I want the Studio in the Hip Echo Park District

Labels:


After much careful consideration and searching through studio or small apartment listings in LA, I found an area that suits my tastes very well. The Echo Park District is within close proximity to arts buildings, coffee shops, restaurants and the park. These are all the things I admire in a community that I would enjoy. I can call the Los Angeles Movers as soon as I find out if the cute pink cottage pictured above is available.


You know what? This one story little cottage sure does ease my earthquake in Los Angeles since its only one level. If my husband agrees with my apartment choice he can call the number for the Movers Los Angeles who was recommended by some friends. A lot depends upon the decision we make regarding our project in Los Angeles whether we make a move for one year or just rent a studio for a few months at a time. We could be traveling among several states so that's a question that's still up in the air.  I'm a little torn about the idea of living in such a big city in California or moving to a quaint cabin in the Rockies and traveling. I'll call the LA Movers to get an estimate so we can talk about the total cost. It's an exciting venture either way. Maybe we'll become LA suburbanites, you never know!

Is there a Proper Form for Leaving Comments?

Labels:

This is a question I have often posed but I have not found one suitable answer. So I am exploring this puzzle in hopes of providing good information.






Goal Setting for Blogs is very Important

Labels:

If you don't have a plan already, create one. Don't worry, you can edit later. You can also change your mind on certain plans to a degree. Just commit some strategy and a few big goals to paper. This will drive your vision for your blog forward.






8 Sources for Blog Topics

Labels:

Frequent Bloggers who write professionally often struggle with producing blog topics. There are days for me that seem as if there is just nothing new under the sun to write about. Other times I see the same topics written and rehashed by hundreds of sites and I tell myself that I don't want to hang in with the crowd. Popular content for the day is not always the best topic to choose for your blog. I find that my mood reflects what interests me on any particular day so tap into that inner source and go for writing about your passions. Brainstorm and write whatever comes to mind. You'll be surprised how many topics will develop this way in a matter of minutes.


For those off days when the hot topic of the day doesn't suit you and your mood is off kilter so that nothing seems to resonate, I give you some tips to pull you out of the funk. Try these methods and see if it helps. I'd love to hear how your experience goes so drop a comment sometime to let me and my readers know how you develop your blog topics.


Search Engines: If you are inspired, type in some keywords about a subject and see how many links appear. If there are not too many articles written on your choice of the day, then come up with an angle, get passionate and write about it. If you have no idea what you are trying to find, then type the first set of words up to five maximum and see what comes up. Do this two or three times if necessary. You'll be amazed how quickly this will spark ideas for your blog.

Twitter: The effervescent Twitter is always a sure thing for me. I just type in the search bar "trending topics today" and let the streams of ideas fly before my eyes. I have trouble choosing so some times I use this method to create blog topic titles for multiple posts on multiple blogs. Then I go back later to brainstorm the articles that match the title. It's a fun sort of mad hatter way to write but it gets very creative and helps me to step out of my comfort zone.

FacebookEvery blogger who is a serious professional freelance writer needs a facebook account. There are two writing tools that I consider essential: Twitter and facebook. I mean, isn't every one using both these social mediums to communicate to the world? This will get you noticed. Now how to find topics using facebook...scan your friends to see what they are chatting about. Select a common topic and create a blog post about it. Perhaps your friends are posting thoughts and questions back and forth. You can expound on the topic by relating thoughts in depth and by answering a list of questions on the same topic. Then send a message to your friends on facebook with a heads up about your post. Don't forget to tweet it, too!

News and Current Events

Personal Life - This might surprise you but your life is a wealth of events, thoughts, ideas, people, places and things. Tap into this endless resource and you will never want for blog topics. Try an experiment. Get a blank piece of paper - a very large piece of paper...OR....open the notebook on your computer and start thinking about your life. Let your mind wander. Write the first thoughts that come to you or the first event you begin thinking about. There are no boundaries and no rules here. Brainstorm. Remember. Question. Ponder. Daydream. But write it all down. Don't worry about punctuation or sentence structure. Just let if flow naturally and spontaneously. Do this once a week religiously. Time yourself for perhaps fifteen to thirty minutes. Save all your scribbles. Now look at your notes and start writing down every lucid thought, topic, full sentence, title idea or paragraph. You should have enough blog topics for at least a month if you write two to three times a week.

Now you can Access an Online Repair Pal

Labels:

The internet provides handy access to almost anything these days and auto repair shops is one of the essentials that people commonly use. It isn't always easy to find a reputable mechanic or a repair shop that meets your needs. Now you can access an online repair pal via the internet and its available on your iPhone, too. Imagine being in a big city like Chicago when your car breaks down. You don't know anyone and you have no idea who to call in the dozens of listings in the yellow pages. So you reach for your laptop or your iphone and look up Chicago auto repair shops that specialize in computer glitches for the latest model Toyota Corolla.

Voila! Ten listings come up in the search but only two specialize in your make and model of car. You can easily run a price comparison then call the phone numbers provided for the two available auto repair shops to find out who can service your car first and for the best price. The tow truck can be there in minutes to get you off the highway and back in service. It was all made possible because of one handy website and the internet. Don't you just love technology?

While a computer glitch in your car might be a job for a trained professional, there are other parts that can be repaired or replaced on the spot. If you're not a mechanic or even a good "fix-it-joe", don't worry because this online website gives detailed descriptions on how to fix certain vehicle problems. One of the most common and possibly one of the most troublesome repairs is the water pump. Granted, it is not as simple to replace as a battery or a distributor cap but it can be done on the road side if you need to fix it right away. Make sure that you consult the directions if you have never replaced a water pump because my husband has experience and he recommends that you get all the needed materials. A list of what you will need is included in the website repair details so you'll know exactly what you need before you begin. Enjoy your travels in more confidence with your new travel buddy.




What is a Blog Disclosure Policy and Why do you Need One?

Labels:

Simply stated, a Blog Disclosure Policy informs your readers that you sometimes write paid reviews that may or may not reflect your personal objective opinion. Avoid offending your readers by showing up front that you are a paid writer who receives compensation for some of the material published on your blog.




Look for this image in the sidebar any time you want to read it again. It's easy to identify and very quick to find. That is very important for your blog audience and any prospective clients that you may have or gain. Write a simple policy in easy to read language that clearly states who you are, what you right, why you write about certain topics and who influences your writing.

Why do you need a blog disclosure policy?

Aside from the obvious reasons stated above, it is now required by the FCC and other federal regulations. Most Blog Companies who hire freelance writers will require you to post a disclosure policy on the main page of your blog, preferably the sidebar so its evident on all pages.

It's really not such a big deal but compliance with this courtesy rule keeps you in humble favor of your readers and the law. DisclosurePolicy.org guides you through this process with ease so use their formatted template to create your own policy today. Publish it as a blog post then create an image that links to that blog post and place it in the sidebar. Voila! Ten minutes and you're done, for the life of your blog. Why not create yours today?





Austin Family Dentist treats patients with Caring Hands

Labels:

Austin is a big city but it is one of my favorite stops when I visit Texas. It's hard to find a dentist in such a big city unless you're familiar with the city or you have friends who can make a recommendation. Whenever I want to find a dentist in a city that I plan to visit, I resort to the internet for my search. That's how I found the family dentistry practice that gave me a comforting feeling when I read their front web page dedication. They promise to treat people the way they would like to be treated and that's good enough for me. When I return to Austin, I'm putting  Dentist, Cedar Park TX
at the top of my recommended list.

They've been in practice for 25 years so they are dedicated dental professionals. The website boasts that they are family and kid friendly. Located in a beautiful office, the atmosphere is uplifting. That's another bonus because I prefer aesthetic surroundings when I am facing dental work.  According to their website, they accept all types of medical insurance. That is good information to be verified before you make a trip away from home. Emergencies come up so its best to be prepared and you never know when you'll need a dentist if you travel. Mark this family dentistry in your travel book as one of Austin's places to remember.





20 Posts are the Magic Number for Pro Bloggers

Labels:

20 is the Magic Number!

Professional Bloggers need to set this number as their goal posts for every 90 day period to maintain qualification standards.

If you are a professional blogger who writes for blog companies, then you understand this important number 20. Most companies who manage networks of writers to write content on their personal blogs on behalf of paying advertisers require 20 posts every 90 days in order to stay on their roll as a blogger for hire. If you keep this minimum flow of posts in the set time period, then you will stay in good standing with potential advertisers. Keep in mind that some of these advertisers will become fond of your style or your blog and retain you often, so maintain at least the minimum limits. I recommend that you go beyond the standard and keep your blog up to date by posting two to three times per week.
