This contest is over. The winner is Content Pig!

Now, as many of you know, I was lucky enough to get picked as an Izea Insider. One of my perks is that I have access to passes to conferences. One conference that is coming up is the Affiliate Summit. It takes place in Las Vegas from January 11 – January 13th, 2009. I can’t go. We will be celebrating Madison’s 5th birthday, and I kind of need to be here for that. However, I want to pass this on to one of my lucky readers, because you are all so great!

EntreDroppers

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Have you heard of Entrecard before? If you are a blogger, its one of those sites that makes you excited like when you were in high school and found the best acne treatment ever. Seriously, Entrecard drives a fair amount of traffic to your site. However, they recently have gone through some changes that all the users don’t agree with. I won’t get into that since everything can change again in a day or two.

Instead, this post is about Owen and how awesome he is. Owen has written a plugin called EntreDroppers for us WP users. You can see it working in my sidebar (Its called Latest EntreDroppers). All you have to do is input your RSS feed from your Entrecard inbox, and that’s it! You can tweak it to look like you want — descriptions after blogs, number of blogs showing, etc. I have mine to show the last ten blogs to drop on me.

Give a shout out to Owen and let him know he rocks and download his plugin!

More and more recipes

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Right now, I am trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight. I would consider myself a beginner cook, since most of my specialties come out of a box (who doesn’t like Hamburger Helper!). That’s why when I come across blogs like My Recipes Blog I am in seventh heaven. I need simple directions that I can’t mess up. I am usually trying to deal with (fight with?) two kids and cook at the same time. It isn’t a good combination. However, if the recipe is simple and to the point, it makes it hard for me to miss something. I like the 4 to 5 step directions. I also love that these recipes actually include ingredients I have around the house. Nothing is more annoying than when you have to run to the store for one weird ingredient that you will never use again. You can also search by categories on the recipes. If you are looking for a recipe using apricots, all you have to do is click apricots on the sidebar and you have your recipe choices. I swear, you can’t make it any easier than that. Lastly, the pictures next to the recipes also look delicious and make me want to try those recipes. If you are like me and need to figure out what to make for dinner tonight, take a peek at My Recipes Blog.

Postie Carnival

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

This month the Postie Carnival is at Skeet’s Stuff, and the topic this month is Easter and spring stories. I entered in my Easter Bonnet recipe.

Haven’t heard of the postie carnival before? Well, it is quite easy to participate in. The rules are simple:

1. Be an active Izea postie.
2. Email us at posties@inbox.com the link to your blog as well as the link to your favorite post.
3. Submissions must be entered no later than 6pm the day before the carnival. (The carnivals will be the 1st of every month).
4. Place a post on your blog directing other Posties to enter the carnival and then another post the day of the carnival directing readers to check the carnival out.

To make submitting easy, I have included a widget in my sidebar that you can use or this link.
