Classifieds

I have a couple of requests for our readers (and writers…)

#1.) HELP WANTED: It looks as if the founding writers of "Women On…" are suffering from collective writers' block. Maybe if we add some fresh faces (keyboards?) and different opinions, we can get the conversation going again. If you would like to post an essay to "Women On…", email me at mlraminiak@gmail.com. Whether you would like to simply email me a one-time essay to post on the blog, or be added to our list of regular contributors, please drop me a line.

#2.) DESPERATELY SEEKING… I am having a hard time finding new blogs to read. In the old AOL Hometown, you could search through the blogs by subject matter. Like, if you were looking for blogs about cooking or some other specific subject, you could do that. Here on blogger, that feature does not exist. I am trying to find blogs by small business people, specifically restaurant owners and/or "foodies." Basically I'm looking for a networking forum for people like myself. Does anyone know how to search blogger for people with similar interests (short of starting at the beginning of the list and reading every blog from a to z?) Has anyone out there had any success doing this? Please leave your answer in the comments…

Thanks for your help, guys…

Google restaurant owner and then click on the blogs tab. I have found a ton of other photographers that way.

I love writing...but political writing is not my forte and I'm not sure I'm 'dynamic' enough to write here. LOL

Well, unless you get me started on the topic of the safety of vaccinations and the fact West Virginia doesn't offer philosophical or religious exemptions for vaccinations...then I suddenly become quite controversial and LOUD. :)

I do hope you find a few great writers!

XOXO

I keep wanting to write Lisa, but I keep thinking ... how many times do these folks want to read inspirational writing based on my special needs young adult?

I mean, honestly. And I don't have much passion for anything else these days.

Emily is my inspiration of late. ;)

But I'll see if I can come up with something others want to read or learn about ... or something.

Oh ... I forgot. I find new blogs by going to my followers profiles and looking at the blogs they read list ... and then check out a few and while I'm there, check their profiles ... ripple effect, you know.

But if you are looking for a specific type of blog, the google thing works well.

I am in the middle of a life crisis and it is not good for blog material. But I keep trying...hey, I found the funniest blog called earwigsandwich, (I think)from a lady living in France but from England...very funny stuff, if you like funny. This is a great site for finding new blogs...http://www.fivestarfriday.com/
