Not much in the week in review, as I have been working on hard on revising my portfolio. When I originally created it, I was really into the single page designs, but now I want to expand it to inlude more information and a blog on freelancing and the services I provide. Hopefully, the new design and content will be complete next week.
Ally McBeal
For any Ally McBeal fans who haven’t heard, the long awaited complete series DVD collection has just been released. I absolutely loved this show, especially the romance between Ally and Larry in the 4th season. So if you loved it, get the Ally McBeal: The Complete Series
This show also introduced me to Josh Groban. I had never been a fan of vocal / classical music until I heard this guy’s voice on Ally McBeal.

Lots of great stuff to dig into. The Joomla vs. Wordpress article is very interesting. I haven’t really dug into Joomla much but have been hearing more about it. Thanks for the great links and resources.
.-= Mike´s last blog ..35 Internet Explorer Keyboard Shortcuts =-.
Very much enjoyed that blog carnival post – been a while since I participated in one, and it was great to be reminded of the fact I should give it a try sometime soon.
I also liked the urban decay photographs; my favorite photographer is Shannon Doubleday, http://www.existention.org – her stuff engaged the theme of decay like nothing else when I first encountered it.
Still going through these links…

Hi Kristi,
Nice list. Loved many of the posts. And I have also added a few of the blogs that you have linked to my feed. Some are really good.
Cheers,
Ramkarthik
P.S: Thanks for the link to my blog post on managing information overload.
Kristi, what it all boils down to is – YOU ROCK GIRL! Thanks.
.-= Jonathan – Advanced Life Skills´s last blog ..Are You Pursuing Your Passion or Just Being Practical? =-.
what a great list. Thanks.
That’s a huge list of resources, especially the 30 wordpress plugins. I find that no matter how many I find, another useful one always pops up somewhere. My blog is probably a bit too focused on the flash games industry for you to list in these, but I did write an article recently about being your own boss that could be useful to everyone, even outside the industry. Nice list of resources, keep up the very nice work.
again great resources for Social media optimization nice fetching Friday i love the seven tips for social bookmarking thanks Kristi providing here!!
.-= SEO Company´s last blog ..Know the Role of Your Domain Age in SEO Ranking =-.
he he. Ally Mcbeal.I love this site
.-= Frank J´s last blog ..The World Market For Palm Kernel Or Babassu Oil And Fractions Thereof: =-.
Kristi, I am always wondering about this war between ‘Joomla/WordPress’ or ‘WordPress/Blogger’. Life is already complicated and I am for simplicity so simply people can try everything then go for what matchs them, as simple as that. Of course, nice FF and I wish you success on updating your portfolio!
.-= Hicham´s last blog ..Blue: A New Look =-.
yeah me too, I always wait for Fetching Friday posts , i m waiting to grab Ally’s Complete Series, also I loved you article on Jhoomla v/s Wordpress , since my subject is computer science, so i will always wait for your upcoming posts on computers, lolz
Hi Kristi – Thanks for the link
I’ve been on hiatus from blog commenting and am finally getting back into the swing of things.
.-= Kim Woodbridge´s last blog ..Theme Switch: Another WordPress Plugin for Theme Development =-.
I’ve just stumbled across the Fetching Friday concept you have running here – what a great idea!
Particularly like the “7 ways to have a successful social media profile online” topical stuff.
Now wading through previous Fetching Friday posts in search of more goodies.
Great stuff, keep it up!
Nice to have read the fetching Friday once more! And featuring Josh Groban makes the article so much more exciting. I so much like the social media portion especially the “10 Firefox addons and plugins for Twitter” and the “7 ways to have a successful social media profile”. I am looking forward to reading your next fetching article very soon. Thank you.
.-= Telesales Tips´s last blog ..Sharpening Your Consultative or ‘Needs Based’ Telesales Approach =-.
just found your Fetching Friday this is a lots of good links. I even can’t read that much in my 2-3 hours a week available to my “free” internet reading. I should at least retink the risk as your link about that say’s it’s probably not where I see it.
yup nice article specially blog post optimization it’s very important if you want some help from Search Engine so it’s major part of blogging thanks Kristi for great help…
