Rerun Sunday: 09/10/2006

Twenty-three and Counting
Update: Since the original posting "Sara" has had a few more topics: Theme 3: If I Had a Million Dollars, Theme 4: I Need a Vacation!, Theme 5: Best Friends, Theme 6: Getting My Life in Order, Theme 7: Finance

This personal blog is run by "Sara" (an admitted alias). Sara has come across some blogging theories that I have long held as universal truths:
(1) "Blogs that keep my attention the longest have a focus."
(2) "As a rule, daily journals are kind of boring."

But Sara found herself without a definite "focus" to maintain throughout her blog's lifetime. Her solution: choose a new focus every Sunday, post 5 theme-related blogs Monday-Friday, and do a recap on Satuday (plus, she may throw in a "journal"-ish entry on Saturday as well.) To read the entire story of Sara's blog format dilemma, click here.

So, Week #1 is in the books. The topic: Best Loved Books (pun intended). To see the Saturday recap, you can click here.

So, it's barely Monday when I'm posting this and Week #2's topic has just been chosen: Life Changing Moments. I think that Sara has come across a fabulous twist to the traditional personal blog format and I can't wait to see what's in store for this week (maybe winning "Bestest Blog of the Day" will be one of her life changing moments, though I kind of hope that it isn't, because it's really not that big of a deal and she's already 23 [same age as me], so I hope she has some better moments to tell us about!)

...In any case, be sure to check out Sara's daily posts on the topic of "Life Changing Moments," as well as future topics, over at "Twenty-three and Counting" and tell her that "Bestest Blog" sent ya!

The theme vs. non-theme concept is an interesting one. I'll have to think about that.

Been on a bit of a hiatus, but I had to break that to write this post.  This may be the bestest blog, but I think I just found the bestest gift ideas site .  Ok, imagine this.  You need to get a gift for your aunt from Cleveland.  You know she likes the Cleveland Browns and quilting, but that's about it. So what do you do?  You panic and you buy her whatever Yankee candle strikes your fancy in the store that day.  But what you should do is go to GiftedIdea.com .  You tell them about your aunt from Cleveland and they'll come up with a whole bunch of relevant gift ideas.  Who is "they"?  Well, they have a team of gift experts  called the Idea Team.  They crowdsource the ideas for you.  Pretty cool, right?  It's certainly a fun idea and I wish them all the success they can find.
