Friday Smorgasbord post!
- This is pretty cool. No, no. It’s all kinds of cool. You know the little icon beside your name when you leave comments on blogs? If you don’t know, shame on you! Get busy! You can create your own (actually as many as you want, as long as you have an e-mail for each one) at Gravatar.com. It’s as easy as falling on ice. You sign up for an account, which takes all of 2 minutes. They’ll e-mail you a link to use. Follow said link to a page where you’ll upload the picture you want as your gravatar. They’ll tell you what size it needs to be, etc. Then, whenever you comment on Self Help Daily (okay, okay, any blog), your individualized little picture will show up beside your name. You can use a photo of yourself, a cup of coffee, a pet, a symbol, etc. You’ll never guess what I use for one of mine. Okay, you guessed. Polar bears. To see it, click on the previous post and scroll down, looking for my name. Cute, huh? I also have icons that I use along with other e-mails/for other sites. One is an orange cat sticking his tongue out (why not?), one is my beautiful cat Alexa, one’s a Starbucks cup and one’s a purse. These are a few of my favorite things…
- Speaking of commments… check out the comments in the blog post Meet Your Truest Self Author Janice Lynne Lundy. There are some wonderful tips and links within the comments. Great stuff !
- Tomorrow morning I’ll be adding a review to the site for the wonderful book Road Rules. This is one very special book, so be sure to check it out. I’m normally not a very fast reader (with my penchant for taking notes, I’m pretty slow actually) – but my pen and I cut through this book like a knife through soft chocolate. Hey, cut through butter if you want to, but I’m going with chocolate.
Have a great weekend and if you haven’t already – go see Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood and his beautiful young co-stars are breathtakingly brilliant and the movie will blow you away.
