Ad Space Direct

My daughter has put together a small consortium of blog sites that will allow advertisers to deal directly with the bloggers to place ads at reasonable prices and cut out the middle men expenses of dealing with a broker.

The blogs are carefully targeted and present the advertiser the opportunity to select the blog or blogs that match their advertising interests. Each of the blogs is maintained with a high level of writing and creative content.

Do you enjoy quirky news stories. When I see one I usually just shake my head and wonder how such things get put on the air as though it is news. But the fact that I stop to watch and shake my head probably answers the question of why it was aired.

An Auspicious Award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been honored by the illustrious Pinhole with a ROAR award. One of the obligations as a ROAR winner is to share three writing tips and then name five other bloggers I deem worthy of the ROAR.


1. Write about things that you really interest you, not about things you think others will appreciate.

2. Be succinct.

3. Enjoy the process as well as the finished product.


Now to get the really good tips, check with these ROAR award winning bloggers:

Silken--the down to earth mom and wife who is far more talented a writer than she realizes!

Inklings--knows the craft and is always fun to read!

Sharon Hurley Hall--this lady is one of the most helpful and skillful writers in blogdom!

Getting Started on Publicizing My Blog

Beginning a new blog and trying to raise its profile in the virtual world requires a bit of homework, like posting a profile from Technorati so I can have the blog claimed. This is what this little post is intended to do. Of course it is always nice to have friends and other readers drop by technorati to make a new blog a favorite--hint, hint.

Family Fun Faith as a Domain of its Own

I began blogging about two years ago at the encouragement of my middle daughter. She had found a blog site that was a fun community called writing up. It is now defunct, but she and my first born and I have continued to blog in several different sites, but today is the first time I have blogged on a paid domain with my favorite blog identity, Family Fun & Faith.

I will likely make this my primary blog focus over the foreseeable future, though I will still show up in the old neighborhoods, to stay in touch with old friends.
