If you're wondering why I've been silent lately... It's because I'm still sleeping during the day & awake at night... Until today...

I woke up around 1p (THANKS UPS! haha) & I'm STILL awake! Just very groggy still... we'll see how long I make it.

As for the new 4.0... I'm not a big fan of it. I guess it will take some getting used to. I mean we are stuck with it, aren't we? So, I guess I'll stop complaining & just find ways to get around what I am calling "fall backs".

That's all for now. Like I said, still groggy... so short on words.
Toodles! :)

Yep... I got the update today... I was looking forward to it, sort of! & Tell ya what... It's not all that it's cracked up to be... I can see why a lot are complaining.

The stuff that was on the right side bar is not anywhere I can find at the moment. IE: The Staff Blog & important updates.

Calendar upcoming dates are not easily seen either. You can set it up so that you can see you calendar, but you see the whole month.

The tool bar I use shows when there is a new pm or post by a contact & I would click on that icon & it would show me only those new messages. NOW, it takes you to ALL your PM's (& etc.) & the new ones are mixed in with stuff read already.

Since I've gone through my messages, I can't show you an example just yet. I will later on.

I do know that Kitty was taking screen shots of the before & after... so, I may just wait & link to her blog.

Well, I am getting groggy... even after sleeping so much since I got home from Grammy-sitting... & it's only 1a ;o)

Maybe my internal clock is trying to reset! Ha! I'll believe it when it happens! :)

btw... I only give this a 3 of 5 because I'm still trying to figure things out. I have a feeling I'll have to get used to it... & that they'll not bring back the old way.

Oh, & if you used your Media Locker a lot... it's very similar to that! (I didn't use it often because... well, I just didn't like it.)

Ok. That's all for now. Toodles! :)

The great title debate

Since my mind can't seem to focus on the book I should be finishing... I decided to finally do a blog that's been on my mind for quite some time.

If you want a lot of people to come read your blog... then I suggest you give it a great title. Plus be sure to make your 1st two lines worth it also, because more than likely if you don't, you probably won't get anyone beside your contacts to view your writings.

Now, don't get me wrong... there ARE times you a title just can't be eye catching... You just have to remember, it may not grab the attention of Joe Schmo. It could be you just want to update your close friends on something... & when that's the case, it should then be just addressed to contacts only.

Maybe all your blogs are just to let your friends know what's up. Then you don't need to be the clever one to come up with a snazzy title... BUT if you really really want to get some attention... then try to give a title worth wanting the reader to click on.

Think of it this way... Newspapers come up with the oddest headlines sometimes... because they want to try to get as much interest as possible.

Which story would you want to read:
"How to find a lost penguin"
or
"The poop on finding penguins"

That's actually a headline!! I even included the link for you!! :o)

Ok... I am not sure if those a good example or not.

Now, mind you... there are some titles that will get you to start to read the article / blog... but then if it's not interesting to that person... they'll just move on. So, with that in mind... REMEMBER, you cannot please everyone!

So, let me ask you this... what attracts you to a story, or blog? (Especially when it's not a real close friend that you read every (or nearly) blog they write.)

No, not going to take a poll, because there are way too many possibilities... so, I will leave it up to you to comment.

(Can you tell I've lost my steam in this? I'm sure I'll be back to add more as I remember!)
