Blog Challenge 52

Blog Challenge #4

noreply@blogger.com (Amy) — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 19:17:00 +0000

Okay so for my fourth blog I decided to share something I like to do as a hobby. Art.
I honestly think I was much better at it when I was younger but that's because I used to paint and draw everyday. Even though I just started getting back into it, I am hoping some of that "flare" I had will come back. =)

Lately, I have had a lot of fun in any little spare time I have (or use instead of sleep) to have fun with art and graphics. I have been messing with this free program that is called Paint.net and it's actually really cool once you learn the ropes. I have made this on my own today for this blog and to add as a button to other blogs that are on my challenge list!

So what do you think? I had a ton of fun with it! The girl was a free clipart and I had to cut her out and put just her onto my page. She actually looks like me a bit with the black hair and the body I "once" had..haha.

I think there are about 12 different layers. I know I am not a pro.... But I have fun doing it!

And the directory of the hour goes to....

noreply@blogger.com (Amy) — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 16:32:00 +0000

Yesterday and today I submitted to two more directories. Today is one very important one that I would say to submit to first and it can take a little time to get listed, but you will get into the major search engines.
Submit your url to: http://www.dmoz.org/

As for the other directories, I have three already showing up but this one is on top and giving me the most traffic so far: www.blogsitelist.com

When I say most, I mean like under 10 hits so far. I don't want you to do this and then wonder where the thousands are. I understand this may take some time.

I am doing pretty well with keeping up my blogging although we are only talking 3 blogs here. On my Lions, Tigers, and Autism Oh My!, I just completely spilled my guts out. Don't know that it's a good thing but feel like I will probably do a lot of that. I think that I am finding blogging to be therapeutic. I used to write in a journal and that would help, but now just writing in it and keeping it locked away still makes me feel like kicking someones ass. (sorry for the language.) At least this way I can feel like there might be someone out there going "I hear ya girl".

Random Ramblings

noreply@blogger.com (Amy) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 05:23:00 +0000

Yes, This is Me. But now I have
black hair. I will update!

So I am crazy awake right now! I don't know if it's because I'm so freaked out on what happened on Grey's Anatomy tonight or pissed that they blew off private practice! These are my two most loved shows. To me they are better than ........ well you know. And almost better then dark chocolate!

Anyway, I am always thinking about my blogs now. Everything I do or think I stop and go "could I make a blog about this". I can't even take butter out of the fridge without hesitating to think that maybe people would be interested in it's history. Haha... well not really but you get my drift. But yeah, some things are pretty funny.

I am coming down to the wire though about my next blog so I do need to make up my mind about something! You are probably thinking, I had this all written down and planned out right?

WRONG! I am just wingin' it so to speak. I am kind of leaning towards organization strategies or a blog tribute to work at home mothers out there. So, if anyone is out there reading this feel free to give me your thoughts. Anyone there? =)

P.S. I will be doing a lot of random ramblings just so you are prepared. If I start to get more viewers, I might ad a webcam so you can just sit there and watch me ramble like a idiot!

Blog Directories

noreply@blogger.com (Amy) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:36:00 +0000

Okay, So I could probably use this blogging for dummies book!

No really I am just learning as I go.

One thing I know is if you want to get people visiting your blog you need to submit it! I am just starting with Blog directories first though. I found this great list of different great directories to submit to and will share them as I submit them.
We will see if any of these actually send me traffic and how much!

This is me and my son Car. Is he not just as goofy as me?!!
