I woke up this morning and decided that wombatcombat.com would be a fun name to own, but someone else beat me to it. I don’t know what I’d do with the name once I owned it, but that’s never stopped me from buying a domain name before.

Someone recently asked me how many domains I own, and I honestly don’t know off the top of my head. I have a list of some of them on this laptop, but the main chart is on my big girl desktop that I don’t use that often any more.  I guess I could sit here and try to count them all, but that’s no fun. It’s enjoyable to me to find them and buy them, everyone has to have a hobby, right? Some people collect stamps, some people collect recipes, and I collect domains.

I’ve been thinking about doing some blogging for pay on this blog. Not necessarily for the money, but committing to blogging for money seems to encourage me to write non-sponsored posts as well.

I just need to find a company that’s a good fit for me. I don’t think I’ll be doing any writing for the one I used to write for. Gosh, I just logged in there and saw that when I was writing for them, I took 548 ops from them. Haven’t taken any since last year though. I don’t like the way the company treats the bloggers, they seem to throw the bloggers under the bus with careless impunity.

For example, although I haven’t taken any ops since October 07, one of their advertisers banned me in MAY because I removed a post.   So, this means I gave this guy over six months of link juice, yet he banned me because I got rid of the paid post after having it on my blog for months. Btw, I don’t even remember which post I deleted, I haven’t removed a lot of paid posts, mostly because I’d rather not deal with cleaning up all 548 of them.

Instead of committing to blogging for pay, maybe I’ll commit to removing all the 548 paid posts I did for the company I’d rather not mention. I find it ridiculous that they don’t seem to do anything to safeguard their bloggers, yet the owner of the company claims to love everyone. Sorry Ted, if you love the bloggers, then stand up for them and don’t let the advertisers walk all over them.

Horse owners, watch out for the Amsinkia intermerdia Common Name: Tarweed & Fiddleneck weed. I just read a very informative post on on the blog of Sensation Sport Horses, talking about how this is causing great problems for some horses. The article’s very concise, so if you own a horse, read the article carefully and if you have any concerns, make sure to bring this up with your veterinarian

I don’t know how much time I spend looking at various dashboards of my various blogs, but i sure wish I could find something that made the inside of my blog as pretty as the outside of my blog. I was thinking of posting this question at Ask Owen because he is so good at answering questions and has made a few terrific plugins as well. Between you and me, I think Owen’s probably one of the most knowledgeable bloggers around and should be on everyone’s “must read” list.  He truly deserves A List status in my opinion.

Maybe I will post my question there later on, because I sure would love to see something different for a change. However, everytime I visit his site, I get so wrapped up in reading his posts that I forget to ask anything till after I’ve logged back into one of my blogs. Like just now, I read his post that’s titled, “How can I get a Gmail user’s Full Name?” and think everyone with a Google account should check out this important post. I’d love to say more, but I’m off to check my gmail accounts….

Later, Taters!

Just not on this site. Which is kind of strange, because this is my favorite one of all, the one most like me. I’m hoping to get back to it soon, but every time I log on, I think of all the nofollow stuff that still needs to be done, then I wander away and go do something else that needs to be done. Sigh.

I had more to write, but of course, the phone’s ringing….

I have never been good at 3-D puzzles, and this one is no exception. I had the choice between writing a side-splitting post and trying to unlock the secret hidden message.

Anyone have Nicolas Cage‘ email address?

Good news, Supernanny will be in the metro Phoenix area to hold open auditions this Sunday. They say they are looking for a wide variety of situations, whether its a set of divorced parents, parents of bullies, or if you’re preparing for a large event like a family reunion. The Stagebrush Theater, at 7020 East Second St in old downtown Scottsdale is hosting the event. (Hmmm…. if I were to offer to drive my neighbor, I wonder if she’d be willing to go……….)

If you’re interested, call their toll free number, 877-NANNY-TIME (877-626-6984) to make sure that AzCentral.com posted the correct information . I just checked the official website and there was no mention of any open calls in Arizona, but then again, maybe their web master misbehaved and is spending time in the naughty chair.
