Is It Luck? 4 Tips To Win Giveaways
I have amazing giveaway luck. I've been entering them for about a year and have won no less than 10. Really, I've lost count. Just in the last few weeks, I've won three giveaways! I can hardly believe it. It seems like everything I enter lately, I win! I Won... A Pet Bed! Several weeks ago, I won a large rouge & blush Kakadu Pet Adventure Mat over at A Wrestling Addicted Mommy. It's just as cute as it looks and pretty amazing. It's durable, washable and comfortable. The Westie, Maltese, cat and 15 month old ...

Find Photos for your Blog in 6 Easy Steps
A point of visual interest adds a lot to a blog post. Your words are powerful on their own, but couple them with relevant images and it will be more likely to grab readers and prompt them to share it via their own social networks. If you're not sure where to start to find images to use on your blog, Flickr is an awesome solution. There are thousands of photographs licensed for creative use by others which means you can use them in your blog posts, usually just as long as you attribute the artist. Photo credit: skippyjon. ...
The Blog Tax: Updated 8/27
This week, bloggers all over America were rocked when the Philadelphia Citypaper, among other news outlets, published an article indicating the city required all bloggers with any ad or affiliate links on their site to pay a fee of $300 for a "business privilege license". There are two clear camps: those who are outraged at being taxed when they don't even make enough money off the affiliate links and ads to pay for the cost of their hobby and those who agree that if you want to open up an avenue to be paid for your blog, you ARE ...
Friday Finds: Food

I am so thankful for those of you who come back week after week with your submissions! It's making my job of putting together an 18 photograph gallery especially difficult! If you have any ...
Before + After: Adjustment Layers
Due to the SITS/Blogfrog 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge, I am weeks behind in my photo editing. The photographs used in today's example are from July 31 and I just today edited them! I haven't been the best Project 365 example either, as I almost always skip at least one day a week. Hopefully now that the challenge is "over" (is self-improvement ever truly over?) I'll get back on track. I'm excited to participate in this week's Before + After Blog Hop hosted by Pixel Perfect. As I mentioned, I totally ditched the Love That Shot ...
Friday Finds: Signs
Happy Friday everyone! Friday Finds is a collection of my favorite photography, photo editing and blogging links throughout the week. Every week there's different theme and a gallery of images is presented in addition to the links! I have to publicly thank my husband for his brilliant suggestion to have a Signs challenge for Friday Finds! I had so much fun this week; signs are just so interesting! Some are funny, some are haunting and even if the sign is the same, the execution of the photograph is going to be different. We had more participation in ...
How to Track Comments in Google Reader
Commenting on a lot of blogs daily presents a major problem: How do I keep track of all these blog posts? Or is it even worth it? I really don't like leaving a piece of myself behind and forgetting about it. Truly - I've held onto everything I've ever written which was mine to keep. I have my first grade diaries, my middle school short stories, my high school angsty love-sick notes and even a novel I started in the 9th grade! (The Locket's Echo - about a girl who loses her one true love ...
