On Miscellanei (a moi)

It’s 2:40pm and I’m sitting in a coffeeshop. We won’t discuss why, okay? If you’re on twitter, I tweeted about it. (are those the appropriate verbages?). And I might have no minutes, or I might have an abundance, I’m not sure, so might as well hammer out a post for this evening, right? Since I have two other posts to write for another blog, and then, maybe, I should you know, write some more of the damn novel.
So, various not-so-important items on the agenda…
Blog design: Have you seen all of the changes this one’s gone through, design-wise? Seems like I’m flipping and sitting up until 3am retweaking it, every four weeks or so. But, I’m going to learn it, like the back of my hand, this coding business that goes along with design concepts. And I want guinea pigs. So, five people - four of which have spoken up, so really one more person - will get new designs, if they want em. Anyone interested? Update: Five people, five blogs, five guinea pigs. This is going to be fun!
Advertising: I’m going to try an experiment, since I loved what Rachel did in October so much. I’m going to donate all of Mommy is Moody’s ad revenue to a charity each month, for the next three months, beginning in December. I’ll also be throwing a button in the sidebar once we’re live, with a direct link to the charity of the month, so that should you click through, you could donate too and steal said button and look all giving and stuff. Regardless, I want people talking about this. Not me, but that all they have to do to help, is click on over here. December’s charity will be something in regards to suicide prevention. I’ll tell y’all why a little later on.
Words: Also in relation to advertising, I have another favour to ask. After those three initial months of ad revenue displacement, I’m going to be looking for private advertisers. And this is where you come in - I want to put up a page for wooing. And on this page, I want to include your opinion. Yes, I’m asking for a testament, of sorts - why you read and comment, what it is that might make this place a little special. I feel god awful asking for it - like I’m asking for ego strokes. But yeah, it’s genius, and I know a few women that it’s been golden for. Remember, the more ads I can get up, the more money we can give away. If you want to contribute any words, please email me.
Business closed. But let me leave you with this, the most descriptive photo of Isobel, ever:
Probably just as moody:

- So, who’s in? You’ve heard of NaNoWriMo, right? I’m doin’ it, Sarah’s doin’ it, Mr Lady’s gonna be doin’ it all month long....

I could use a redesign….but I’m really just commenting to stay atop your top commenters list. I wanna be number 1 in something!
I missed the whole Tweet thing and have no clue, but Isobel cracked me up. That is the cutest picture. Ever. And I love that hat.
Oh shit. I can’t let HM beat me at something. I must come back a few times a day to get on top.
Heh.
I missed the whole Twit thing, too, cause I was looking at whales. And Orcas.
Love the photo and I’ll try to think of something to say other than “ZJ rocks my socks off!”…You know…something people with money would think is sort of professional?
FUCK suicide - what about BlogHer??
Yeah, I’m totally selfish like that.
She takes after her mother, doesn’t she?

Hockeyman: Silly.
Maggie: She seriously picked the whole outfit herself and then argued for 10 minutes about the socks. What 2-year old decides to layer a baby-doll top over a l/s, with boot cut jeans and a skullcap? WTF?
AWLoN: You’re silly, too, then.
Ashley: Thanks, hun. I appreciate it.
VDog: yup. I won’t wear pink socks, either.
That is an expressive little girl. My Grandmother would say she’s “full of piss and vinegar”. Figures. I take a weekend off from blogging and look what I’ve missed. Aside from the fact that I don’t twitter because it’s a worse time soak than blogging. Micro blogging I think they call it. Like a chat room on steroids.
If you’d like a testimonial from me - you’ve got it.

looks like you’ve really gotten down to something you can be passionate about AND make money. a wicked combo. congrats.

Lou: she is totally full of piss and vinegar. Amongst other things. And yes, twitter and plurk can at times be like chatting on speed. That might be why I’m so attracted to them
Rachel: Any support you wanna throw over here is more than welcome. Really. Loved it.
rfc: kinda like what you’re doing. Now you just need to move here.
I say all the pwer to you and the ads… but why give away the funds? Is not the goal to be a professional writer? Keep your money!
oh, and what will your rates be? maybe I’ll advertise my blog or Coral’s or our blogs on your site? if the price is right
Good for you for picking up ads and donating funds! I’d love to do the same soon. I was hoping to do it for the holidays, but it looks we’ll have to pocket my google ad pennies
LOVE that shot of Isobel (and I love her hat).
