Educational Diversions and Satisfying Sidetracks

by joi on April 30, 2008

EnjoyMy husband pointed out a few fascinating posts for me to read this morning before he left for work.  They dealt with blog themes, search engine optimization, and blog categories.  I’ve been thinking about using new themes on Self Help Daily, Get Cooking, and Out of Bounds.   They don’t seem appropriate for the Revolution Theme I talked about a few posts back, but I want desperately to give them a facelift!

 So my coffee and I sat down and started to read – well, I read, the coffee simply healed the morning.

Just as I was soaking up all the knowledge, my eyes began to wander around the sidebars….hmmm, lots of interesting stuff - blogrolls, links, pretty colors, ads… it wasn’t long before I found myself skipping over rock islands in the stream rather than sitting on the banks with my homework. 

It’s all good, though.  I’m on my way back across the stream now, heading back to the banks where the homework’s waiting patiently.  Along the way, I wanted to drop off a few interesting posts I found.  I know you’ll get a great deal out of each one.  Enjoy!

Why Envy is Your Biggest Motivator - This brilliant post is written from an entrepreneural standpoint, but you can get just as much out of it from a Self Improvement standpoint.  Great stuff, so read it carefully and soak up the wisdom.

How to Find Your Creative Zen - Another great read filled with tons of information.  If it doesn’t light a fire under you, you might want to check your pants…..they might be wet.

Stop Talking, from The Happiness Project - “Silence isn’t golden in every situation, because sometimes conversation is what a person needs…“  Read to find out when silence is EXACTLY what’s needed.

You’ll want to make each of the blogs part of your regular routine.  I spent quite a bit of time on each one’s rock island and found them to be of the highest quality.  The writing, the wisdom, the wit – each would be a perfect addition to your feed reader.
