Doritos and MySpace.com are sponsoring a contest - Crash the SuperBowl Sweepstakes. There are three finalists, all hoping that their song and performance will win them a chance for a record contract and a 60 second video to air during the SuperBowl. My favorite is Kina Grannis. One, because I like her entry and two, because she also did an awesome tribute to Digg! To vote you must log into your MySpace.com account first and then go to the contest page. By voting you also are entered to win some great prizes!
I was reading all the posts in my Google Reader today (there were over 350 of them) and I found one that caught my eye. Daily Blog Tips posted an article “10 Simple Productivity Tips for Bloggers.” All of the tips are really good, so I encourage you to read them, but the one that caught my eye was the first one: Write more than you publish.
There are some days that I have nothing to say. Nothing. It really takes all my effort to go to the computer and write a few posts. Other days, I have all these ideas running around in my head. When those ideas are available, I start a post. I don’t publish it, but I save it for later. When I have time, I finish the post and publish it. Sometimes, I delete the post cuz it really wasn’t a good idea after all.
Here is my tip: When you have an idea, start a post. Even if it is just the title. This will help you when you have those dry spells!
I just downloaded muveeNow 2, a simple program that will let you make slide shows with music and effects from your pictures. The best part is, I got it for free! I downloaded it from Giveaway of the Day (see my sidebar). It is only available for 12 more hours, so hurry! Here is the slideshow I made and it only took me 10 minutes!
Now that I am using Entrecard quit a bit, I have come across some great blogs, so I thought I would share them with you. This first blog is Saphrym.com. Saphrym is a father, husband and teacher who is also on a dieting quest. In fact, he has lost over 70 pounds so far! His posts are well written and interesting.
I was really moved by his post about why he is dieting in the first place. His reasons include being there for his wife and daughter and being able to walk his daughter down the aisle. There are no better reasons, are there?
Saphrym is also hosting a contest on his blog and is giving away $250 and 1000 Entrecard credits. The contest ends on February 27, 2008.
