Week in Review

This week, I have caught up on my posting schedule with the following:

Preview for the week of 6 July 2009

Next week’s photography will be images I took several years ago at various furniture markets. I found looking through those photos that I was experimenting with macro photography long before I knew the official term for it.

Next week, in continuation of the Benefits of Blogging series, I will cover how blogging gives you the ability to become an authority on a particular topic.

New Moon Parody

Thanks to the upcoming movie, G-force, guinea pigs are becoming quite popular. Here is a parody of the New Moon trailer… you’ll love the guinea pig cameo.

*Warning* If you’re sensitive to fake blood scenes, there is a part in here that over-dramaticizes the papercut in the New Moon trailer.

  1. Hey Kristi,

    I started to look at the watch waiting for your Fetching Fridays, I think you started some type of addiction here :-) Once again, thanks for the link love and I do remember your article about what to do when you can’t do it all, I really related to that one.

    Have a great week-end :-)

    A very nice inventory as always. I was going to write about the Google Algo change on backlinks according to the article you have called “The big Google Pagerank slap”, but will leave that for another day. :)

  4. Hi Kristi,

    I think Dragos said it well it the first comment. You seem to have created a bit of a phenomenon with Fetching Friday. Lots of people compile resources, but there is something holistic and synergistic about the way you do it. Anyway, I would rather enjoy it than analyze it. Thanks for another great edition and for the link love.

  5. Just looking over the links, I see some blogs I never been too. I will head over to them right now. Thanks for another great Fetching Friday.

  30. Kristi, thanks for the list. I like how you have organized them by category. Since I blog mainly about the finance niche, I’m glad you made a specific category for that. Very helpful! I’ll be back next Friday ;)

    The Gooroo @ Finance Advisory Stops last blog post..Using Yahoo Answers To Promote Your Blog Or Business

  31. I’m starting a blog with a few friends. We would need multiple account access, ability to bring in custom graphics and art and monetization/adsense. I’ve looked at typepad a bit, but am concerned that it may not allow for much custom design look-and-feel. I really want the blog to look unique. At the same time, we are not all that techie, so an easty-to-use solution is important too. Also, when I try the trial it looks like it only supports one account? (I’d need multiple accounts). Thanks in advance for any and all help!

  32. Goodness, how long does it take you to put all that together? Thanks!

  33. Great list Kristi, I liked the Free directories with high Google PageRank link, some of the website and directories I knew before, but the list is a very good one!
