I'm always looking for new ways of shopping online. Since I first began writing about buying and selling online, I've tried to find the easiest ways of getting exactly what you want. Then I ran across a site called ShopWiki.com and soon realized that I wasn't finding all the online stores with great deals.
This is a great resource for finding all kinds of things online. You can find everything from boots and shoes, to the latest video games on the market. The reason you can find so much more here is because ShopWiki.com scours online stores much in the same way as Google crawls the various websites online.
Another really cool thing about this site is that they offer an easy-to-use gift guide that can help you choose just the right gift for the right person or occasion. This section is divided into two different categories, taking all the guess work out of the equation. And with Mother's Day just around the corner, you can get a jump start on the holiday.
If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for all the things you need and want online, I highly recommend ShopWiki.com. A search engine for the super shopper in all of us.

What is HD Digital Radio
I've been hearing a lot of chatter about HD Radio, but I really didn't know what it was. I just thought it was some plug-in you put on your blog, or some kind of download that would cost a bazillion dollars to have on your computer. But, that's not what it is at all. In order to get HD Radio, you first need an HD Radio Receiver.
The cool thing about HD Radio is that you can get it in your car, or in your home. Once you've set up your reciever, you can get regular radio stations like a normal radio. Of course, depending on where you live, will determine which stations you'll receive. For instance, if you live in New York, you can scan through the list and find all the New York High Definition Radio stations. If you live in Colorado, you simply click on that state and do the same thing. It's pretty easy to find exactly what you're looking for.
One thing I know my kids would love about HD Radio is their iPod dock with iTunes Tagging. Simply put, this is a docking station reciever. You simply place your iPod in the top and whenever a song comes on that you enjoy, you hit the Tag button, and that song is automatically downloaded into your iPod. That's something my kids would clean just about anything for.
The only cost I can find with this is with the HD Radio Reciever itself. There are a wide range of receivers, many with the iPod function built in, and a few are listed for less than $50. Then, you get to listen to the radio for free, just as if you were listening from a normal stereo system. This sounds like something that my family would definately enjoy. My kids would just love the iPod Tagging, and my husband would love the fact that there was only one base cost. Myself, I'd love the fact that I could listen to the radio, and get the music that I love.

Great Advertising Offer for Bloggers
Ok, so anyone who's ever read this blog knows that I do a lot of work with Garry Conn. Well, now I'm going to tell you about a great deal he's got going on over at his site. He's selling 125x125 graphic ad spots for only $5.95.
I had to go back and re-read the post a couple of times to get the whole jist of the idea. Garry is offering some serious advertising deals, starting at only $5.95 per month. I had to jump on this deal, as I've seen what some other sites are asking for advertising dollars. It's crazy. Most sites ask for anywhere between $20 and $500 for a month on their site, but Garry is offering this deal for about the same price as a Happy Meal.
He's got a lot of other deals going on right now, too, including footer ads, 250x250 ads, and much more. I really think the man has lost his mind, but before he regains his sanity, you'd better get in on this. I've already purchased the Package #2, and will not only have my 125x125 graphic on the main site, but an ad in the footer as well. Now, that's a deal.

Cool Blog About Clocks
I am the kind of person who always wants to know what time it is. If I don’t have my watch on, or a clock near me at all times, I panic. I’m always on the lookout for a new clock and have found a really cool blog that talks about nothing but clocks. I was really amazed at the amount of information I found on this site.
The site is called Clocks Blog, and I’ve never seen so much information on clocks before. This site has a huge list of categories, including posts on mantle clocks, grandfather clocks, and specialized brand name clocks. These people really know what they’re talking about, and they don’t just talk about the clocks. They offer posts about clock histories, ideas on which clocks work in which spaces, and they even offer some clock humor.
I really liked their idea of fitting an outdoor clock into the decor of your patio or around your barbeque area. I’ve never thought of putting a clock outside before. Cool idea. I recommend everyone check out Clocks Blog for just about anything you’d ever want to know about the world of clocks.

Getting in on the Second Act
As of February or March of 2009, everyone will need to have a television that is cable ready. No more old tv’s with rabbit ear antennas to pick up the signal. They are making products that will make these televisions compatible with all the new regulations, but there are other options. You can always go out and buy an new tv set. You can spend several hundred dollars and be the cool guy on your block, or you can check out Second Act and get your hands on a refurbished HDTV at the lowest prices possible.
Second Act is an authorized dealer of some of the top names in the electronics industry, including Samsung, Toshiba, and Hitachi. They offer some really great offers on LCD’s, Plasma’s, and even audio and video equipment. Check out their deal of the day section to get your hands on the hot products, or run over to their clearance section to get an additional 10% off their already low prices.
You can also sign up for their newsletter and get the latest information on any new or refurbished products they offer, get in on some weekly coupons, and be one of the first to have a chance at their deal of the day. If you’re in the market for a new television, then this is the place to go.

Domain Registration Site for Australians
Since I bought my very first domain name, I’ve found that not all purchasing sites are the same. Some are built more for hosting than for domains, some are full service websites that meet every aspect of a webmaster’s needs, and some are designed for a specific region or country. Payless Domains is one such site.
This domain registration site is one of Australia’s favorites. Not only do they offer inexpensive domain names, they also offer email hosting, URL forwarding, domain name parking, and much more; all at no extra cost. Choose from .com.au, .com, .net names.
Payless Domains hosting services offers 4 different levels, ranging from 1 GB of space up to 4 GB of space. This gives everyone a chance to establish themselves online. All pricing on this site is AUD, unless otherwise specified.
One thing of note about this site is how easy it is to use. As I went through the site, I found everything I was looking for in a matter of seconds. That’s something I always look for in any site. They place their pricing guide link at the top of the page where it’s easy to get to, they make it easy to register, and they tell you up front exactly what you’re going to get.

I'm beginning to get wrinkles
As I get older, I’m finding that I’m beginning to notice the little wrinkles and laugh lines that are forming on my face. I’m not one of those people who get all uptight about such things, but they are beginning to bother me a little bit.
I found a site called Skin RX Clinic Amazing Skin Care, that helps women with their skin issues. They carry a great line of anti-aging creams and other products that can keep the signs of aging at a minimum, and in some cases even reverse these signs.
In the sidebar of their homepage is a list of various skin problems to choose from. You just click on the problem, which in my case is wrinkles, and they show you a variety of products that will help with the problem. I was amazed at the fact that their prices aren’t that bad, depending on what the affliction is and which remedy you choose.
One thing I did find appealing about this site is that they will tell you exactly what is in their products, and what it does. They have a whole list of various ingredients and what their functions are with skin care.
They also offer a toll-free number you can call if you’d like to speak with a licensed esthetician, who will help you decide on which product and treatment is right for you. And finally, they will ship your products overnight, so you can start looking and feeling better right away.

A new place for bloggers to hang out
I kind of excited about this, as my friend Garry Conn had created a new place for his fellow bloggers to hang out and exchange ideas. It's going to be a place for beginners to learn from those who have come before, and a place for the probloggers to offer up tips and tricks on all aspects of the blogging process.
It's called The Bloggers Message Board, and that's exactly what it is. At the moment, it's still being perfected, but you can still register and get in on the first few conversations. This forum is still in it's infancy, as it's only a few days old. However, this could be a great place to pass along information and gain some new insights.
Though there is a section on how to make money blogging, this message board will focus on everything that has to do with blogging. Including where to find templates for your blogging platforms, tips for beginners and pros alike, and even a section devoted to writing. (Yeah!!!)
For anyone who posts blogging tips on their blogs, they find that their information is quickly pushed down as they continue to post. With a forum, all that great information can be brought to the forefront in a matter of seconds.
I invite everyone to come check out The Bloggers Message Board. No matter what level of blogger you might be, this is a forum for you.

Blog About Your Blog
I won another contest, however, this one was pretty simple. Every Friday, BlogAboutYourBlog.com has a "comment Friday" and one winner is chosen from all the comments from that week. That winner will have a link to their site listed on the site for one week.
I've been posting on comment Fridays off and on for a couple months now, but I've always been up against some stiff competition. So was the case this week, but the lady who should have won has already won once before, so I was the next in line. But that's ok, I am still honored to have won.
The best part about this contest is that it occurs every Friday. Anyone who leave a valid comment on that week's topic has a chance of winning. Matt, the site's owner, has always tried to choose a different winner each week, so if you've never commented on his site, or if you have and have never won, now would be a great time to give it a shot.
BlogAboutYourBlog.com is more than just a comment Friday site. During the rest of the week, there is a ton of very useful information posted by several different authors. I've learned a lot of blogging stuff that I didn't know before.
I encourage everyone to check out BlogAboutYourBlog.com, and be sure to leave a comment on Fridays for your chance at having your link displayed at the Blog of the Week.

First BAO website officially launched
Yes, boys and girls, I am very happy to announce that the Blog Authors Organization has launched it's first official blog. I'd like to invite everyone to come check out FamilySupportForum and welcome Mark Sierra.
Mark is the owner of the highly rated MeandMyDrum blog, as well as the FamilyWebWatch blog. Mark is a wonderful writer and a true family man. That right there gets my vote. When he joined with BAO, I knew we had a winner.
FamilySupportForum is a blog that offers advise on family issues, tips on saving money, and a whole myriad of other useful information. The blog was originally started by Garry's beautiful wife, Angie. So Mark is going to have to work hard to keep up with all her previous work, but I really don't see that as being a problem for Mark. He's a very talented writer and I'm sure he'll do an outstanding job.
Again, I invite everyone to come check out Mark's new blog. Congratulations Mark, we're proud to have you on board.

Attention Blog Authors
I have a new entry for my happy posts. My buddy Garry and I have created something wonderful and I hope you will all come by and take a look.
Ok, actually, this was Garry's idea, but between the 2 of us, we're going to try and make this into a wonderful thing for all bloggers. I'd like to introduce you all to the Blog Authors Organization. This is going to be a Blog Publishing organization for bloggers who are looking to make some money online by writing and publishing blogs.
Anyone can apply for this, and Garry and I are working on the details right now. Our dream for this venture is to bring blogging to the forefront of online media publications. This venture is still in the works, but we are actively seeking blog authors right now.
The best part about this is that there are a lot of blogs in need of good writers, and there are a lot of writers in need of a place to write. That's where Blog Authors comes in. Also, we are seeking serious inquiries only. We're not looking for stories about your sister's birthday party, but someone who can write about birthday party themes, as an example.
If you would be interested in something like this, let us know, and we'll get you listed. We are designing an application form right now, so as to make it easier for our bloggers. Please remember, that at this time, we're still in the beginning stages of this idea, but we will be rolling it out very soon.
If you're a blog author, this venture is designed with you in mind. For more details, check out Garry's announcement. This could be the beginning of a something wonderful.

I've been Flashed
Yes boys and girls, I just got done watching the pilot episode of the new sci-fi series, Flash Gordon.
Many years ago, in the late 70's or in the early 80's, someone made a movie called Flash Gordon and being the lover of science fiction that I am, I fell in love with the movie. When I heard that there was a series coming out, I had to watch.
So, here's my take on the first episode of Flash Gordon. The guy they got to play the part of Flash is perfect for the part. I like the way they've written his part, as there's just enough comic relief to make it entertaining, but enough intrigue to make you want more.
The character of Ming the Merciless SUCKS. I'm not at all impressed with the actor they've casted in this part. First of all, Ming should be sinister and menacing, and this guy is neither of those things. Second, he's short. The kind of person you'd see getting his butt kicked on the playground. They really screwed that one up.
The rest of the cast is pretty good. The part of Dale Arden was cast well, as the young woman playing the part is sassy, straight forward, and can carry her own, from what I can tell so far.
For the most part, I think this is going to be a fairly descent show and am looking forward to next Friday so I can see the next episode. If the pilot is any indication of what's to come, I think I'm going to enjoy this one a lot.

It's a dog's life
I received an invitation for a review exchange a few days ago and after checking out for a couple of days, I thought I'd better get my review posted. LOL
The site is called LOLDogs, and if you need a good laugh, this is the place to go. The post silly pictures of dogs and add their own slogans to each one. Some of the pictures are way too cute. This one is my favorite. LOL
One thing you'll want to be aware of is the fact that nearly everything on the site is written in computer lingo. I'm pretty sure it's done intentionally, and it does add to the personality of the site.
Another cool thing about this blog is that they accept submissions from their readers. However, be sure to read their guidelines before sending in your pictures.
This is a neat little site and good for a laugh. So, if you're having a down day and need a little something to brighten your mood, stop on by and LOL @ dogs.

Shameless self-promotion
Hey ya'll. I just wanted to invite everyone over to check out my other blog and read the interview I did with Matt Huggins. I've been a big fan of Matt's for several months now, and was so excited when he agreed to do an interview.
If you don't know who Matt Huggins is, or have never stopped by his blog, I highly recommend that you do so. Matt's blog is filled with ways of increasing your visibility on the web, as well as essential widgets/plugins that every blogger should have.
If you have a blog that is dedicated to earning money online or something along those lines, and would like to do a link swap with my other blog, just let me know and we'll see what we can work out.
If you've got a blog that isn't related to that topic, but are still interested in doing a link exchange, we can work with that as well.

I found a cranking widget
I found another contest that has me all a twitter. It’s put on at a site called Cranking Widgets and after checking the site out, I knew I had to enter.
The blog’s owner, Brett, has set up a blog on a topic I never would have thought of, Getting Things Done. It’s that simple. There are little tips on how to improve productivity, free software downloads, and few other personal ramblings that makes this blogger a bit more realistic.
The first thing that grabbed me about this blog was, of course, the contest. Now, as I’ve said in the past, I love a good contest. This one carries a $50 prize tag with it, and that really sparked my interest. The rules are pretty simple. Write a review of the site (200 word minimum), placing a link back to both the contest page and the homepage. This contest will end on August 1st, or when the site has received 30 reviews, whichever comes last. In the end, one review will be chosen at random.
I took my time checking the site out before making any decisions about it, and liked what I read/saw. It’s a fun site. Brett gives some pretty good tips on productivity, a few things I think I need to try myself. However, he also shows his personal side with his posts about his family.
Be sure to check out Brett’s bio. If you want to know why he named his blog CrankingWidgets.com, you’ll find the answer here.

This one carries a $50 prize tag with it, and that really sparked my interest. The rules are pretty simple. Write a review of the site (200 word minimum), placing a link back to both the contest page and the homepage. This contest will end on August 1st, or when the site has received 30 reviews, whichever comes last. In the end, one review will be chosen at random.
I took my time checking the site out before making any decisions about it, and liked what I read/saw. It’s a fun site. Brett gives some pretty good tips on productivity, a few things I think I need to try myself. However, he also shows his personal side with his posts about his family.
Be sure to check out Brett’s bio. If you want to know why he named his blog CrankingWidgets.com, you’ll find the answer here.

A "Sevenly" Contest
UPDATE: This contest is now over and I'm happy to announce that I won one of the consolation prizes. 3 winners were awarded $3 each and one winner that posted a review of the site won $10. I won the $10!!! Yippy Skippy!!
Be sure to check out Ryan's site as he's going to be holding another contest on the 13th of this month. Thanks again, Ryan. You're my hero!!
One of my favorite sites out there is a blog called ContestBlogger. As I was checking out all the latest contest posts, I ran across one that I just had to try out for.
The contest is put on by a site called Ryan444123.com. The rules are pretty simple for the most part. Here's the scoop:
The contest runs until 7:07:07 EST, on July 7th. 7 people will be chosen to win $7.77. You will receive 1 entry into the contest for leaving a comment on his site, 3 entries for linking to the site, and 5 entries for reviewing his site.
I ran through the site and quickly realized that it is simply a place for Ryan to let off some steam, throw out a few ramblings, and post a few sponsored posts. For the most part, it's a pretty basic blog. The only thing that struck me was his header quote. It reads "Let your couscous be your guide". Now I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time, but I think that should be "conscience", not "couscous".
Ok, that's just the editor in me. Little things like that just seem to jump out at me. Of course, it only works when I'm looking at someone else's work. For some reason I can't seem to catch my own typos.
Anyway, if you're looking for some offbeat ramblings, check out Ryan's site and get your entries in for the contest before it's to late.

Si-berville
It’s time to take another stroll down the virtual streets of the cyberhood and stop in at an old friend’s site. Welcome to the kingdom of AussieSire.
This Aussie bloke is one of the coolest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to befriend. He runs several blogs on making money online, but he adds his own unique twist to each site.
BlogSire is probably his best work to date. There is a lot of great information here, as well as a wide variety of sponsored posts. This is a true endeavor in earning a living from home.
One of his first sites was a blog titled "Well Blog Me" and is an eclectic collection of sponsored posts, political rants, and news items, with a few jokes thrown in just to make it interesting.
AussieSire is more than just your run-of-the-mill blogger. His sense of humor helps him create some of the best posts on the net. Stop by one of his sites and tell him I said hey!!

The world of silk
Remember Sesame Street? There was a bit they did on nearly every show called "Who are the people in your neighborhood?". From time to time, I'll be checking out the sites of the people in my cyberhood.
One of those people is a super-blogger called Silken. This girl totally amazes me as she runs 10 different blogs. I'm doing good to keep 2 of them going without getting totally lost.
A few of my favorite blogs of hers are Family Night and Rhyme Time. Family night is a great blog about things families can do together. One of the coolest ideas on her site is on bird watching. I would never have thought of that.
Rhyme time is a very creative blog in that every post is done in rhyme. It doesn't matter if she's doing a review of another site, or if she's creating a sponsored post, they're all done in a rhyming scheme. Now that takes some thinking.
Another really cool blog by silken is called "Did you know?". She starts each title with those three little words. I am truly inspired by this woman's creativity.
If you'd like to visit these, or any of her other sites, you can check out her little corner of the MyBlogLog world. I highly recommend everyone stop by and visit the world of silk.
