I am learning the ropes of Wordpress as of now. I learned how to write posts, link to posts, add blogroll, add widgets, add images and videos, alter my header message, a lot lot more learnings. I realized Wordpress isn’t that hard at all. Thanks to blogger, because if not for my experience in their dashboards and very friendly platform, wordpress could have been difficult for me too. I still have around 6 blogs here in blogger, so I wouldn’t really miss it. I am still learning a lot of things in wordpress right now, and all of these experience is really great.

By the way, I’d like to share an article I’ve read today. I really liked it so much, and it got me into thinking about what really motivates me and what are my deepest desires and wants in life. In short, it made me think about my life purpose. Please read

i am open for exchange links so, just leave me a comment.

I am surprised this week, because payu2blog has given me 3 assignments to do. As far as I can remember, usually its only 2 per week. Last week, I even only had one assignment to do.
Thanks to them, because they complemented that by giving me 3 assignments for this week. You just don’t know how happy I am, that I am with you. Even if ppp had left me hanging, you are still there.
Guys, if you are still not with them, you better join now, by applying your blog which has domain name. You need to maintain your blog first, and if you think the stats and ranking is okay, you can apply with them.
Payu2blog is really nice. They will be with you through thick and think. The assignments are very easy to do. With only 60 words per assignment, you don’t have to spend a lot of time. I usually finish mine in less than 10 minutes.
If you are a bit slow, that’s okay, no worries cause you don’t have to compete with time. What I mean is you are not given 12 hours or any hour limit to complete it. You have days to finish them, usually a week or less.
What could be more amazing than that? Payu2blog is the best, even if it doesn’t make your rich, you have assurance with them.

My page rank went back to 0. Even if it was only 1, for the past month, that was really a great help already. I was able to grab a few oops from ppp. And now, it looks like I’m gonna have to start all over again. Honestly, my enthusiasm in blogging was lowered because I felt stress before in always updating my blog and working at the same time. I had no rest. The page rank they gave me, has increased my interest and passion more. But, now….it’s gone. huhuhuhu! Nah, just kidding. I’m okay with it. I know I can start all over again. I know, I’m gonna have to bank more on my other blogs and also create more backlinks. Time will come, for me. But its not yet now…..

Images and Pictures for your Website, blog or Forum

I mentioned a lot of times that my online friends have a lot of contribution to have I have accomplished in blogging. Along the way, people came, and even if we haven’t met yet, I feel so closed to them and I really consider them friends. This is one of the few advantages of technology. It helps us connect with people from any side of the globe, as long as you have internet connection. Without these friends, I don’t know if I would have ever come to know the things that I know now.

My blogging friends have been of great help in these areas:
1. letting me understand how to do tags and meme (such a simple thing that was too complicated to me before)
2. encouraging me to keep applying on paid to posts membership websites
3. helping me with my layout, care of miss carlota.
4. helping me what domains mean, and how to have a domain of my own
5. helping me realize the importance of having my own domain
6. commenting and empathizing with my triumphs and losses in life
7. letting me know that I have a friend, and I am not alone
8. helping me realize my blessings in life
and a lot more, the list could go on and on, even with simple details I do consult my friends on how to do things so I could have a better idea. as the saying goes, two heads is better than one.

For this, I would like to present this award of best blogger friend award, to all my online friends out there: pinaymommyonline, joy, carlota and shengy. Thanks to you guys. I would be happy to see you posting this. You really deserve the award. Thanks for being my friends.

I am now reviewing the events of the past week to think about what would be the best accomplishment I could write about. Hmmm, let me see. I think this would be all about my blogging experience.

I’m a newbie in the blogging world, and all that I learned from blogging was a result of my own persistence and effort, backed with the help of the friends that I’ve met from the online world.

This blogging thing in my life, started due to one thing. I wanted to have an extra income, and I wanted to do it online. In the beginning, I had been scammed a number of times. I lost almost 3 thousands all to nothing. I thought, there must really be a way that I could earn online. After few months of researching, I heard about blogs, but my knowledge was still very little and everything still appeared to be vague to me. But I persevered and continued. Think about this, I know nothing about it, and I had no idea blogging exists. So, just come to think of all the hassles I had to go through to learn everything. Some of you might have learned blogging through a friend you know, and that’s easier cause you can always ask a question if you don’t understand something.

But every bit of information I got, was a result of trial and error. It was only later on, when I gained some friends, whom I confided about my confusions. And they are of great help.

This is my very first month, that I started to earn from blogging. I have just been accepted by payu2blog, where I am earning most of my income from blogging right now. But I’ll never forget how many times smorty rejected me. Huhuhu, but that was challenging huh. As of this month, I have earned a total of $118. That’s not as great as your earnings, but this is already a great help for me. I am just so thankful that I discovered the world of blogging.

Cheers to me and to all bloggers.
P.S my butt is aching so much right now,while I’m sitting at work. I fell from the stairs early this morning. hhuhuhuhuhu. Ouch!

It’s my day off today, but I’ve got nothing important to do at home, and I need to do some updates on this blog. Since I don’t have a pc at home, I went to the office to do it there. My friend said, isn’t it your day off? And I said yes, but I need to do some work. What work? She said. I went on and told her I have a blog to maintain. I told her it’s just some sort of a hobby. She then went on and said, what? your not gonna get anything out of blogging. What’s the use? This reaction shocked me, but I kept mum. I don’t wanna waste time in explaining to her why I blog. Every minute I have is valuable, and I don’t want to waste it to someone who just simply can’t understand because they won’t understand. At the back of my mom, I laughed and told myself, hmm….you just don’t know what you’ve been missing because you are not blogging. hehehe. I wanted to tell her that it’s an accomplishment and it would help you keep track of your life. I wanted to tell her that it could improve one’s writing skills. I wanted to tell her that she is wrong that blogging is useless. I wanted to tell her that I am earning from it. I know bloggers out there would agree with me. Blogging is a great part of my life. Not only because I earn from it, but because it makes me happy and it keeps me updated with what’s going on with my life. It’s like an online journal. Anyway, it’s not my loss. I don’t have to explain to anyone and I simply don’t care if they are not interested.

Arte Y Pico Award

Finally, creative thoughts received its very first blogger award. I would like to thank carlota for this, and I want to say that I truly appreciate it. First times are always unforgettable. I have been blogging seriously for more than 2 months now. This is one of those moments that I felt proud and contented with what I have achieved in my blogging journey. It’s all worth it. It’s not that easy to maintain a blog. You have to have passion, dedication and you have to love writing and sharing your thoughts. Without these ingredients, you will not be successful in your journey. One of the goals of this blog is to let people know that each mind, is creative and is full of magic and mystery. As you can see on my welcome page, on the upper left, one of aim is to make this site popular. I am gradually reaching that goal, and I am glad for all my avid readers and friends who kept their trust on me.

If you are still a new blogger, I encourage you to never lose hope and to have passion in what you are doing. When the going gets stuff, what keeps you going and motivated is your passion and love for what you are doing. Blogging is not just about writing nonsense articles, more so, its not all about getting money from your blog. It’s more of sharing a bit of yourself to others, letting them have a peak on your emotions and inner thoughts. That’s what blogging is all about for me. And that’s what creative thoughts is all about.

Few days ago, I received a message from fay, the administrator of Blogging Women that my blog has already been published on their system. Wow, I really felt glad, because I had been waiting for it for quiet some time already. It really made me glad. You can see on the picture the layout of their blog and you can see my blog in the center.
If you don’t know what blogging women is yet, let me tell you. Blogging women is some sort of directory where you can find the best of the best women’s blog. Yes, you heard it right. They don’t automatically accept any blog. They have to process and manually edit it, after you submit it on their site. If you are a woman and you think your blog has the guts to go for it, I suggest you give it a try. It’s worth it. It feels great when your site is published and featured on another blog. So if you are interested you can submit your blogs at Blogging Women too.

I have just discovered a great site here. Nowadays it’s easy to publish online and be read by thousands. If you are a great writer, expect that you will have more visitors and readers. One of the probably most read websites I have found is the Art, Craft and Design Blog by one of our bloggers on the web. If you have a passion for art and design, this site is made for you. The readers range from 67,000 and wow, it really made me think at first that this might be a really good site. I checked on the posts and I can say that most of it are very informative and helpful. The writer gives you tips on where you can get information on different topics. For a newbie in the blogging world like me, this site is really helpful as there are a lot of topics about blogging that are really worth reading. She really writes well and her reviews or opinion on different topics from credit cards, to blogging, to movies are amazing. So, guys I urge you to take a look at her site and give her a visit. You’ll never regret it. Do you like art and design?

Blogger is just getting better. Now, it is getting more convenient and user friendly. It has just launched a new feature. Now, blogger allows you to schedule your posts to be posted at a later date. Let’s say you have plenty of time right now, and you know that you will not be able to update your blog everyday anymore because you will be busy on coming days. Well, you don’t have to worry anymore. All you have to do on blogger, is to post’s date into the future, and blogger will wait to publish it until the scheduled date of your choice.
How to do it?
just create a post the normal way, and then click the post options below on your post editor page, after your done with the post, then it will show the date that you can change at a future date, and then you just have to click on publish. It will not be published, but instead it will be listed on your posts, if you go to edit posts, you will see that it is scheduled. When the time comes on when you set it, it will be automatically posted. Great news right? I’m already using it as of now, as there are some days that I am really very inspired to write and I can’t stop but write and write, and there are also days that I feel drained and don’t have any idea in my head. hehe.
Blogger rocks!
