SORRY BUT...

YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED BY THE SICKIES (again...can you believe it...i know...my kids get everything...and then are kind enough to give it to me)

NaBloPoMo

So it is finally that time--National Blog Posting Month. I am doing the posting at my freelanceing blog:http://kerithskorner.wordpress.com

For those that don't know what it is..it is the whole month of November. We bloggers pick one or several blogs and post everyday...and I mean everyday.

You can also check out my page in the NaBloPoMo at Ning.

I am going to do my best to still post regularly in my other 3 blogs, but if I don't, please still come and visit. It is only one month. Or just come and check out the freelance blog.Thanks for your support during this "trying" time--lol.

Kerith Collins

I am a stay at home mother of 4 kids, all age 5 and under, and including a set of infant twins (yea…i know…can you believe it). I wanted a place on the Internet where I could go for grown-up information and kid’s sites all at the same time but couldn’t really find what I was looking for. So I started a blog with that goal in mind. That quickly turned into 4 blogs with several in the works.

I am currently trying my hand (keyboard) and Problogging and freelance writing. I have a small portfolio at the moment but I am looking forward to finding work I am passionate about and creating a great body of work!

My problogging/freelance writing services are available.

If you would like to talk about rates, you can contact me through e-mail:kerithskorner@hotmail.com
Or you can comment on this page and I will get in contact with you.

I LOVE TO NETWORK!

Kerith's Korners of Tumblelogging.

I didn't really know what it was either until last nite. I was putting off sleep while blog surfing and I stumbled across several sites that were officially called microblogging or tumblelog sites.

1. Twitter.com
2. Jaiku.com
3. Pownce--waiting list to get on.
4. Tumblr--Larger than normal print--great for the grandparents!!! (my favorite but no button to put on my page. This one does have a link I loved it so much!
5. Sideblog--more of a photo blogging site.

The idea of a microblogging site is that you just put in a sentence or two of what you are doing at the moment (perfect for the gotta-have-it-now McDonalds time we live in). Just like a social site or a blog, you can add friends you have already and have the whole of cyberspace to make new ones. Twitter had a button that I have already put on my blog if you want to follow me there. Jaiku and Tumblr doesn't seem to have one but I will keep my eyes open for it.

Tumblr was my favorite.

• easy to read
• nice, friendly look
• ability to start private tumblelog for just you and invited friends...like grandparents that just want to keep in touch.

I thought these sites were facinating because as all bloggers know, short and sweet is king. It is a way to keep in contact with everyone you know. I don't know about you, but with 4 kids, keeping track of all of my "korners" on the internet, and family chores, I do not have alot of time of officially e-mail, post on my social sites like I should, write letters, or even call. And I have noticed that my in-real-life friends are having the same problems. I think this is a fantasic way to keep in touch, pure and simple. Now all I have to do is convince all of my friends.

P.S.--I did not add hyperlinks to the twitter and jaiku words. I liked these two sites and thought they could come in handy for parents or even some responsible kids. But I wanted parents to have a chance to check out the sites. No hyperlinks=no accidental clicks!

Kerith's Korners of the Fair

1. I love to play dress-up.
2. I always want to be a big helper.
3. Me sssssssssooooooooooooo sleepy!
4. I also love to put my mom's make-up on.
5. My dad takes off as soon as he hears grinding metal.
6. There is just so much to do and to buy and to eat and to see.
7. I just can't keep my hands off of old stuff!

I just love, love, love going to the fair. Now that I have kids, it is just a bigger reason I get to be a kid again.
