You’ve got 2 B Kidding

September 25, 2006 by Tricia

I’m at it again. I finally decided to rent out some of my extra space to a deserving renter. I don’t think I’m going to rent every week. It’s a lot of work the way I tend to do it, but we’ll see.

I decided to rent out to a very creative blogger this week. The site appears to only be about two months old. I love the site design as well. Very easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye.

Yada Yada enough already, so who did I choose? Why it’s Doctor Mom from You’ve got 2 B kidding.

She’s got an interesting poll up on her site – pick your favorite idiot of the week from a group of four. Oh man that was a hard choice to make! Why don’t you pop over there and see if you think any of her choices should make idiot of the week?

The other worthy contenders for a piece of my lovely real estate were, in no particular order:

The Paranormal Blog – An interesting site that talks about hauntings, ghost sightings and other paranormal activities. Worth a visit, some of the stories are just fantastic. Oh yeah, and their from my own lovely city of Toronto.

Slightly Drunk – They just got satellite TV and there’s a big dilemma to resolve!

Am I famous Now – Wishing life were simple. It’s not, just when you think it is everything changes again.

Forever 17: She’s renting her space too and has a nice introduction for her renter, and in another post she’s dealing with an idiot.

Pathological Indecisiveness – Also pimping out their roommate in the current post. Lots of small posts on the first page to browse.

It’s Click and Comment Monday. The goal of click and comment Monday is for visitors browsing our blogs to visit either our current renter or another link from perhaps our blogroll. Once you visit the renter or your chosen link, visit that persons renter or someone from their blogroll. Leave comments as you go. Try to visit at least 5 sites in this manner, spread the love.

Please leave a link and a comment if you are a Click and Comment participant, oh what the heck – anyone can comment!:

Winsome Gunning art Walk

August 8, 2006 by Tricia

Say hello to my new renter!

It’s been a while since I’ve actually rented out space and I’m very please to have Winsome Gunning share some space with me this week.

The Winsome Gunning Art Walk blog is a showcase of personal art work by a very talented artist. Along with each piece of Art work displayed the artist included a personal introspective about the art work, or what was happening in her life at the time that brought about the piece being displayed. You can also learn more about various artist that she admires when reading her posts.

In her own words:

The paintings I produce are about working from the creative spirit within.

At different times themes emerge which I feel drawn to develop but always my work is about discovering this spirit and listening to its promptings.

It is a daily walk to keep myself clear of the blocks which stop me connecting to this creative flow.

Please stop by and say hello to the Artist. I know she’d love a visit. While you’re there check out her archives and see for yourself how talented she really is.

Thanks!

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.

It’s Pointless!

June 4, 2006 by Tricia

I truly believe you guys are trying to drive me mad.  Do you know how much I stress over choosing a renter?  Every time I put my site up for rent I wait until the middle of the night before I torture myself with making a decision.  Of course, since I usually wait until at least 12 hours have passed from the time I started the rental offer I seem to end up with 10 + bidders each time. That makes it even harder. What makes it really bad is that I currently have two sites that I put up for rent so I put myself through this twice a week! Arggh.

15 bidder this time round!

I took my time rating each site that had made a bid, but when I saw Pointless Drivel I think I knew that I would ultimately pick the fabulous Mr. Fab to be my roomie this week.  Now lately, when faced with an overwhelming amount of bidders I’ve either chosen the site that bid first or whichever site appeared to be younger than the rest or in need of some promotion.  If I had done that this time round I certainly would have picked Evolution of Gina as it is the youngest site.  Gina and all the rest, please forgive me and bid again. I just had to go with one of my fav’s this week.  Sorry!

Pointless Drivel has quickly become one of my favorite sites to visit daily.  Why? Well because you just never know what the heck Mr. Fab might be talking about that day and you just have to know, that’s why.

His audio posts reading out his dramatic versions of popular songs are hilarious. As are his posts about his fascination with lemurs and by-products of lemurs, virtual sisters, co-workers, outings with his wife.  You name it, whatever is happening Mr. Fab has something interesting to say.  I won’t even go into his posts about his body parts (nipples for one!) or the ones about being a metro-sexual.  You’ll just have to find them and have a good laugh when you do.

Now to spread some love, if you have the time, after you’ve visited my newly chosen renter of course, why don’t you take some time and visit these wonderful sites:

Luka’s Incogbl0go – A personal site about the owners day to day life. One of the things that I like best about this site- other than the owner herself who seems to be a very nice person – is that she opens up her site to others on the last Friday of every month so that people can come on and write guest posts.  It’s a fantastic idea.

Modern Princess – A well written site that contains stories about the owners family life, kids, general observations and some absolutely fantastic sounding recipes.  Her latest post is a recipe for stuffed and roasted strawberries that sounds wonderful.  Oh they have chocolate in them, even better. Yum!

Adventures in Cyberia – Interesting site! The creator has built this site by creating alter egos of real life bl0ggers using sims2. It’s like a soap opera or day time drama.  Check it out.

Scooter McGavin’s 9th Green – Scooters currently renting on my other site Odd Planet right now. If I didn’t choose him for that site this week I probably would have picked him to rent here this time around.  He’s a persistent guy! Bids just about every time I tell ya. He does discuss popular television shows, Movies and new music on his site. He’s currently rating the best of Prince. I must admit that I think Prince is a talented artist so this was an interesting read for me.

Backyardigans Fan – Well, I have to admit, as a person without children, I had no idea what the backyardigans were until I looked at this site. If you are a parent with young children who enjoy the backyardigans or if you are a fan yourself then this site is for you as it’s everything backyardigan.

Utenzi – This popular site has great writing. Utenzi talks about life, day to day goings on, discusses products, software, movies – well a whole variety of things! It also appears that he’s a kayaker, which is something I’ve never tried, but since I love canoeing and whitewater rafting too he must be a good guy. He does wonderful write ups on his renters and some of his bidders too.  Seems like an all round great person and his site is a worthy read.

Green – Great site.  I’m still trying to figure out why it’s called green? She also has one called Purple. I enjoyed her recent rant post about people rubbernecking and gawping.  Yes that’s a word.  Go see!

Meltwater. Torrents. Meanderings. Delta. – For a guy who’s just injured himself badly and ended up separating his shoulder he’s sure pumping out the posts this week.  Must take him forever, but he’s doing it. Matt’s latest post is a beautiful photograph that you just have to see.  It’s breath taking. Matt’s site is another one that I read regularly. He writes on a wide range of topics from humor to nature, to observations about society. Always a good read.

Useless Advice from Useless Men – The useless men are at it again.  You have to visit this site. People write to them, asking them a question that they long for an answer to and the useless men give their advice, often with hilarious results. I love visiting this site as it always makes me laugh.

Just Jill – This site is new to me, although it appears to have been around for a while. I really enjoyed one of her recent posts where she talked about who she was 10 years ago and the changes that have taken place in life since that time. This site is worth keeping an eye on.

Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance – I like this site.  The posts are fresh and interesting. Laci was in a car accident earlier this week and now she’s lamenting about the joys of living without a car while hers is in the shop being fixed. Take a peek.

Evolution of Gina – This appears to be a brand new site started near the end of May. I’ve never seen Gina’s site before but I’m pretty sure that I’ll be going back for a visit now and then.  She’s living in a small town and making her way in life. She’s written a few poems and talks about her life and the people in it and of course discusses some of the joys of living in a small town.  Check it out.

The Invisible Bl0gger – This site is fairly new to me but it’s quickly gaining my attention.  I enjoy the writing style. This southern lady seems honest and puts herself out there for others to see who she really is.  She has a wonderful post about being from the south and it made me laugh. I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Dr. Wickidy – An entertaining site about the adventures of Dr. Wickidy in his wacky world. Each post is another adventure in the on going story of Dr. Wickidy.  Readers get to participate by voting on what might happen next. It’s a fun site that should make you laugh.

The Daily Dump

May 29, 2006 by Tricia

No, that’s not the name of a new regular feature on this site. Nope. It’s the title of a new site that I spent some time looking at on Sunday.

The site owner, Chris, stumbled across my site after he’d visited one of my landlords – Mscateyes. He took the time to stop and write a nice comment inquiring about renting on my site. His site is new and he’s not been accepted yet on BE so he can’t start getting his site viewed by BE members, and he can’t attempt to get a rental spot yet either. So he was trying to figure out a way to promote his site via rental and decide to write to me about it.

He was in luck! I was in a very helpful mood and I replied back with information about all the other traffic engines that I use to promote my own sites.

Since I’m in a generous mood I decided that I’d let my visitors know about this new site.

The Daily Dump is a site comprised of a number of regular writers. Their styles vary, but seem to mesh together well enough to make quite an interesting read. Considering that there are so many contributors to the site, each with their own style of writing and topics that they favor I’d say the Daily Dump has something for everyone.

Why don’t you pop in and take a peek and see if you like the Daily Dump? Let Chris and the rest of the gang over there know that Tricia sent you.
