Tell me 5 random things about yourself.
I don't always have time to get back to all the comments and e-mails and this will give me a chance to know people better.
I'll start!
1. I love 2 and a Half Men ( The TV show).
2. I won't go near peanutbutter, but I really love pea-butter. On rice cakes. MMMMMM.
3. I use all...

I just started a "real" travel blog (as in not a blog on SG).
Any who blogs (shit, I HATE that word), do you have any advice on how to generate traffic or good affiliate advertising or anything?
EDIT:
I haven't seen any blogs that are quite like the one I'm writing. I think it is going to be really cool!

I contemplated doing a blog once but I know I'd be too lazy to maintain it. I did however bookmark this article on 21 Surefire Tips for a Successful Blog Launch.
My #1 rule for blogging (uhh) is: Post Often. I stop reading blogs that don't update often enough. You want your readers to be stoked to come back, not bored.
Rule #2 would be to always reply to comments on your blog, and definitely if the commenter has their own blog which they can link to yours or even direct traffic to your blog by mentioning you in their posts.
Also, I don't think it would be a problem for you, but a blog definitely must have good design and should visually flow. You'd think that's kind of obvious, but I see blogs that have stupid colours and weird layouts that hurt my brain. Don't be that kind of blog.
Good luck in the blogosphere [is that like the stupidest word ever?]
Peace out

hang in there. January isn't all that far off. i'm intrigued by your 'blog' idea, although i find that word hard to use as well. 
I'm going to Italy...!
And I need money.
Buy my art. I hate to sell it because it makes me feel like an asshole, but if you like any of it, you can buy it.
PM me with your offer.
FYI, these are not the usual style of art I do, which is why I can deal with parting with them. Most of them were...

That's cool, but the paintings you have up on your blog don't, like, suck. They're really cool. So the ones you do like enough to horde must be rad, seriously.
I like that you do art for the hell of it, like that's why an artist should be doing art. I've had artistic phases, but I just liked the process of doing art, and creating a unique object, like a painting or a sketch, much more than I liked the results of that process. It didn't bother me (much) that I sucked at it. At least the artwork was all mine. And I like the peacefulness of painting or drawing. Exhibiting or selling didn't factor in.
By the way, that tattoo you have on your upper left arm, of like a stick figure, is rad.

Motorhead last night! It was pretty wicked. My camera was dying, sadly, so I only had a limited number of photos of Lemmy, who was looking sexier than usual. I love old men.

The weddig last weekend was really nice. I'm not usually a fan of going to weddings, but this was one of the few that actually was great to be at. For one thing, the ceremony was great, the bride and groom were so sweet during it, and the speeches done by the wedding party/family were in English, French, and Polish, it was really cool... The...

If you want to write for cash (but no credit), MontrealPlus (Yellow Pages Group) is always looking for freelancers to do fact-checks and profiles on restos/clubs/shops/hotels... I've gotten a few people started, just as another freelancer friend did for me, if you're interested!
akira069:
yeah, I'm definitely not much of a wedding person myself, but it does sound like an interesting one.
so i think i'm heading up to your wonderful country after all. i'm not in a good place mentally, and i think i need a change. i've never experienced cold weather like that so it'll be interesting I'm going with almost not money (if i go... there's stll a chance it wont happen), and i'm going to be your token illegal looking for under the table work for the few months that I'm there. I plan on staying until just after the new year, at which point I'll come back to my tiny island and thaw out. yeah, it'll be an adventure...
hey, do what you gotta do. a call center might not be so bad, and it'll give you some extra cash to tide you over until you find something else. with all of the languages you speak, you might just take over!
OR you can read leilani's entry and find another option
hahaha

I already have more work than I know what to do with and its harder than usual
I got a copy of my poetry book today in the mail, and I've decided it needs revision. Or maybe I need to make another one to go with it. Or something.

You should have totally hit that jackoff with the bread.. I would have paid for a new loaf of bread if you did that..
user07508295793:
Several years ago I was in a shitty house with 4 or 5 other people, and we all went the grocery store to buy a meal. We had been scavenging change for a couple of hours, and we paid for our stuff with about $25 in assorted change. The cashier was not pumped about that.
I have barely read a novel in years. I read all the time-- magazines, news, poetry, essays, non-fiction, but I rarely read novels start to finish anymore. I read the Day of the Locust veryyy slowly, even though it is such a fast read, but I never had time to read more than a few pages at once. I'm reading another book that is like...

I'll come say hi
2. I overthink things to the point of making myself pissed off at me for overthinking things.
3. I have far too many blogs...and they rarely match each other. So if one were to read them all at once, they'd have a clearer picture of me.
4. I dont eat okra. Dont trust it. Its a childhood trauma thing.
5. I sing Frank Sinatra tunes to my son when he is sick, because songs like "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "It Had To Be You" have calmed him since birth.
1- Watching TV sometimes make me cry.
2- I'm addicted to spring rolls.
3- I'll rip your face off if you say something sexist, racist or in any way unfair or disrespectful but I hate humans so bad I want to kill everyone some days.
4- I sing really cheezy songs when I'm alone.
5- Everytime I take off a beer label, I think of a naked woman.
