This is a place for bloggers to develop that community spirit. You can track which pages your readers prefer to read so you know what is of interest to them. It is a great place to make new friends and connect with other bloggers.3.
This is another benefit of belonging to MyBlogLog. This little pop-up button lets you know which links are clicked on most often. That way you know what is popular with your readers, not to mention it is just fun!4.
Here is a new banner for those who would like to use it to link to my blog. It was made by Eric at "The Voice of Experience." All you have to do is look in my side bar and copy the code from the little box and place on your blog. It is that easy!5.
Would you prefer the button to link here? Eric made this one too! The code is located in the sidebar as well.6. STICKY POSTS- I have added a sticky post section directly above the first post that shows on the page. This is to highlight certain posts or important things that are going on. If you missed it, check it out!
7. The Heart of the Matter online homeschool magazine. I write for a monthly column over there entitled, "Ducks in a Row." It is for homeschooling with a large family.

8. "Weekend Kindness; Reaching Others Through Kindness" run by MInTheGap is my latest venture.
9. The Well Drained Mind is a place I blog very spuratically but there are a lot of other great things over there for you to check out as well!

There are some wonderful things on this list, I'm just a little too techno chalenged to take advantage of all of the features.
I think I'm going to concentrate on my digital photography and PhotoShop classes for a while. Then I may jump more heavily into blog and web page design.
Have a great day. - At January 31, 2008 10:09 AM, Kat's Krackerbox said...

That is a lot going on! I've considered doing the comment click thingie (number 1) but I worry that people will choose one or the other, either click or comment, but I doubt they'll do both.
Happy TT :-) - At January 31, 2008 4:39 PM, MamaArcher said...

I have wondered about that too, I have not been able to tell that many have even used it though. I am not sure how long that feature will stay around here. But it is fun for something new to try!

Hi
Val said you wanted me to come by and see if things were still slow. The good news is I did get this far, but it did say you had two errors on your page.
I sure hope this helps, because I really love coming by.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
