Finally joined Entrecard

April 25, 2008 by Tricia

Well I finally got around to joining Entrecard. I started yesterday and I’m happy to say that I’ve already seen an increase in visitors.

Of course to get visitors you also need to go around and visit other sites too. In my travels I’ve found some very interesting blogs. Right now I’m slowly going through the blogs listed in the Home and Garden category and I’m pleased to see that many of them are truly garden related.

I suppose I’ll eventually get some of my other sites listed in Entrecard, but I’ve only listed this one so far. If you’re visiting this site in response to my visit from Entrecard and you have a garden blog be sure to check out As the Garden Grows – that’s my garden blog.

The only frustrating thing about Entrecard that I’ve found so far is that if you’re like me and you have more than one blog – or a ton! and you’d like to list more than one site at Entrecard you have to set up a new account for each site. I’d love it if they’d allow you to list more than one site in an account.

Have you joined Entrecard yet?

BTW – Don’t forget to check out my Entrecard advertiser. My badge is just to the left in the sidebar. Todays renter is one of my new blogging friends. She has two blogs. I featured her main blog Roxiticus Desperate Housewives yesterday and now I have her Roxiticus Best Blogs site up.

I’ve already got renters/advertisers set up into May! I think Entrecard is going to keep me busy … as if I’m not already busy enough!

If you’re new here please stop and say hi. I don’t bite!

My email program keeps crashing

March 27, 2008 by Tricia

This is so frustrating. I use Eudora as my email program and for the last several months anytime I visit a website that has flash on it – say a widgetbucks ad or something else, heck even a YouTube video will do it – my email program freezes up until the next time it’s set to collect email.

It even freezes as I’m checking my email. As I said in a recent post I get about 25,000 emails a month (yes a lot is junk, but a lot of it is from the mailing lists I run, comments on my blogs or websites and from friends, family and business connections) so it’s really frustrating deleting five emails, having the program freeze, waiting for five minutes and then going back to approve a comment and so on.

I’ve gone to the Eudora site to see if others had this problem and I found that a few had similar complaints. I tried the fixes but they don’t work for me.

Does anyone else use Eudora? I’m using version 7.1.0.9. I think there’s an upgrade, but I have a feeling it won’t help. It’s got to be something on my laptop clashing with Eudora. I use Eudora on my desktop computer (maybe one version lower) and it doesn’t act up like this.

Now that’s a broken laptop!

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

00033625

What would you do if this happened to your laptop computer? Head over to a computer rental until you could get it fixed?

Maybe … but I don’t think this is anywhere near fixable. Maybe the hard drives data could be recovered, depending of course what exactly caused this laptop to break in half.

I think this person probably needs a new laptop, don’t you?

I think I’d be really stressed if anything happened to my laptop. It’s pretty much attached to me when I’m at home.

I was cringing the other day when I was watching Men in Trees and Marin’s laptop fell into her pond!

I love Dogs and I’ve found a great site for dog lovers

March 1, 2008 by Tricia

I adore my puppy. She’s become my new muse. I’ve spent an awful lot of time over the last three month researching everything dog.

Whenever I become interested in something I tend to do a lot of research on the subject. I go to the library and borrow books, I search the internet for more information on the topic and I also tend to talk to others that are also interested in the same topic. Often I read so much that I end up creating a website to not only discuss my latest intense interest, but also to create a place for others so that they can quickly learn all the things that I’ve learned on one site. I certainly did this when I became interested in reptiles! I’ve got two huge reptile related websites as some of you probably already know.

I haven’t gotten to the “make a website” stage yet and I may not this time round, but you never know. What I have been doing is visiting a number of dog and Labrador Retriever related websites, joining dog forums and reading up on dogs in general.

You might remember that my puppy was quite sick when we got her. I had to learn as much as I could in order to try to make her better. She’s doing a lot better these days. She’s still got some problems, but over all she’s doing quite well. I thank the many great sites that I discovered for helping me help her recover from her many ailments.

One of the sites that I came across along the way is the I-Love-Dogs.com website. If you’re thinking of getting your first dog or getting another doggy companion you can spend some time on the site reading the pros and cons of various dog breeds and of course looking at the many dog pictures that proud owners are more than happy to post.

I-Love-Dogs.com is a major dog portal where you can talk to other dog owners, discuss dogs in general on the forums, talk about your dogs health or behavioral problems or share some tips that have worked for you and your dog companion.

Along with the extensive dog forums you’ll find sections with dog games, lists of great dog names, free stuff for your dog, recipes for home made dog food, articles about dogs and dog training and many other great dog related categories. Heck you can even shop for supplies for your dog too.

If you are a dog owner you should take a moment to visit the I-Love-Dogs.com website. I’m sure you’ll find something there of interest and you’ll probably learn something new too.

A great Toronto search engine

February 17, 2008 by Tricia

I’ve found a great site to search for all things Toronto for those of you who live or who are visiting this great city. The site is called Toronto Major League Search and it’s easy and handy to use.

Say you need a cab and can’t remember the number for the cab company that you normally use, just go to Toronto Major League search and type in taxi or the name of the cab company and a results page will come up. You’ll likely be able to find the cab company that you’re searching for with a simple search such as this.

When you do a search you can also specify a location. For example I live in a part of the Toronto known as The Danforth so I did a search for Restaurants and I wrote The Danforth in the location area. This brought up about 6 pages of restaurant results. The various restaurant locations were shown on a medium sized Google map with the restaurant listings to the right of the Google map.

I did find that I got better results with my searches when I was more specific. For example I decided to search for Greek restaurants on Danforth Ave and more of the restaurant results seems to be on Danforth.

I do like that the site is tied in with Google maps. It’s nice to be able to see where something that you’ve searched for its located. It will save a lot of time in deciding which location to give my business to if I can pick one out easily that’s close to where I am.

Just like most search engines you can search for pretty much anything. give it a try and see if you find Toronto Major League Search helpful too.

Oh and if you know of a great business that should be listed on the site you can submit it using the link at the bottom of each page.
