November Updates to Top Aussie Bloggers list
I’m a bit slow off the mark but would like to say congratulations to the following bloggers who’ve made it into the Top 100 Aussie Bloggers Index this month:
This blog almost makes me want to have another wedding. So many lovely gowns and other wedding related posts. *swoon* Maybe I should start a wedding blog….. Just kidding! 
I know I already have too many blogs!!! *sigh* But a wedding blog would be lots of fun….. Perhaps for now I’ll be content to simply read and dream…..
Dedicated to helping businesses make better use of the social web.
From it’s about page:
“TechNation Australia is a technology news, review and analysis site with a focus on startups and Internet companies related to Australia.”
An interesting looking crafty blog. Could be a dangerous place for me to frequent. Although I’m very good at drawling over craft blogs and not getting around to actually DOING any craft!!! 
A parenting blog/online magazine.
So, there you have it. More new blogs to check out. Just don’t forget to come back here!!!! 
It’s a blog eat blog world out there!
Farewell Rubicon Project
I find the best way to decide which monetization strategies are going to most fruitful for a blog/website is to give them a go.
When I first began with the Rubicon Project, it seemed promising. While the first couple of months yielded only a few dollars, it had promise and I persevered for some time, hoping that promise would come to fruition.
Sadly, after the first few months, revenue dropped to under 50c a month and it hasn’t picked up again since.
This isn’t a massive blog in terms of traffic but I feel for the amount of real estate the Rubicon Project graphic was taking up, 22c a month just wasn’t worth maintaining it.
So, for now, I have chosen to remove Rubicon Project from the blog.
I’m not replacing it with anything in particular. Not just yet anyway. I have done a bit of moving around in my sidebars but that’s about it.
I may even return at some point in the future. We’ll see.
Free Wifi At McDonalds
Image via WikipediaMcDonald’s have started rolling out free wifi in their stores with an expected completion date of March 2009.
This is perfect timing for me as it will make blogging on the road so much easier (and cheaper). I’m sure my children will be happy to take a side trip to McDonald’s in order to post our blog posts while we’re away.
Hubby can drink coffee and read the paper while the kids play and I blog. What a perfect arrangement!!! 
With our departure date July 2009, things should be well in place when we leave.
Not to mention the fact that other businesses are likely to follow suit in a bid to compete with McDonald’s and their huge portion of the market.
It will be good to see Australia with more and more free wifi hotspots given how expensive our mobile internet services seem to be.
You can read more about this anouncement at:
I wonder if it’s too much to hope that free wifi in caravan parks catches on before July next year? I know a few already offer it but not many.

Anyone Else Having Trouble With Flock?
I’m finding my Flock browser is getting slower and slower. Today I couldn’t get any pages to load in it (despite it trying hard). Unsure whether it was my connection (which can be dodgy at times), I decided to open Firefox and see how that went. It seems to be working fine (well, not uber-fast but at least it’s working).
So, my question to all you Flock users out there. Are you still happy with it? Have you had any trouble with it being slow?
I switched to Flock as part of the 30 Day Challenge and while I like some of it’s features, I’m not convinced I’m going to stick with it.
What are your thoughts in general on the best browser to use?
Free Christmas Craft Ideas
With Christmas fast approaching I am always on the look-out for new Christmas Crafts and Projects.
Craft Bits is a comprehensive crafting site packed with ideas for crafts for all occasions.
I particularly like this Beaded Angel and this Glitter Snowflake.
There are ranges of craft ideas from simpler ideas for children, to gifts in a jar, knitting patterns and much much more. I have to admit that my knitting skills are rather basic (ie I can knit dishcloths) and they have some great dishcloth patterns which look like a brilliant next step for my knitting (or lack of) skills. I could even knit one with a J on it (although will that mean I have to do the dishes????). 
If you’re interested in browsing for new craft ideas, this site is a definite must visit. I know I’ll be adding it to my favourites folder!
