A Few Tidbits From the Blogosphere This Week

It’s been a strange week in many ways this week. So I only have a few posts to highlight.
Ever struggled with why you can’t lose weight? Mr “Pulls No Punches” Harper himself has a great post The Parable of the Chocoholic. His teaching of late has centred around the fact that […]


Offline Promotion

While this is GREAT publicity for Darren Rowse, Karen Cheng and Neerav Bhatt, I believe the potential benefits for ALL bloggers through this publicity is great.

Entrecard Blog Review: Becs Life

Bec’s Life is a blog about internet marketing.

But the post does present some important points about blogging, in a […]


Rubicon Project

A few months ago, I decided to trial the Rubicon Project on this blog. So I thought I’d share a few thoughts with you on my experiences so far.
I GOT PAID!!!!!
This is my first point because as wonderful as it is to see the cents turn to dollars in an account, I estimate it […]


Entrecard Blog Review: Will You Mind

Will You Mind is a personal blog covering a wide variety of topics. Looking at the various labels, it’s obvious the blog author has a heart for charity and is passionate about the environment.
I was particularly interesting in a post about an invention that enables park benches to roll. If there’s been […]


Bargains 4 Kids

I just received an email this morning from Identity Direct announcing some clearance bargains. I’ve ordered from their Bargains 4 Kids page before and picked up some great products at discounted prices. It’s a great site for picking up gifts. Might be worth a look.
