and personal struggle.

[Dawno]

I updated my Live Journal account - it's "friends only" but if you have Live Journal, I'm ariz_dgt (http://ariz-dgt.livejournal.com/) and would be happy to add you as a friend.

[Dawno]

My latest review (http://podpeep.blogspot.com/2007/04/truth-it-lies-by-eoin-hennigan.html) is up on the POD People blog (http://www.podpeep.blogspot.com)

[bunnygirl]

New bunny pic and an account of my Saturday long run on my main blog.

New entry on my fiction blog, too.

[bsolah]

I posted photos from two protests I went to on the weekend.

[Dawno]

I've made a VERY IMPORTANT FOR WORLD PEACE update on my blog.

Beware the militarization of the Roomba!! Join the Movement for Peaceful Roombas! ;)

[Crabby McSlacker]

I posted about incredibly disgusting new product now available in a grocery store near you. Plus a correction post because I screwed up the new post and put in in out of order.

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about my continuing your vs. you're battle.

[JenNipps]

Friday night, I posted about synopsis woes. Today, I posted an addendum, both at Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com).

I don't know if I've ever mentioned, I do have a general everyday-stuff type blog on LiveJournal (http://jennipps.livejournal.com). Creatif is devoted only to writing and things creative. :)

[bunnygirl]

Yet another coffee post on my main blog. This time it's about my weekend experiments in cold brewing.

[Anya Smith]

Nope, again, I've been remiss. :Shrug:

[Uncarved]

I updated my myspace blog on wondering if I can poke my friends into blogging more.

[insulinboy]

I posted for the first time in almost a month.. speaking of long time no post.. hello again AW'ers :lol:

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about saying I do one thing and then the opposite happens. Therefore, I have vowed to never be published. Ha!

[JenNipps]

I squeezed a post in about an e-mail I got from a friend before I have to get back to work....http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2007/04/23/kudos-from-unexpected-places/

[aka eraser]

I despaired over the gullibility of writers and delivered a short course on the proper road to publication.

No charge. ;)

[IrishScribbler]

I updated my blog with "Today, Literarily" and the latest installation of poems. In a bit I'll be posting the next column about poetry.

[Dawno]

Pixel-stained Technopeasant post at my blog.

[Uncarved]

Updated my myspace blog with an entry "Typical Tuesday". a blog about really nothing.

[Kate Thornton]

Yes- today's Writing Stuff is about Time.
And there are 3 Beautiful Things, as always!

[Leah J. Utas]

On my first blog I wrote about an editing note I'd put on a ms page. It may have made sense when I was proofreading.

At my new team blog, Prozac Palace, I wrote more about my sister's odd phone calls to relatives.

[Uncarved]

Total new one. A Painful one.
Why I hate Mothers Day.
Its all on myspace blog.

[Crabby McSlacker]

I keep forgetting to come back here. But new posts in the last couple days on:

The inherent dorkiness of racewalking.

Splenda and Equal and eating babies for breakfast.

Insomnia and magic beans.

[Toothpaste]

Yeah I forget too! Today I posted something a bit different. This time I wrote about what an audition for a commerical is like.

[bunnygirl]

I reviewed the Lightwedge (http://www.lightwedge.com/) booklight on my main blog. It's a must-have product for bibliophiles!

[Crabby McSlacker]

Great Big Bouncy Breasts! Pictures and everything! (not of mine, however).

[David McAfee]

I updated mine a few days ago, but I just found this thread. :) New topic is called Neurotic Thoughts and Rabid Dachshunds. Folks who, like me, are waiting to hear from their agents on editorial replies might find it amusing. Mostly it's just my rambling brain...

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated at Prozac Palace yesterday about fighting with my sister when we were young.

[Crabby McSlacker]

New post on Screaming Bloody Murder.

[Toothpaste]

And a new post on me waxing philosophical about the nature of blogs. It's very deep. You should definitely check it out.

[Leah J. Utas]

I posted at the Goat's Lunch Pail about James Doohan's ashes being sent up tomorow.

[eric11210]

Just added a new story (total of three are up now) and a new item (first one) in The World Around Us, regarding the presidential elections which lists the web addresses for major candidates from the republicans and democrats.

Eric

[Anonymisty]

Hmmm....let's see. I posted Monday about IPSTPWDay, then on the 24th about a story once lost being found again, and then today, about the project my son just finished.

I know...her kid's school work? Sheesh. It's a mommyblog! But it's not really. I promise. :D

[David McAfee]

Updated mine today with a random thought on Beta Readers.

[Dawno]

Posted about pie. :)

[Michael]

Not yet, but I'm getting there.

[scottVee]

Blogged a copy of my writing newsletter today. Which is cheating, I guess. Have been trying to keep mine more active, but now I find it has several threads, and in an insane world I should probably split them off into separate blogs ...
http://unfuture.blogspot.com

[bunnygirl]

Saturday run and random musings about my week on my main blog.

[bsolah]

I made a writing post (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=395) about doing some actual writing, but also some more thoughts on why it's still not completely working out.

[paprikapink]

I yattered on a bit.

[bunnygirl]

Recent struggles with plot and theme on my writing blog.

[Michael]

Yeah, I made an itty bitty post...um...well, that would be last night now. Since I'm still up, it's all the same to me.

[Crabby McSlacker]

Ranted a bit about a once favorite magazine that's now totally fluffy and brainless.

[Leah J. Utas]

Did the blog apocalypse theme meme at TGLP.

Fresh posts at Prozac Palace, too.

[Dawno]

updated with an important PSA - spread the word. Even if you don't know why :D

[David McAfee]

Nuthin' special, but I did update I Have A Blog? this morning.

[Crabby McSlacker]

Exciting news about a Super Food that will enable you to withstand placing your Naked Flesh into Buckets of Ice Water!

And more on Big Bouncy Breasts and Technorati Rankings!

(Crabby seems to be falling in love with Capitalization and Exclamations)

Come Visit!!!!!

[aka eraser]

I confessed to something and illustrated, yet again, why I have been voted DAD OF THE YEAR, by me, for the umpteenth consecutive year.

It's a gift. :)

[Toothpaste]

A possibly controversial post about writers and the questions we ask in order to get things "right". Tried to be as even handed as possible though!

[JAlpha]

I updated my blog today with a sort of "What I learned at Novel Revision Camp" update.

And, in the next few days I'll be posting my review of a great Mother's Day read . . . Mothering Mother: A Daughter's Humorous and Heartbreaking Memoir http://www.amazon.com/Mothering-Mother-Daughters-Humorous-Heartbreaking/dp/160164003X Kunati Publishing http://www.kunati.com/

[Jessi]

I did a quick piece on where I found simple instructions (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-change-your-favicon-in-blogger.html) on how to change your favicon in Blogger.

[David McAfee]

I don't usually blog twice in one day, but I got an interesting email from my agent today about a rejection from Berkley, and I had to express my thoughts. :)

[Dawno]

updated :)

[sf.writer.mdk]

My blog has been updated recently. Come check out my life-story. Honestly, it may read like fiction, but most of it is true. Stay tuned for updates.

Take Care

[bsolah]

Responded another blog post regarding Television's influence on my writing.

[Crabby McSlacker]

A scandal in the confectionary world.

And a possible new contest. Win un-valuable prizes!

[JAlpha]

I read an interesting article on line today from The New York Times, Are Book Reviewers Out of Print? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/books/02revi.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/books/02revi.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1)

After reading the following two quotes . . .

“While I’m all for the literary bloggers, and I think the more people that write about books the better, they’re not necessarily as regionally focused as knowledgeable, experienced long-term editors in the South or Midwest or anywhere where the most important writers come from,” said Sam Tanenhaus, the editor of The New York Times Book Review.

And then there was this quote from Richard Ford, the Pulitzer Prize (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/p/pulitzer_prizes/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier)-winning novelist. “Newspapers, by having institutional backing, have a responsible relationship not only to their publisher but to their readership,” Mr. Ford said, “in a way that some guy sitting in his basement in Terre Haute maybe doesn’t.”

. . . I was left with an overwhelming urge to post my very first book review J

Be forewarned; I am not as regionally focused as knowledgeable, experienced long-term editors in the South and Midwest. And, I am not some guy sitting in his basement in Terre Haute either. But, as Martha Steward would say that is probably a good thing.

[jamiehall]

I did, twice! See my signature line for the link.

[JenNipps]

I've done a couple blog posts today at Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com). The other day, I did one on computer maintenance as well.

[JamieFord]

I used to blog 2-3 times a week, at least. But when I'm in the thick of a project, it tapers off.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated TGLP about the privilege of helping people using past life regression.

[Dawno]

I updated yesterday about my innumeracy and today it's about miscellaneous stuff.

[bsolah]

I read an interesting article on line today from The New York Times, Are Book Reviewers Out of Print? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/books/02revi.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/02/books/02revi.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1)

These kinds of comments really piss me off. But in a sense, it shows the mainstream media's defensiveness towards blogging that they always have to attack it.

Really, they're just shoving out the same elitist argument about normal people being stupid and just coz those journos are pathetic enough to mimic the words those fat cats running the company, doesn't make them more 'experienced.'

[IrishScribbler]

Posted Today, Literarily, and am working behind-the-scenes on next week's column.

Also, currently accepting suggestions for column ideas. Email me at nicolepalmby (at) gmail (dot) com.

[Leah J. Utas]

Posted on TGLP about affirmations.

[Crabby McSlacker]

Ten Incredibly Subjective Commandments of Good Health

and some miscellaneous Linkage to Better Sites than Mine.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated Prozac Palace with a suggestion that in some cases, at some times, the mentally ill can help it.
That oughta ruffle some feathers.

[bunnygirl]

I updated my Writing blog with some thoughts about worldbuilding and how it relates to character development.

[Dawno]

Startling Borg Hamster* post!





*well, the title at least...

[Crabby McSlacker]

Some Creepy Pictures you Really Don't Want to See

And a Cinco De Mayo post--easy recipe included.

[bsolah]

Posted another political post (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=397).

It's about the back downs and back flips of Australia's two shoddy political parties over the anti-union industrial relations laws. I've been posting about this a lot, but it's probably only interesting to those bloggers in Australia.

Though those from abroad may find striking similarities to what's going on in their own countries.

[Dawno]

Posted again yesterday, forgot to come by and mention it.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated TGLP about a plagiarist who got caught.

[eric11210]

Added what I think is a really funny drabble today -and a bit different -- told exclusively with dialogue. No narrative at all, so you totally have to imagine the scene. Basically, anyone who has worked in a kitchen or knows a chef will be laughing their heads off. Others will probably be scratching their heads and saying, "huh?".

And for all who had trouble commenting in the past, you can do so now. My apologies for any difficulties anyone had.

Eric

[bunnygirl]

New dog bunny pics on my main blog!

[Dawno]

Updated. A much more serious post than my usual fare.

[sf.writer.mdk]

I updated today.

I'm posting a tell-all. Don't ask me why. Actually, go ahead. I feel I need to to be able to be honest to myself. Number one, this story does need to get out, regardless whether you believe the events really took place, or more importantly, my interpretation of the events. I'm still learning blogger, so I'll try to organise the posts somehow so they (the biographical posts) don't interfere with the more random posts.

[Crabby McSlacker]

A couple new posts, one of which is quite clever because I didn't write it: it's a YouTube clip called Fat Rant.

[Kate Thornton]

Yes! Finally!

Today's WRITING STUFF is about vacations & research in exotic locales like upstate New York.

[JenNipps]

There's a post up at Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com) about a little bit about the conference I just went to.

[Cyjon]

I posted that April was a record month for me, talked a bit about goal setting, and foreshadowed my next couple posts.

[bunnygirl]

Agent Jessica Faust's post today on the Bookends blog inspired me to do another post on my writing blog about market vs art.

[Leah J. Utas]

I wrote about the quick, humane, email rejection at TGLP.

[David McAfee]

I updated today with a Public Safety Warning about the dangers of Blog Comment Addiction (kinda).

[Toothpaste]

I put up my review of Lottery by our own Patricia Wood. Did I like it? Did I loathe it? And does it matter what I think in the first place? Only one way to find out! Read on my friends, read on.

[Jessi]

I updated (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/) with a few jokes and a blurb about an "I look like my dog" contest (pictures, too!)

[bsolah]

I wrote a post for ProBloggers' Group Writing Project on ProBlogger (http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/05/07/top-5-group-writing-project/) titled 5 Elements of my Writer’s Sanctuary (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=398)

[Leah J. Utas]

Posted at TGLP about how I'm off on a road trip tomorrow. I encourage everyone to check out Prozac Palace where Miss Prozac has been busy.

[Toothpaste]

Updated with what I consider a rather amusing comic. Do check it out!

[Zonk]

Actually yesterday.

See my sig for the URL :)

:D:D:D

[Crabby McSlacker]

Heart rate monitors (zzzzz) and what Sneaky Scientists are doing to trick you with their M&M's.

[bunnygirl]

I answered the "Eight Random Facts" meme on my main blog, and commented on Mark Twain's critique of James Fenimore Cooper on my writing blog.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I post not too frequently---just to whine a bit, but mostly to flog my fanfic.

:D

Wow---29 pages of thread! Sugee.

[aka eraser]

I posted about guy stuff. Women should avoid it.

[Crabby McSlacker]

Ok, that "guy stuff" pitch worked so well I'm going to have to go check it out. Damn sneaky of you.

So I posted about Road Trips, in honor of a favorite commenter who's on one.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Love your username! :D

[DraperJC]

I updated my blog with my thoughts on a news story that I saw today. A Marine Corps Master Sergeant gave his life in order to rescue some perfect strangers. He should be remembered.

[bunnygirl]

I updated my fiction blog. I'm going to try to do at least one more post to each of my blogs before leaving town Sunday morning. After that, I'll switch over to my vacation blog. More on that later, though.

He has my gratitude, and my prayers go out to his friends and family. Semper fi.

[Christine N.]

Found a new review for my first book, and blogged about it last night, with a link to the review.

See my sig for link to blog :)


PS- there's still plenty of room on my Virtual Book Tour, if you'd like to get in on it...

OK--HOW do you make your link show text instead of the URL itself????

Tasukete! :flag:

[Dawno]

updated! Spiffy new award and memeness, too...

[Crabby McSlacker]

My goodness, everyone's been busy! Lots of blogs to go visit.

I've got a new one about why you no longer have to hate those skinny people who eat candy bars all day and never exercise. Heh heh heh.

[Christine N.]

What, on LJ? The same way you do here. I always use the Rich text editor. Highlight what you want to link, then click the little link button at the top of the toolbar, beside the font size drop down box. Looks like a little planet earth with an oval infront of it. (On AW it's below the smilie drop down box.) You'll get a pop-up box, where you enter the url of the place you want to link to, and click ok.

If you want, you can also do it in HTML mode, like this <a href="http://www.YOUR LINK HERE.com"> TEXT </a>

Almost all blog software with a Rich Text/WYSIWYG editor have the same icon. Even my freewebs website editor has it.

[Uncarved]

I did indeed. On myspace.
Recaps and Capsules:)

[Crabby McSlacker]

Sorry, me again.

A new post about certain Unmentionable Sexual Practices and the Surprising Dire Consequences of same.

(I'll try to have that post moved down off the top spot before Mother's Day)

No, I meant here, so my siggy line won't just have the URL in it.

Uhhhh... and I'm still confused how. Remember, I started back when people communicated by stone tablet and cave drawings.

You skip spaces when you do the <thingie>???

For here in the forums or your siggy, write it like this without the spaces: Absolute Write[/ url]

And it would look like this: [url=www.absolutewrite.com]Absolute Write ( www.absolutewrite.com)

Just replace your link and text to say what you want, and make sure you leave out the spaces.

[Storyteller5]

I just updated my blog, ranting about MD and having to worry about other Moms.

In the perfect world, I update my blog every second day. In the real world, I'm every second day for a week, then irregular for a bit, then every two and so on. ;)

[bsolah]

Need to post today as I haven't put anything up since I posted for the Group Writing Project on Wednesday. That was a complete success I got heaps of comments and link backs from people who liked my post.

The test is in the next post (which I should've done earlier) and if anyone sticks around.

[Dawno]

updated - with talking Koala!

[johnrobison]

Mine's updated, with music.

[bunnygirl]

Main blog and writing blog are both updated. The writing blog includes an outtake from my WIP. Both link to my Vacation Blog (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com), which is where I'll be posting for the next two weeks.

See you soon!

Domo! :D

I will probably update Tuesday.

[Christine N.]

Oh yeah, that's right, you can use the url /url thing here.

I'm on so many message boards and have MySpace, an LJ and a Xanga, sometimes I forget how each does things.

[matthewmilam]

I updated my main blog, my poetry blog, and my writing blog.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Despite my best intentions, I updated my blog today.

[eric11210]

I just added three new posts.

1. An article in the world around us about homelessness

2. A new story for the Drabble Dude

3. How to navigate (and comment) since some people had trouble with that.

[bunnygirl]

First day of vacation! My vacation (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com) blog is duly updated.

[Dawno]

updated two blogs today - my main one and my new review blog "Drive by Booking"

[Christine N.]

Yes, updated with all the stuff that happened over the weekend, plus a little update on my quest to finish a first draft within two months, my own NaWriMo for May. the goal is 31K, or 1K a day for a month, but I'm so far behind already I don't think I'll make it.

But I am making a valiant effort.

[Crabby McSlacker]

This morning: good news about a favorite caffeinated beverage!

Also, a couple of mother's day related posts over the weekend.

[AceTachyon]

Updated--unfortunately, sans talking Koala or music

[Michael]

Not yet, although I hope to at least once before I leave again. I haven't been able to for a couple weeks because I haven't been home. And I've had some issues with my health recently, from which I'm still recovering, so I may not post anything for w while longer. Although I should be back to normal in about two weeks.

[Toothpaste]

Tapped a few blogs as "thinking blogs". But which ones . . . only one way to find out . . .

[bunnygirl]

New update to my Vacation Blog (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com/). Lots o' pix!!!

[sf.writer.mdk]

New update to my blog, as well. I agree, some may not understand it, however, most of my PKD material is posted, and I can move on with my new material, most of which will deal with the present and future, and not the past.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I updated!

Because Tuesday is the new Monday. :D

[Dawno]

Updated last night. Talked about pens.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Where? Where?!!

I love pens. :)

[Crabby McSlacker]

Drastic change in blog format proposed! Should Crabby crawl out of her crusty shell a bit more? Readers, please weigh in.

[matthewmilam]

No updates today.

[Leah J. Utas]

I'm back and I've updated both blogs. Posted a scenic at TGLP and wrote about forcing the mentally ill to take their meds at Prozac Palace.

[Toothpaste]

New entry under the "Actress" title of The Temp, The Actress and The Writer. This time a run through of what a rehearsal process for a play is like. Fascinating stuff people . . .

[AceTachyon]

Updated.

[bunnygirl]

Day Three of my vacation up on my Vacation Blog (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com). Pics included, including some of me looking dorky in a bandana!

[jenfreedom]

YES. I always wanted to say that.

~ Jennifer

[bsolah]

Posted about the Macquarie Bank CEO getting an insane payrise.

[Christine N.]

Today's entry is a quick update on stuff... book release, virtual book tour, all that stuff.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated about the importance of being lousy at something.

[robeiae]

Updated mine with an entry about a handy-dandy program for writers, as suggested by someone on this board. I gave full credit, of course. :D

[Dawno]

posted - links mostly, but literary links! :)

[AceTachyon]

Yes, I updated today. :D

[bunnygirl]

Day Four of my Vacation (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com) is up. More pics!

[Dawno]

posted - insults and chatting computers and stuff...

[Crabby McSlacker]

A couple new posts: thievery from Dawno's blog and...

the Crab returns.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated TGLP about approaching a stranger in a parking lot and what I asked him.
NB Post contains pic of me.

[robeiae]

Updated with a full bit on a heinous organization.

Wow, I never have entries this frequently. I must be sick, or something...

[JulieB]

Apologies to my RSS feed subscribers. It's been broken for a few days. The hosting service made a round of security-related changes, and one of them broke the RSS feeds. I finally figured out why their changes broke the feeds and fixed the code.

Tighter security is always a good thing, but it does not always come headache-free.

[bunnygirl]

Day Five of my vacation is up. Lots of pics, including Taos pueblo. It's on my Vacation blog (http://vacaciones3.blogspot.com).

[Dawno]

posted - Crustacean fitness!

[bsolah]

Posted a writing post last night

[valeenc]

http://blog.myspace.com/valeenc (http://blog.myspace.com/valeenc)

Today is a double bonus day. Frank Capra and my lack of a newspaper.

The two before that had to do with auditioning.

Prior to that? Mother's Day and spiritual matters.

And before that? My mom's 77th birthday, recipe included.

Anything earlier will range from depression to rage to happiness. In other words, my normal insanity.

All readers are welcome.

*curtsy*

[Leah J. Utas]

Fresh post at Prozac Palace.

[AceTachyon]

New posts and new header graphic.

[Toothpaste]

New post with UK cover of my book! What will it look like? Only one way to find out . . .

[Leah J. Utas]

At TGLP I wrote about my wrong turn adventures in Montana.

[Crabby McSlacker]

I've got some new ones since last time--mammograms & fish oil burps.

But more importantly: DAWNO: I can't get in your comments! You've caught the mysterious Missing Comment disease that many of us have been suffering from lately. Check your blog and let your eager readers in!

This is of extreme urgency for Crabby as you have a crustacean-related post.
