Widgets

Okay, so I can choose all of these widgets to promote Web sites and products, in hopes, that maybe I can make a few bucks off the clicks I send to them.  Of course, with that is the responsibility to post interesting, intelligent articles, and to post often.  Ugh.  I honestly don't have the time to report every loony event that takes place under our blessed roof.  However, I can explain, to the few that bother to visit, what I have going on here.

First of all, I have the privilege to choose from a plethora of widgets through the blog site.  Most of these have the opportunity to make money, some are simply for kicks and giggles.  Enjoy, click away, or don't.

I have signed on with Amazon Associates with the hopes that I may end up with a huge following , and tons of folks click on the Amazon link to shop.  I am a dedicated Amazon shopper.  Simply because I don't have to breathe other people's germie air, I don't get knocked over or trapped in an aisle by crazies and their carts, and I don't have to tail my children along, since they seem to have a lot of "needs".  Shop away!

Another awesome widget I have just added today, is the LibraryThing site.  A wonderful, distant friend of mine has turned me onto this site.  You can scan/log all of the books you own, have borrowed from the library or a friend, and you can keep track of what you've been, or already have, read.  Whew, that was a mouthful!  It's another social media site, of course, so you can link up and become "friends" with all sorts of other book-lovers in the world.  I like to keep up, as I can "like" certain authors, and when I am in the mood, I can go to their page and try a new book by them.  I really love this new site.  It's takes a little time to get it all going, initially, with entering in all the books you want to showcase (only the ones that make you look good ;-)). However, once you're up and running, it's all fun and games and checking out what others are reading, as well...not just hitting the "best sellers" list.

One more widget is the awesome Swag bucks link.  Oh, take a look at that if you tend to do a lot of searches.  This service has tons of ways you earn "Swag bucks" that you can trade in on all sorts of stuff.  My personal favorite?  Amazon Gift cards, baby!!!  Oh, yeah, I tend to do a lot of searching online near Christmas time.  I have used so many cards, and just the other day, earn $10 in gift cards.  They have other things you can do- view commercials, take mini-polls, promote the site, etc. -where you can earn more bucks.  Again, I don't have time to really work it, so the searching has kept me good so far.  Check it out...through my referral link. 

Surely, I have other widgets on there.  Links to other blogs, lists, or product sites.  Hit them up, too.  I link to them for one reason or another.  I will only link to sites that I would pretty much approve my little ones to visit (hmm, time to re-visit everyone just to be sure???).  Click away!
