Yes, I’m over 3 hours late, but hey-I remembered right?
On Mondays, Cat has been promoting Click & Comment Day. I am also posting this to remind you how important it is to comment on other blogs. It truly DOES increase your readership and you most often gain regulars that will visit your blog day after day.
Go to my links page, find a blogroll and start clicking and commenting!
So, let’s get started! Comment here and I’ll either add your name and link to my post or use an auto-link program and let you add your own.
I really encourage you to do this at least to 5 comments if you have ANY time at all. It will give you the joy of sharing a few of your opinions on posts and bring you future readers.
Thanks and enjoy Click & Comment Day by visting this page and adding it to your blog!
Are you posting Click & Comment on your blog? Add your name to the list with a link to your blog and I’ll come visit. If you do this you not only gain links but new blog-friends as well.
Enjoy! I’m going to try to do this each Monday. Why not start your week off right?

Humor
To whomever nominated me for Blog of the Day at Blog of the Day Awards, thank you. I didn’t recognize the screen name of the person, but apparently the folks over at BOTD agreed. I never win anything. I feel a tear coming-no wait, just allergies.
For a little Sunday humor, I give you the following. I received this in an email from a friend, so I turned it into an easy to print image-women-post this on the fridge for your men to see as a daily reminder.

I have two words about this site- love it. Using a Web 2.0 style of service, the site allows users to set up their own wikis, forums, communities, even private sites- all for free. I created my own account on Wiki.com and to test the waters-excellent user interface, an assortment of themes and easy to understand documentation. With every tech savvy Internet user so focused on the new Web 2.0, this may be a site to check out for reference on where blogging and community sites may be headed in the future. Two items I’m impressed with- RSS feed import/export and a custom domain option. For example, I have a domain I am working on for the “things I bookmark” feature I used on this blog. I can set up the DNS nameservers through my paid domain, to resolve the domain to the Wiki.com servers-and I automatically have both sites available. Three 301 redirects are allowed, so if I wanted, I could set it up to have visitors redirected to the main site, (since my domain doesn’t use the www. prefix, this comes in handy). I’m always looking for new sites to play around with-this is how I ended up using WordPress as my blogging platform-and I do recommend giving this a try- even if for the community sites alone. It’s free, it’s useful and a great learning tool-I never state how well I like a product or site unless I find the site to be worth visiting. I believe this is the future of free wikis, community sites and blogging.
Well, only one British television show, the fabulous Cash In The Attic. This is the show in which people want to raise money to remodel a bathroom, or something, so they have experts come in, dig through closets, under the bed, in the attic and in the garage, (I’m pronouncing garage in a horrible British accent), and take the so-called junk to auctions. As I sit on my American couch, in my American living room, watching BBC America, I start thinking-what do I have that could be worth money? Not a damn thing. For example, one older couple, made over £12,000. On junk. Items covered, at one time, with dust bunnies. “This is a Victorian blah blah blah made for King so and so, and I’m giving it a conservative estimate of £500.” Couldn’t one go out and buy a brand new blah blah item for £500? And I’ve noticed the British have a penchant for collecting character mugs:
I haven’t figured out the reason why, they’re hideous, but, to each his own. Now, I must return to my addiction-only an hour left of an all day marathon.
