Add your own voice online

Everyone with their own website or blog will understand the need for fresh content that is interesting and likely to keep attracting new visitors and to keep visitors coming back. That only makes sense. As with many things online, content reigns supreme when it comes to what makes a blog or a website successful. So, what can you do to make your content more interesting? Well, you could add photos, video clips, news streams and of course you can add all manner of different widgets that your visitors may find amusing.

And now you can also add your very own voice when you use earfl, which is fabulous a new site that allows real people to have their voice recorded and shared online. So, check it out if you are looking to add something cool to your blog or your site. The great thing is it does not cost a thing and it will add your voice online with only a phone call. Record your blog entry, tell a special or funny story or even call in a review. It could not be easier.

Poetic imagery

What, in your mind, is the ultimate poetic image? Perhaps you are thinking of a sunset, a golden beach with the palm trees gently swinging to as well as fro, or some spectacular mountain vista? For me, quite simply, it is the moon herself. Looking at a full moon shining all full and yellow through the branches of a tree around Samhain for instance would sum it up for me. But that's just me, I suppose.

Tricky stuff!

How did Houdini do it? I suppose Houdini excelled in conveying the mastery of his trade and some more modern illusionists emphasize the awesome show element a bit more.That said, I have always been fascinated with magic and illusionism. From the great stories about illusionists of the past, such as the great Houdini, to modern illusionists, I like the way they hold the audience in thrall and bring about great excitement when they achieve some of their amazing feats. You should always be left perplexed at how a certain trick or stunt has been performed without really wanting to know. You don’t want your illusions shattered, now do you?

There is a wonderful show on at the Luxor in Las Vegas and it is no less than CRISS ANGEL Believe. This is a fabulous show of illusionism that is certainly not be missed. Do check it out and also be aware that there a great text message contest that could see you winning two tickets to CRISS ANGEL Believe. Text 'Believe' to 22122 to win 2 tickets to 'CRISS ANGEL Believe' . Hurry and see if you are one of the lucky ones to win tickets to this amazing performance.

Everyone knows about the stunning Cirque Du Soleil. They so some amazing shows and now the new Cirque Du Soleil show features CRISS ANGEL Believe.
This show will have you transfixed and amazed and, of course, thoroughly entertained throughout. Catching a great show in Las Vegas is always a blast but this one will blow your socks off, guaranteed!

Friends in places

A friend of mine whom I don't get to see very often is currently quite successful as an author. She has been offered a publishing deal and she receives lots of invitations to speak at conferences and festivals. I am very happy for her as she deserves the success she is currently experiencing. I often wondered if I could speak in public if asked to do so. I'm not so sure. I think I lack some basic level of confidence but then some say that anyone can learn to speak well in public. Who knows? I'll keep scribbling on regardless..

Bangers and Mash

Sounds a bit like a novelty singing duo: 'Tonight for one night only: Bangers and Mash!'. But seriously, we enjoyed a nice lunch of sausages and mashed potatoes and once again it struck me just how undeserved it is that English cuisine should have such a bad reputation. I find most typical English dishes very nice indeed. Good hearty food that tastes great with a pint of Bitter. What more do you want?

Mobile phones

There once was a time, and I remember it well dear readers, when the only people who owned a mobile phone or cellular phone if that is your preferred vernacular, were yuppie business types and car salesmen in shiny loud suits, clutching a brick of a phone to their ear. It was still so rare that you really noticed when someone used a cell phone in public. Those days, of course, are gone and nowadays everyone and anyone is able to be the proud owner of a mobile phone.

In fact, you may want to check out TigaDuaCellular for a great deal on a cellular phone. They are a recognized distributor of wireless phones and accessories, as well as many other consumer electronics. They specialize in a very wide range of GSM phones and accessories.

Words

Words are a passion of mine. There, I've said it. Nothing that can be said can't be said in an entertaining manner, making full use of the rich language that English happens to be. The largest dictionary in the world is the English one with so many choices of words and phrases on offer that it seems a waste not to be creative in your particular parlance. Go on, give it a try Gov!

Cleaning your place using less energy

Cleaning with the famous Dirt Devil is so easy and efficient that it is almost a joyful chore. But is there anyone who likes cleaning? I just mean: Do you genuinely enjoy the act of cleaning your apartment or your house? I happen to believe it is a necessary evil although I have to admit that I enjoy my house when I have just finished cleaning the place and I can relax in the knowledge that everything is nice and clean and fresh and tidy. A tidy house equals a tidy mind, that’s my humble opinion.

But having the appropriate equipment can make all the difference when it comes to cleaning your place properly. You need the right tools to do the job. It is just such a convenient piece of kit, handy and easy to get out and vacuum those bits of dirt or dust that catch your eye. And, in contrast to other small vacuum cleaners, a Dirt Devil has real power to do the job in hand, which is a big help. And now the well-known Dirt Devil is even better with its new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac. It uses seventy percent less energy, which is great. And so AccuCharge has become the very first cordless cleaning technology to earn Energy Star approval.

Rober Gray

A friend of mine, who lives in Utrecht in Holland, went along to a poetry reading by the Australian poet Robert Gray. I had to admit I did not know this particular poet. She said it was a good reading with a translator on stage as well and some banter between the two and the poet and the audience in-between poem readings. I'm always amazed at people who translate poetry. It must be so very tricky to translate a poem successfully. So much of what makes a poem work is personal, subjective and full of nuance. To translate these aspects into another language must be incredibly difficult.
I almost can't imagine how you would go about it.

Austral

I'll get there, you'll see,
Come hell or high water,
I'll set foot on that blessed land,
That lucky country,
That southern heart that made me long for it.

I'll be older,
And not much wiser,
And certainly no surf dude,
But I will make my way,
And lay my head down somewhere I can call home
For the very first time.

Snapbomb

I just found about a very interesting paid to blog site with the intriguing name Snapbomb. This looks like a very promising blog review site and I am happy to create a bit of a buzz for them. I always welcome a new paid to review site when one comes along. As far as I am concerned Snapbomb looks like it could really work well for both bloggers and advertisers.

Blog advertising can really do wonders for a product or a company’s service. The exposure provided by a good blog post cannot be underestimated. What I like about Snapbomb is the speed with which you can register with them. You then submit your blogs for appraisal and within seconds you receive an estimate of your blog’s value.

I think this could be a really good site for bloggers and advertisers looking for blog marketing. Good luck, Snapbomb!

People

Just spent a nice quarter of an hour standing in line at my local post office. It was, in all fairness, very busy and the staff working there are invariably very quick and professional. They always seem to get things moving very smoothly. And yet there were plenty of people moaning and griping about having to wait a bit longer than usual. People just do my head in sometimes..
