We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This week’s question:  What is your favorite Ben and Jerry’s flavor? Do you have more than one? Can’t narrow it down, tell us all about the ones you love!

First, a BIG, a really BIG THANK YOU has to go out to Danielle.  She usually asks for a favorite, as in one, as you can see above.  However, I think, due to my hysterics in the past when she would ask for a favorite, as in pick one, she has now added more than one lol.



From Yvonne’s site:
  I’ve wanted to start a meme like this for a long time. It’s “Anything Goes on Saturday”. It’s a chance to choose any topic you want and talk about it on Saturday – it can be about a book, TV show, movie, a recipe or just an update on your week. Whatever you choose.

Today’s Topic:  Domains
Lately I have seen many articles and bloggers mentioning that they have changed their URL and purchased a domain.  So I am wondering and my questions for today are:  What are the advantages of having a domain?  If you have purchased one, was it hard to transfer from what you had?  Were there are lot of glitches?  What site did you purchase yours from?  Do you recommend buying a domain?  What are the pros and cons of having a domain?

Topic:  Following blogs…What do you do in this situation?
There are days when I notice the number of followers I have and am amazed…truly amazed.  I remember how excited I was when I had my first follower, it was Vicki, my mentor, from Reading At The Beach. Where did all these followers come from and when?  Some of them I know because they leave me a note in the comment section stating that they a new follower and sometimes even telling me why, and in return, I usually email them back thanking them and then visit their blog and become a follower of their blog.  However, and here is my question and dilemma, what do you do if a person leaves such a note and you visit their blog and search, and search to find something of shared similar likes for and just can’t find one.  Do you follow anyway?  Or do you respond to their comment explaining why you aren’t following their blog after they have chosen to follow your’s?  Is there a blogging etiquette regarding this issue?  How would you handle it?  What would you do?



Progress report:
Yesterday I learned:
*tips on mail inbox tips, which I need to implement
*how to make a button/banner for blog
*RSS feed for blog
*cheat sheets (I read article about them and already had them in place except I have them in a mail folders. ex: one entitled Blog Memes
*a lot of time on google documents
Today’s plans:
*more time spent with google documents
*organizing my mail folders (getting rid of info not needed, putting info in proper folders
* ? favicon/gravitars
* backing up blog

We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here.

Today’s Topic:  GR, LT, SHELFARI?
   I am guessing that most of us catalogue our books on GR, LT, and/or Shelfari. And I am also guessing that we also post our reviews on all these sites too. Around December, I stopped posting to Shelfari, as it seemed that it was just more work, took more time, more duplication and I didn’t see it mentioned as much as the other 2.

   So today’s questions are: Which sites do you use? Do you think it is necessary to use all 3? Do you just use the sites to catalogue your books or do you also post your reviews there?

This week’s question: What’s your most looked forward to event coming up this year? (Online or real life, bookwise or not, anything.)

  First let me say Thank You Danielle!!!!  She usually asks for a favorite food and being Italian, there is no such thing as favorite when it comes to food  lol.  So this one is an easy question for me.  I am sure, that they will get harder as the year progresses.
  I have 2 things.  Bookwise is that I complete ALL of my 15 Challenges I signed up for.  Yes, I know, I am a Challenge Addict and proud of it.
