Keeping Up With the Times by Erica V. on July 3, 2012

Do you have a deadline for when you try to get a post out?

• Nowadays, I really don’t have a deadline. But if I happen to come across a news-related article, I definitely share those online almost immediately.

Or do you prefer to focus on pieces that can be timely at, well, any time?

• My focus has been blurred between personal experiences and news worthy opinions.

Focus On: Political Blogs by Elizabeth on July 4, 2012

Do you ever blog about politics?

• I blog almost everyday about politics with the imagined hope that my “ideas” would be seen and acted upon by TPTB and pals.

Do you get much of your news from blogs?

• My sources are from online news and/or sites redirecting to blogs, too. But most of the news are well-known/controlled by TPTB and pals. Get it?

Can you Speel It? by Daryl L. L. Houston on July 5, 2012

Of the twenty-five most commonly misspelled words (in English), “occurrence” would have to be a word I cannot spell correctly: I cannot decide if the word needs a letter “e” or “a” or two “c” or “r”. But thanks for the “spell-check”, I don’t have to worry about embarrassing myself. But I noticed that the “dictionary” is limited and I have to consult the online dictionary for longer/harder words.

Guest Post: 5 Tips for Super-Busy Bloggers – Especially Mums and Dads by homemadekids on July 9, 2012

What blogging tips have you got for the super-busy?

1. Take notes/photos. If you have a smart/cellphone, you’re in luck! Jot down anything that might be blogging material. Take lots of photos but delete the ones you don’t like.
2. Blog immediately. If you don’t have time to enter notes, use the QuickPress feature of WordPress.
3. Blog later. Accumulate whatever notes, thoughts and media and blog at the end of the day, every other day or weekly!
4. Wait until late at night. After everyone is fast asleep, sneak a few minutes behind the computer and blog away!
5. Keep one blog. Don’t open multiple accounts. It’s insane. No Fakebook, No Twits, No Tubes. Just WordPress, okay? Good!

Alternate Endings by Erica V. on July 10, 2012

Which is the hardest part for you: the beginning or end?

• Drawing a conclusion is the easiest as long as I have REAL life experiences to support the long-winded details to each blog.

How often do you edit your final line?

• My final line doesn’t always make sense. But I always like to have the “last word(s)”! So I’m always editing the entire blog, even VERY old ones from years ago.

Focus On: Nature Blogs by Elizabeth on July 11, 2012

Do you ever blog about nature?

• Yes. I’ve blogged about spiders, insects, birds, small mammals and other outdoor events. But unfortunately, I don’t always upload images to share and have mixed in my rants, too.

Do you have any tips for remembering and recording outdoor adventures?

• The best thing is to take photos and then take notes at the same time for later editing of each uploaded media.

Verbs by Daryl L. L. Houston on July 12, 2012

Here is my sample story using simple verbs:

Yesterday, I ran into a friend. She came up to me and said: Hey! How was your run at the gym? Did you meet your goals? I had to lie and replied: No. I have to get home right away and lie down because I don’t feel so good. She said: “Aww! That’s too bad! We are planning to swim at the local YMCA later on. It’s too bad you won’t be swimming with us. Hope you feel better!”

Ebbs and Flows by Erica V. on July 17, 2012

Have you been meeting your blogging goals?

• Yes and no. Everyday I post about nonsense. I really wanted to answer ALL Plinky.com prompts and The Daily Post at WordPress.com answers, too.

If so, what are you tips for staying focused and productive?

• My only tips are to set aside at least one hour of FORCED blogging (preferably at night when no one is around to disturb),

Will you be making any changes to your goals for the next half of the year?

• I’m trying to answer as many prompts as possible while trying to post images for the Weekly Challenge.

Focus On: Health & Fitness Blogs by Elizabeth on July 18, 2012

Are you an active and healthy person, or are you trying to be?

• I am NOT an active and healthy person. But I am trying to be more conscious of what I eat.

Would you ever blog about your fitness routine?

• If I ever get around to “exercising”, I would certainly share my daily regime.

Get Interactive by Erica V. on July 24, 2012

Do you have any fun methods for engaging your readers?

I tried posting an image for guessing but no one got it correct.

Have you ever tried a competition or contest on your blog?

Nope. I don’t like the idea of “losers” or “winners take all”.

Or have you teamed up with your readers for a challenge?

Nope. I’m pretty much a loner.
