What’s going on in Jimi Morrisons Head?

February 1, 2007 by Tricia

I thought that it was about time that I spread a little bit more love throughout the blogesphere, so I’ve decided to tell you about one of my new blogging friends.

I met Jim about two months ago on the Payperp0st Forums. He was new to the forums, I believe, and he had some questions about Payperp0st, and about moving his blogspot blogs over to “Own Domain” locations. I tend to enjoy answering those techy type questions so I helped him out with some answers and before long we were talking on and off through the private message system. Let me tell you right now that Jim is the King of Private Messages!

Jim is catching up to me in the blogging department. He’s got 6 blogs now, and he does a good job at keeping them all current. I thought I’d introduce you to a few of his blogs today, so that you can enjoy his talented writing as well.

One of his blogs is called Jimi Morrison’s Head. No it’s not a fan site about Jim Morrison of the Doors, nor does he have Jim Morrisons head in his freezer. Well, I certainly hope he doesn’t! It’s actually a rather humorous site about the various thoughts that rattle around Jims head from day to day – some of the ideas or things he comes across are obviously good enough to get recycled onto his site.

The blog is similar in some ways to Odd Planet, in that every so often you’ll find a post about dumb people or odd news. One of my favorite posts that I discovered on Jims site is about leprechauns . It’s actually a video, but it’s about town folk who believe they’ve been seeing a leprechaun up in a tree. It’s hilarious. You really must go watch that video!

Another site of Jim’s is called Sir Post A Lot. I love the name of this site because it’s similar to a name I call my husband since he talks so much – Sir talk-a-lot. I think this is an extension of Jimi Morrisons Head as it also contains a lot of humor, and posts about interesting and sometimes unusual items. He’s got a lot of good jokes on that blog, ones I haven’t heard before like the one about the man drinking beer in the bar. Have a look and see if you can find something that gives you a chuckle over there at Sir Post a Lot.

Jim’s last site is fairly new and it’s about how people use the internet. From what I can see Internet. Serious Business takes a humorous point of view as to how people do things on the net. For example, in one recent post he talks about the use of terms like LOL and ROFL and how those terms are starting to be used in face to face conversations. Check the post out and leave him a comment. I’m sure he’d love your thoughts on the use of common internet abbreviations. I think this site will develop into a very helpful blog for both new and advanced internet users.

So why are you guys still here? Go on, visit one of Jim’s great sites and tell him that Tricia sent you.

Create your own avatar with the doll making game

January 30, 2007 by Tricia

Do you ever wonder how people make avatars to use for the gravatar.com photo in comments, or avatars that are used in forums, and side bars and in some cases even site headers?

It’s not all that hard really. All you need to do is go to a site such as Thedollpalace.com and click on Dress Up Games and start following the instructions to make your very on “doll” that’s dressed exactly the way you want him or her to be.

You can choose from a number of different doll types- Princess, New Emo, Fashion, Angels, Gothic, Celebrity, Halloween, Preps, mermaids, Christmas, Hippies, Thanksgiving, Shuni, Summer and Winter Fairies, Guys, Unique, Christmas and winter, Fairy, Pirates, original, Community, Emoz, Thematic, Babies, Greek Goddess, Diva, Bonita, Glamour, Goth, lolita and Silence doll types. Isn’t that an amazing number of choices that you can select from? If I’m not mistake you can even mix and match between the styles and doll types in order to create your own very unique doll.

A blogger that I know recently had an avatar contest on her site. She had people make up different avatars that she could use to represent her site, or herself on forums, and in chat groups and she recently picked a winner from all the submissions that she had. I can’t remember what her prize offering was, but it was a good one.

You could use an idea like that to get people to participate on your site. Contests are always a great idea on blogs. Anything that gets people interacting more often and visiting your site is always good.

Little girls always like dress up games and I’m sure you could amuse a child easily but setting them in front of the computer and showing them how to use the Dollpalace.com site. In fact you might be surprised at just how good they might be at creating new designs! Before you know it they’ll be hooked on Dollmaker.

Give the site a try. It’s easy to use because everything is drag and drop. It’s kind of fun too!

A site that’s just Neatorama

January 30, 2007 by Tricia

Early yesterday morning Anita from Say no to Crack introduced me to a great site. It’s called Neatorama. It looks like it would be a great site to visit daily.

When I visited the site I found a lot of interesting pictures, funny photos and stories, stories of the strange, and some cool gadgets too. I know that I’m going to be visiting the site regularly from now on. It’s great.

Say No to Crack!

January 29, 2007 by Tricia

Of course that’s a great thing to do – everyone should say no to crack … but of course that’s not really what I meant to tell you about.

I wanted to tell you that Anita, from the fantastically funny “Say No to Crack” site, has been nominated for a 2007 Weblog Award. She’s got a great site that’s guaranteed to make you giggle each and every day.

So, if you haven’t already gone to the 2007 Weblog Award site to vote for your favorite sites please do go, and while you’re there maybe you could vote for Anita’s Say No to Crack blog? It’s listed near the bottom of the page in the “Best New Weblog” category.

You can vote up until Friday February 2nd. Don’t forget!

Oh – Some of my sites were nominated in a few categories too – but I didn’t make it. So I’m throwing my support Anita’s way.

Free Crossword puzzles online

January 28, 2007 by Tricia

I used to love doing crossword puzzles online all the time. I guess you could call me a crossword puzzle junkie. I mean if I really let myself play all the time again. I used to do two in particular every day when I’d turn on my computer. Hmmm maybe now I can do that again.

If you enjoy playing crossword puzzles online you can at the Free Puzzle World. If you’re really daring you can even make your own custom crossword puzzles online. Then you can invite your friends and family to play your puzzle. This could even work if you were having a contest on your blog – make a really hard puzzle and the first person to prove that they completed could win whatever prize you are offering.

If you want to, you can place the code for your custom made puzzle onto your myspace page.

In the near future Free Puzzle World will launch a Free Crossword Puzzle Contest where the first person to successfully solve it will win great prizes. When they do begin their crossword contests you’ll have to register to become a member. You can also sign up for their mailing list so you’ll be notified as soon as their crossword puzzle contests start.

Have fun playing those puzzles! Maybe I’ll see you there.
