Yes, you can win chocolate, a copy of WD’s Children’s Writer’s and Illustrator’s Market (enough ‘s in there?), or a copy of Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List by Janette Rallison over at Janet Sumner Johnson’s fresh new blog. Hurry for this one! It ends midnight EDT, Wed, May 12.
Speaking of Janet and her new blog, I came across her post about her decision to split. This was rather timely because I just started blogging, and I quickly noticed some frustrating limitations with my current blog service. Now that I’ve checked out Blogger, I’m sold on moving my blog. My current service doesn’t allow me to change my CSS without paying for an upgrade. Me (single-wage earner) + five children + husband going to college = no upgrade.
However, I just about flipped somersaults when I learned Blogger lets you put in your own code without charging you. Plus I can now use Google Friend Connect, which Wordpress won’t allow (guess it makes sense; they are competitors). Well, WP, it was nice while it lasted, but you’ve lost me. My Blogger site is currently under construction, but I’ll post when I’m ready to move. Hopefully, this will make it easier for all you peeps in the blogosphere to find and follow me.
Google is awesome. Interesting post here by Eric at Pimp My Novel on Google Editions, Google’s answer to Amazon and Apple. What do you think about having over 4 million ebooks at your fingertips?
