Title: 7 Blogging Tips

From: Who Will I Drink Tea With?: 7 Blogging Tips
If you want people to comment more on your blog...

1. Put the comment form at the end of your posts. Never have it where it pops up, or where to verify it pops up and reloads the page.

2. Allow anonymous comments. People stumble upon blogs often, yet are not members of blogger. Make it easy for them to comment!

3. Allow people to post using a name and url. People like to promote themselves, and again, may not have a blogger, or don't want to log in right now.

4. Get rid of the verification captcha, if you're not one of those hugely popular blogs anyway who get thousands of comments a day. Then make it so that comments on entries over a week old are moderated- those are the ones more likely to be hit by spammers. Verifications take time, and many people just can't be bothered.

5. Post about things that people care about or could have an opinion on.

6. Comment on other people's blogs.

7. Get genuine followers. Don't participate in 'follow for follow' deals- you want people who are actually interested in you.

#7 is so spot on. Girlie doesn't do 'faux followers'.

I need to say this-I'm NOT a dress your dog up kind of person. Lookit, I know you've seen shots of G in a track suit-which he attempted to eat-and in a tutu-which he also attempted to eat...I'm really NOT a dress the dog person.
He was cold. Seriously. Laying in his doggie bed with blankies and towels just shivering.
Last weekend during the Tradeaholics trade and stay event-I did a trade with littlemama's for a doggie coat.
Little Mamas Reversible Tie Dye Dog Coats
I has a happy warm doggie!

Title: 10 Ways to Support the ASPCA

From:
ASPCA | December 11, 2009
For more than 140 years, ASPCA supporters have been essential in our efforts to end animal cruelty and serve as a trusted resource for pet parents. Whether you’re a member of the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, an ASPCA monthly donor or an active volunteer for animals in your community, the ASPCA appreciates your determination to make our world a better place for all living beings.

But our work is far from over—we still need your help! Below are 10 easy and effective ways you can support the ASPCA and make a difference for animals in need.


Be the ASPCA’s “friend” on social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. This simple action will spread the ASPCA’s mission to your friends, and their friends, and their friends, and so on! Plus, these networks are a great way for you to give us instant feedback, and we can respond to you just as quickly.

Sign up for ASPCA Mobile Alerts. By registering for mobile text messaging, you can receive weekly pet care tips and be alerted to pending humane legislation when urgent action is required.

“Regift the Fruitcake!” Bake a virtual fruitcake and send it off to your friends and family for a creative way to help raise funds for your charity of choice—the ASPCA, of course!

Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade. Fight to get strong anti-cruelty laws passed on federal, state and local levels as a member of our Advocacy Brigade (1.4 million advocates strong!). Sign up to receive periodic emails asking you to contact your legislators about laws that impact animals.

Help animals in your community. Got time to give? Local shelters are often in need of volunteers—from walking dogs to socializing cats, hosting a fundraiser or putting your handyman skills to work, your time is precious to your community’s homeless pets.

Give an ASPCA Honor Gift. The ASPCA Honor Gift is a wonderful way to celebrate—and give the gift of life for animals in need! Whether it’s your best friend’s birthday or your sister’s wedding, you can make a donation to the ASPCA in honor of the special day.

Become an ASPCA Ambassador and fundraise for animals. ASPCA Ambassadors create their own grassroots events and invite friends and family to become sponsors on behalf of the ASPCA. These efforts will help us end animal cruelty and find permanent, loving homes for America’s adoptable pets.

Learn how to report animal cruelty. One of the best things you can do to help animals in your community is to keep a list of people who can help you report animal cruelty. If you aren’t sure where to report cruelty in your state, visit our Report Animal Cruelty section at ASPCA.org.

Shop the ASPCA Online Store. Make a difference by buying pet care products, books, accessories and stylish apparel from the ASPCA Online Store—all proceeds from your purchase go to support ASPCA programs!

Send email using a “replyforall” signature. Raise money simply by using your email account! Each time you send an email using your personalized replyforall email signature, the ASPCA receives a donation—and you raise much-needed awareness for the cause of animal welfare.

~click on image to see it bigger~

Moss terrariums are easy to make and maintain. A bottle or jar with a tight fitting lid, some sand or rock to line the bottom, activated charcoal (pssst it's what's in your brita filter cartridge) and some moss...the kind in your yard is just fine...seriously-that's all there is to it.

Here are some great projects on making your own terrarium in a variety of different styles from a dish terrarium to a soda bottle terrarium or animal terrarium. http://www.stormthecastle.com/terrarium/index.htm

These make fabulous Christmas gifts!
