Friday Blogplugs - 3/28
Hey
folks,
A very happy Friday from all of
us in Northern California. Hope the weather gods are looking on more
favorably at people in the East and Mid-West.
First off, thanks for your
interesting and varied responses to "opening up"
Magic Smoke.
The reason for opening up Magic
Smoke is not because we cannot spend a 1/2 hour or we are trying to
shirk our responsibility. Magic Smoke is part of the JLand
community, and we want to involve the community in it. This is also in
response to people who wrote to us saying that they wanted see greater
community participation on Magic Smoke.
I also want to clarify
something. I
am still going to be around and will do my best to make this
successful. Also, for now, we will only be adding writers who have
something interesting to say or offer on Magic Smoke.
So, I would urge the naysayers
to give us a chance. If this does not work we will look at
alternatives.
With that, I would like
to invite the JLand community host their games, contests, trivia on
Magic Smoke. Also, if you feel like
contributing an entry on important days of the year, like Mother's day,
Father's day, Earth day, etc. please feel free to send us email at
journalseditor@aol.com.
Moving on to the task
du jour, let's see what we have for blogplugs.
* Robin picks up some treasure from trash.
* Dawn
completes 3
years of blogging on AOL Journals.
Congratulations!
* Tawyna's
Wednesday

Team.
* Ken urges
us to take the time to do a little research – do
not believe everything you read or hear. He also has another
entry where he writes about complacency
and how we should confront
it.
* Guido has
started a JLand group at AIM groups and invites
you to join. This is to facilitate quick communication via
email or the messageboard within the JLand community. If you have an
AIM/AOL screenname, you just have to click a button on that page to
join.
* Indigo
describes her
emotions as she watched her child's emergence from her
cocoon. Nicely
written.
* Lisa writes
that she is in lots
of pain and she is fighting the good fight. She laments that
writing about her health problems, have cost her friends. (Are you sure
they were friends to begin with?
:))

will be turning
off their lights for 1 hour on March
29th.

I wanted to say something to anybody who is complaining about "the same people getting blogplugged". If you would like to get your entry in Magic Smoke as a blogplug, TAG your entry as "blogplugs" under your entry in the line called "tags". This will often put you in blogplugs in Technorati, where the journalseditor of Magic Smoke often gets blogplugs for any particular week. If you don't tag, you can't expect to get picked! Secondly, you can ALWAYS bring attention to your most important entries by sending an email to the journalseditor and writing blogplugs in the subject line. My guess is that if "the same old people are always being chosen", then there are not too many people who are blogplugging. At the end of every Friday Blogplugs entry like this Vish asks everybody to blogplug their most important and useful entries. I don't think it is fair to him to constantly complain that he is choosing the same people. If you want to be featured, then start blogplugging.
Krissy :)
