Blog Design Makeover

Hello dear blogging friends, how are you all this beautiful Monday morning?
It seems like the weekend just went by fast, didn't it?

Anyways, I'm playing around with my blog design right now- backgrounds and such, so if you see it look a little crazy here and there it's because I'm still trying to find what I'm looking for. Making it a little more fun and reflecting more of my style and something that will go with the current season.

If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to leave a comment here.

Happy blogging y'all! :)

No Wonder Why...

...businesses are paying these paid blogging companies like PayPerPost, Review Me, etc. to have bloggers like us blog about their products.

Here's a recent "Beauty Flash" article from Self magazine that I just read. I thought I'd share it since this all applies to us, bloggers.

Title: Wired Wisdom

Sixty-seven percent of women are more likely to buy a product if they read a positive comment about it on a blog, a message board, or an online social network, a study by the Benchmarking Company, a consumer research firm in Washington D.C., reports.

Hmm, no wonder why... businesses need bloggers like us. :)

I'm Launching A New Blog

Hello to all my blogging friends,

I'm excited to tell you all that my new blog is almost done and ready to launch in a few days. I have been busy developing it for about two months now and I'm pleased with the work I put in it. I had somebody help me design it also, but please watch out for it next week when I announce it. It will be exciting, but I may need your help with it.
I will let you all know. ;)

Blog Header

I get crazy sometimes with my blog header so now I went back to my old one. My husband doesn't think it's cool to post personal pictures online anyways so I think this will suit him. I mean, I guess he has a point. A lot of predators are online these days you never know. I was okay with it for a while but then I got kind of paranoid with strangers visiting my blog.

Anyways, most people love my old header anyways and I'm sure my friend Liza who helped me with new header design wouldn't mind the change.

Thanks again, Liza! :)

My Comments Section

Hey there my blogging friends,

I'm sorry I had to start moderating my blog comments. I've been getting some spam comments on my entries lately from sites I don't know.

I may have to install a new commenting system on here, like my other blog. I think that one is better in controlling spammers who visit and leave comments on blogs.

Page Rank Woes

I'm a little disappointed with my two active blogs' Google page rank. My other blog was a PR 3 after only 3 months since it was created. It was listed
under the Top 100 Money Making Blogs (not on top 100 but fairly close) when I had it listed, and now it is down all the way to PR 0! Ugghhh! I'm mad.
It seems like this never-ending 'Google wrath' on blogs accepting paid posts is getting way out of hand. I can't believe they would do that to my blog.
Then yesterday, this blog is down to PR 0 also from a PR1. Gosh. So now I'm starting to think how I'm going to get my PR's back. It is disconcerting.

I'm sure if you've been blogging for PPP like I do this happened to you too. What have you done to get your PR back for your blog or website?
