Passionate Blogger Awarded to me
April 7th, 2009 at 07:55 pm by Shari Thomas in About this Site
Imagine my surprise yesterday morning when I opened my admin panel and discovered Sharkbytes from My Quality Day had awarded Shari’s Gone Country! the Passionate Blogger Award.
I guess you could say I’m passionate about blogging. This blog has been going since I moved to Utah a few years ago. I know, you can’t get to the old posts… I promise I’ll figure out what happened when I uploaded this cool theme.
Sharkbytes is right. My roommate and I recently bought a traffic exchange and it IS consuming a fair amount of time, with all the programming, writing, and policy development.
Ok, here are folks that truly deserve the “Passionate Blogger Award”.
Orient Lodge
Forced Green
Redhead Ranting
More Than Sew So

Entrecard Top Droppers January 2009
January 31st, 2009 at 09:46 am by Shari Thomas in About this Site, EntrecardNew thing on Shari’s Gone Country!
I belong to a “blog exchange community” called Entrecard. You may have seen the “Blog of the Day” widget on the sidebar. Basically it’s like a “business card dropping service”. You join the community. You place the widget on your page. Other bloggers purchase your ad spot using Entrecredits. As you’re surfing around, and discover other bloggers with Entrecard, you click on the “drop” spot, and you earn an Entrecredit.
Of course, there’s a whole community, where you can meet a ton of other bloggers.
So, this month and the months going forward, we’re all starting another “new thing”. We’re publicly giving thanks to our Entrecard Top Droppers.
For the month of January…
Daily Coloring
Pages…If you’re a homeschooler, here’s a site where you can download coloring pages for your little ones. If you like to color, it makes a great “side by side” project.
New Orleans Food & Fun…This blog always makes me hungry, and long for the South, too. While I’ve never been to New Orleans, I am a big fan of both Creole and Cajun food. Geez… now I’m drooling!
Hi Tech News and Information… Are you techie? This blog is for you!
Austin Counsel Lawyer Blog… a collection of strange laws from around the world.
Web Blog of Greg Matthews…Greg writes about “online blog marketing” as well as Internet Marketing. I think he just put a bug in my head about joining “Dropaholics”.
how much love… One of my most loyal advertisers! Visit this blog to rest your eyes on beautiful art.
Five O’Clock Somewhere – Artisan Jewelry… Thought-provoking blog along with some awesome jewelry from a Californian mother who cares alot.
ESCUDERO’S A PAINTING A DAY… Nice art, fun blog!
Fire and Glass-Sweetwater Designs… If you’re into blown glass, as in glass beads, this is a place to visit regularly.
LinGzspot… A very nice blog by a young Filipina girl.
Buy me a beer and I'll write more posts more often.

How do you like the new look?
January 24th, 2009 at 09:04 pm by Shari Thomas in About this SiteI finally found a theme I love. Cindy had found it for a blog she’s working on, but then found something she liked much better.
I still have some work to do on post formatting, but hey… the sidebars look really good.
It’s only taken about 8 hours to whip this into form. I’ve learned about 17 new things today about “php”… farm more than I ever even wanted to learn.
There are new plugins, new ways of getting things done, and soon I’ll have the image issue solved (that means going back and hand-loading each and every one of them).
The one thing that isn’t working for this theme is “Sez Who”. That will take some serious work to adapt it.
Ok, enough work… time to go play for the rest of the evening.
Buy me a beer and I'll write more posts more often.
