I’ve had a Twitter account for I guess a few months now, but in the last few days, I’ve been Twittering heavily.

Not familiar with Twitter? It’s like instant messaging with as few or as many people as you want, except you can only post 140 characters at a time. Brevity, humor, and cleverness are good assets to have for a Twitterer.

I’m still working on two out of three of those.

The way that you read what people are posting is by clicking a button marked “Follow” under their profile photo. So, for example, if you want to Follow what I post on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/Table4Five and click the Follow button (after you set up your account).

Unlike commenting on blog posts, Twitter lets you make short, instant connections with people in real time. I find that people who NEVER comment on my blogs are very friendly on Twitter-makes me feel better some days So come on, do what all the “cool” bloggers (like me, HAHAHAHAHA) are doing and come join Twitter!

I know, there are so many blogs to read, right? Well, there are good blogs and there are just okay blogs, and why not spend your valuable time reading the good ones? The So Called Me is one of the good ones!

So what do I like about The So Called Me? I like that on the 15th of each month she hosts The Mommy Blog Carnival-which, why have I not heard of that?-a round-up of great Mommy blog posts. I like that her blog is clean and easy to read, no obnoxious blinking things, and a nice color scheme.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to move the Archives and RSS feed subscription link up to the sidebar rather than in the footer. I think most readers scan what they can see above the fold and that placing those higher would get them seen by more people. Although she seems to be doing okay on feed susbscribers, she has 146 of them!

Stop by The So Called Me and get to know Jenn and her blog!

Please excuse the weirdness, I am in the middle of a theme change. And, of course, I had to pick a theme that looked simple and straightforward until I started mucking around in the code and realized I can’t figure out how to add even the simplest lines of code and get them to work.

But I am determined to figure it out, so please bear with me. What do you think of the header? Dudes, I made it all by myself in Photoshop! Go me!

Buzzfuse wants to see your content! Create a free account, and then place the Buzzfuse widget on any post. You can see the widgets on my posts “Look at me, conquering my fears”, and on “Win a Diaper Bag Tote from Land’s End”. If you click either of those widgets, you can rate, review, and share those posts with other people. It’s viral marketing at it’s finest! Create a free account, and you can see what others are buzzing about, too.

Once you tag a piece of content with the Buzzfuse widget, you can use the same widget code anywhere that content appears-a blog, a website, a social marketing site-giving the content that many more chances to get rated and reviewed. Send emails to friends inviting them to become a fan of your content, and create a circle of readers who specifically are interested in your content. With a premium membership you can add features such as questionnaires to the emails your fans can sign up for, delivering your new content right to their inboxes.

I’ll be giving Buzzfuse a try to see if it helps drive any new traffic to this site. You are always welcome to click the widgets and there is no obligation to join, but it would be fun if you did, or if you became a fan of my content!

I have had Photoshop on my laptop since forever, and have always been afraid to use it. This year, I decided enough was enough, and I made a New Year’s Resolution to learn how to use it. Today, I did! Big thanks to my friend Loretta at Just Not Martha for giving me the code to post the code-inside-the-scroll-box, I had no idea how to make that. So now if you would like to give MomReviews a little love on your sidebar, you can use this:
