Blogging Betty Boomer shares her insights on the 30 Day Blog Challenge. I know my name appears as the one who participated but since we are like sisters she was there too. As you know, she is my blogging persona on my boomer sites.No, I’m not on medicine. Ha!
One of the super benefits of the challenge was all the wonderful people I met and the information I learned. It could have been an course for credit at a University. Also, it provided even more blogging discipline. I made some serious decisions. One of those decisions was to start using the very forms I created to manage my blogging. I have gotten lax. The blog management system I developed can help organize your blogging. That means you will be even more productive and SAVE TIME!
I even see where some other forms need to be developed. So, that is on the agenda also. I am doing a 4th of July Special just until July 6, 2010. The forms will only be $1.00 if you use the discount code #blog30. You can see the ad in the sidebar.
Now, you are probably thinking, “Total waste of time” or “Too much work”. But try it and see if you like it.
Meanwhile, Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!
As many of you know, Blogging Betty Boomer often stops by to post on this site. She is officially the other Administrator for Blogging for Boomers. She may appear as an audio, video or text post.
Well, I told her about the Blog Challenge I was in for the next 30 Days and she decided to come up with a fun filled way to share some blogging tips. She is using a Hula Hoop!
Well, if you read the last two posts you know that I have transferred my static website to a blogging platform. The site is Rosie Horner. However, although I am sharing it with you now it realllllllllly is not fully ready for Prime Time. So, I will share with you some things that I have done and will be doing to complete it.
So, stay tuned, and come along with us on this adventure. Meanwhile, enjoy Blogging Betty’s Hula Tips. Why knows by the time this challenge is over she might loose an inch.
PS She wants to give special thanks to Kevin Thompson for the idea and hubby Ray Horner Jr. for the flip filming in the midst of a very busy day.
It has been a while but here is an audio note from Blogging Betty Boomer. Now audio notes are really cool. Once you click on this link a web page will open and her voice, recorded in the wee hours of boomer time, will be blasting. She does not sing or dance in this one, sorry.
Have you ever thought about searching for images using pictures instead of words? Well, we have landed on a planet called Google Similar Images during our exploration of Google Labs.
What this program will do is allow the opportunity to key in a search item and then click on the Silmilar Image link under an image to find other images that look like it. When you go to the top of the page there are drop down menus that allow you to search in different image sizes.
Under the Google logo are three drop down menu options on the Images toolbar. You can show:
All Image Sizes or
Extra large Images
Large images
Medium images
Small images
Any Content or
News Content
Faces
Clip Art
Line Drawings
Photo Content
Color
12 Color options are available
What I tried
I searched on several items using all the options. One search was on artist, hubby, Ray Horner both with the jr. in is name and without. (Yes, there was a difference) After playing with all the image options I went back and clicked on the link under one of the search results.
Now this was a cartoon he did about Blogging Betty Boomer at the water cooler. Clicking on the link showed other cartoons. Many involved water color activity. Very interesting.
So, give this planet a try and see what your search shows. Would love to hear about about it.
