Relish nominated me for this ‘I Love Your Blog’ award. Awesome, yes? I think so. The rules of the award are: 1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog. {Done} 2. Link the person you received your award from. {Sure!} 3. Nominate 7 other blogs. {Okay} 4. Put links of those blogs on…
The program for the blogging workshop comes out today and is open for enrollment. ****** Bloggers or techno-lovers out there mightn’t be aware that all of Federation Square is the biggest free Wi-Fi site in Australia. So if you’re planning on coming to my talk at the Melbourne Wrtiers’ Festival, hey, why not lug along…
Whenever I mention the subject of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my sister becomes stubborn and frankly philistine about it because she point-blank refuses to watch. Her excuses are varied, and even admitted to giving “That one with all the singing” a try, but she just doesn’t ‘get it’. So I offer to show her single…
Found at Penni’s While I would argue that the majority of time I spend daydreaming as I wait for something is usually cooking up blog posts, assembling lots of important ‘to-do’ lists, or even thinking about writing, I do see the value of such an exercise because: Anything that advocates reading in general is a-ok…

You want to use it? Sure, okay.] The…
I’ve spent the better part of this afternoon wondering why my blog wouldn’t open in Internet Explorer. All I got was an “Operation Aborted” message. Frankly, it was really pissing me off. Then my lovely husband got his laptop out and did some detective work and found that the Site Meter problem (it had also…
Here, to be exact. It’s funny, isn’t it? Darren asked me to write this weeks ago – before all the who-ha over this writing award happened. So perhaps it’s kismet; or at least an example of how I’m trying to ‘walk the walk’ as best I can with the voice I’m developing. Come on over…
I am stepping down as one of the moderators of the Aussie Bloggers Forum this week; a decision which was hard to make, but had to be done as I am currently quite frazzled with one thing or another. I’m not good at juggling balls in the air; I never really pretend to be otherwise,…
