Win up to $3000

June 22, 2006 by Tricia

Yes you read that correctly!

I was surfing on bl0gmad today and I came across a site with a similar post as to what I’m currently writing. Unfortunately I can’t remember who’s site it was that I was visiting at the time otherwise I would link to them. If I figure it out I’ll link. Anyway, the posting led me to another site created by John Scott. His site is called Internet Marketing Bl0g and back in March he decided to create a contest that would encourage other sites to link to and write about lesser known bl0gs. His post is called “Clean up on aisle three”.

You can enter his contest by making a comment on the Clean up on aisle three post. If your site qualifies you could win up to $100 just for entering and playing along. The winning site will win $3000! He plans to give away a total of $10,000 between the $100 winners and the $3000 winner. To qualify you need to link to, and write about other bl0gs that are not in technoratis top 100 sites.

Easypeasy for moi! I’ve been writing about and rating just about all the sites that have bid to rent my bl0g for several months now. Not only here, but on Odd Planet as well. Just look at my latest posts on this site and on Odd Planet. Ha! I’m in! 🙂

John’s contest officially began March 1st and he plans on announcing a winner and awarding the prizes 6 months after the start of the contest. So I think that would be about August 1st.

Since March 1st I have done mini-articles or added links in my posts to 163 sites. That’s only Tricia’s Musings total. On Odd Planet I’ve rated or linked 55 sites, plus another 17 in the one contest I ran over there. For a grand total of 235 site articles and links NOT counting all of the “Mr. Linky” Links on the Memes.

Have you been rating sites that you like, ones that bid on your site, or talking about sites that have interesting posts on your own bl0g? If you have you might qualify for this contest too.

Update – I removed the links in this post because I was unable to find a post about the winners of the contest so I’m not certain that this was a true contest. Might have just been a link baiting scam.

Interactive Jerry

June 22, 2006 by Tricia

Finally, it’s rent time again. I’m playing multiple choice again as well because so many of you want a spot on my site.

On to the business of the day:

I chose The write Jerry to stay with me for the week. I’d like to know if there is a “wrong” Jerry?

Jerry says:

In many ways, I’m like a lot of other people: I’m married, have a kid, I’m sometimes serious and I sometimes joke around. In other ways, I’m like nobody else. Read my bl0g to discover how different I can be.

Jerry’s site is fun, fresh and interactive. You could spend a lot of time there reading his latest posts and interacting with them. I particularly like “Twist my Words Thursdays”, but he’s also created Inkblot Wednesays which is always kind of fun as well. His other posts cover a variety of thought provoking topics and ask for his readers thoughts and opinions. Visit this site and engage your mind.

The other bidders, spreading the love:

Modern Princess – A very nice looking site. Love the header. This site is written by a pregnant mother to be and it contains information about raising children, advice, and interesting tales – not just about kids and pregnancy. It’s an interesting read, go visit.

Tiny Voices in my Head – I’m not that familiar with this site but after reading the first page I’m pretty sure that I’ll be going back for regular visits. What I saw was a number of humorous and interesting posts. Check it out for yourself.

Scottorama – interesting read – rants, humor, current topics with a leaning toward gay rights issues.

Dear Me – A variety of topics to be read here. Great photo’s, stories about rock climbing etc.

Just Dawn – Dawn writes about life, day to day happenings in her world and ours too. Posts hold the readers interest. Great site.

Grand-Pa – A humorous site with several jokes, interesting stories, the occasional interesting news story is discussed as well. I enjoy visiting this site as I almost always come away with a laugh.

Full Metal Photographer – I love this site. Kelly takes some great photographs. I make a pointed of visiting this site daily to see the latest beautiful picture. You should too!

My Life in Italy – She’s been living in Italy for 4 years but she’s not enjoying her stay. Visit her site to find out why life in Italy isn’t turning out as she thought it might. Oh and she’s also trying for a Guinness World record for the largest number of donations.

Long Slow Beautiful Dance – Always an interesting read. Laci writes about her day to day life, her job and career in a manner that holds the readers interest. Often humorous and entertaining. Go see.

Finding Fruit Cake – This site is fairly new on the scene. I enjoy Jenna’s writing style. I haven’t looked over the whole site yet but I like what I see. She talks about the goings on in her life – read her latest post about the three types of men she wouldn’t date.

Dark Marcy’s Attache – This is a brand new site. So far the writing is about current sports play-off’s such as the Stanley cup (next time Oilers!), and the latest soccer matches, and some hot topic news stories such as Korea’s missile testing. The writing is good and I’m sure this site will develop well as time goes by.

Recommended- This site discusses interesting computer software and interesting websites, she also recommends which bl0gs are good to rent from too (I think I’m included in that list. wink, wink ). Her latest articles is about a fast image rotation engine that sounds fantastic. Check it out.

Tricia’s Musings Moving!

June 14, 2006 by Tricia

I’m just about ready to start the process of moving Tricia’s Musings to it’s new domain address.

If all goes well this page will no longer be updated.

The new site address will be:

Tricia’s Musings https://www.feverishthoughts.com

I’ll put an automatic refresh on this page so that it will go to the new site after a few seconds.

If I’m lucky enough to have earned a space on your bl0groll or if you’ve bookmarked Tricia’s Musings please update your listings.

Thank you! and I hope to see you at the new digs soon.

Help! Need to move Data base

June 13, 2006 by Tricia

I’m in the process of moving Tricia’s Musings over to it’s new location https://www.feverishthoughts.com and I think I know what I’m doing. Maybe … we’ll see. Anyway, I’ve copied all of the files and I’m ready to move them over to the new site but I’m in the process of trying to move the sql database.

Any help out there? Do I just use the export function in phpmyadmin? exporting it to the new databases name?

The site is still going to be on the same hosting server. It will just be under a new domain on that server.

Another idea. Can I just use the change directory function in wordpress’ option section? Then move the files and somehow the magic within wordpress will let my sql database know that the address of the site is different but the data base should remain the same?

Is anyone out there? If you have tried something like this before, by all means help me out.

Thank you!
