Follower

Yay I have a follower. Thanks evilcraftlab.
Etsy sellers have been really supportive of my blogs lately. I think everyone just about on Etsy has discovered the value of social networking on sites like blogger, gather.com, ning and Twitter. Everytime I'm in a chatroom within minutes someone will ask if anyone has a blog, and then the url trading begins. I blog every day and I use Twitter.com every day. Those are the two big ones for me.

Being a better blogger.

I've been very busy trying to stay out of the sweltering heat and humidity of July.
For the rest of you on Blogger, you may have noticed you don't get that many readers. Today I found out that if you go to Settings and then Publishing, there is a button that allows your blog to be pinged. Some of mine were set to 'yes' and some to 'no' so it's no wonder people weren't seeing my updates. Check yours and set it to 'yes' if you want blog pinging software to find you and let people know when you've published something new.
I also signed up for Technorati.com and made a watch list so I could see what people were saying about me, my shop and my life. Just remember if you talk smack about people it may get back to the very person you were talking about. Especially if you call them by their real name, their screen name or their on-line store name. And things your write on the internet can stay online for years and years and years. So use some wisdom there.
