The New Buzz Word Is Yahoo/Ask Me If I Care

And the new Buzz word of the week goes to Yahoo. I have joined so many programs this last year that were suppose to be the answer for bloggers to be seen and heard that I totally refuse to join any more. If I were a pro blogger or rather an a-list blogger then it would make sense and since I am neither then I wont bother. I hardly doubt that anything I post would be of any great importance to anyone, but me anyhow.

People also keep sending me invitations to the newest and improved social sites and I’m afraid that I have to decline those now also. I lost track of the ones I already belong to. I often tell myself I should be more social, but I simply don’t have the time. I do good to leave a comment here and there and I certainly don’t have time for forums anymore unless I need some useful information for a problem.

I really need to get my head in gear and start downsizing all of my interests which are too many right now and I certainly can’t keep track of all the websites and blogs that I have running now. I really need to figure out a simpler plan for working online instead of having so many varied interests going that I’m really wearing thin.

I need to start concentrating on 2 or 3 things and make them a success instead trying to keep my finger in 50 things and get nothing done and feel like I’m failing. Trying to survive online can be very stressful and many tend to start so many programs that they get overwhelmed and simply call it quits before they even get started. Gotta go so have a great one.

Are Bloggers Having A Problem With WordPress?

I was dropping cards today and many people must be having problems with updating their blogs because some kept saying that I had to be a member to view the blogs and others were trying to download a php file to my computer. If everyone is having these types of problems then I will simply wait to upgrade my wordpress because that was some scary stuff. Most of the blogs I drop on all the time so something is definitely wrong somewhere.

I mentioned that I was also having a problem with my FireFox 3 and not seeing widgets that I had no problem with before. I reinstalled and that helped with the problem, but with some I do have to still refresh and that starts to get annoying along with those full ads that cover the blogs. I know many people say that that doesn’t bother them, but it does me. If they want my credit then they shouldn’t hide their widget.

I have noticed that people tend to comment on shorter posts than a long drawn out one so I have been making my posts shorter because I have so much to do in other areas. I know that my attention span has shriveled up drastically and I try to leave a comment on some sites, but it has to be about something that doesn’t make me burn up what few brain cells I have left.
