HELP QUICK...........

HELP.........

As bloggers are so helpful I urgently need help..................

If you were to run a workshop on blogs/blogging for people who may or may not know what a blog is.............what would you call the workshop and how would you describe it...............

it has to be catchy and is aimed at a bunch of women of various ages...............

so what I need is

1. a workshop title

2. one sentence to describe the workshop

3. I need it by tomorrow morning

THANKS in advance..............

if you can help me out I will draw a name and send out some cards............

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

bits and pieces.........

Well I have been cruising Quilting Bloggers and found some new to me Aussie bloggers............

Lurline's Place and Luv 2 Cre8te and I also found this blogger The Quilt Nook

I was on quilting bloggers last week and there were 500+ blogs listed and this week there is 800+ so check it out and if you are not listed and want to be just submit your site...............

&&&&&&&&&&&

I got this little bundle of fat quarters at the quilt show they will go perfectly with some others i have........very soft and pretty..........

In other news when emailing a newer blogger today we got onto the subject of bloglines................she had no idea what they are so thought I would say something here.............this is helpful for bloggers and lurkers alike.............

Bloglines are a way to keep up to date with the blogs you want to visit all the time. You just go into bloglines and add the blogs you want to watch.............then when you go in next time only the people who have new posts will be bold and you can check them out.................you can easily sort them into folders for countries or types of craft to make it easier to keep track.

It does save a lot of time opening blogs only to find they have not done a new post. For those on limited downloads (like me) you don't have to open the whole blog each time.

As for commenting if you want to leave a comment you just click on the post title and it opens that post for you to comment as usual.

If I have totally confused you email me.....(but I just run it by the computer illiterate dh and he got it)..........but check out bloglines.........

a bloggy friend made these for me and they didn't even make it home from town..........thanks they were very helpful.............and so yummy.........hope you share the recipes.........

as I had 4 extra families for 4 nights (Fiona one less) everyone got to do a meal night................lots of good food here........when I cooked this is what we got bbq sausages on bread at the dam and then some campovens for another lunch.........(sorry no pics)............

The kids had a ball............push bikes, motor bikes, yabbying, fires, sparklers, bone collecting, toasted marshmellows and lots more fun...........they didn't stop for 5 minutes..........

at the dam..........

playing with the camera settings at the fire night with the sparklers.............found a very useful setting which takes great pics.........
