What are your all time favourite books?

24 June 2007 Labels: Personal News 18 comments

This is a a photo of my bookcase. Most of the books feature art and dance. One of my dance books is signed by Dame Margot Fonteyn , another signed by Rudolf Nureyev and another is written in Russian.
I have the Bible, a few cookbooks and some general interest books.
There are many more books in the basement....luckily we moved them before the recent storms.....I have autobiographies, biographies, short stories, poems, inspirational books, motivational books and more books on art, dance, music and theatre...
My most favourite three books are:
1. The Bible
2. My Life in Art (Stanislavsky)
3. The Road Less Travelled (Scott Peck)

The Viral Tags and Viral Icons really do work !!!!!!!

Viral Tags...I'm on a roll !!!!

19 June 2007 Labels: Memes 29 comments

Andy Coates originally started a link building program that he called viralinks. Then Jimmy Huen at Founders Cafe developed Viral Tags.

I have been trying to ignore these where ever I go....but today I was over at Saboma's place, Maryannaville....and I just couldn't resist...she makes it sound so easy...so here goes the viral tags
from CrazyHarp81602 ...
full instructions available at The Anitokid's site

============== Copy and Paste below this line ================

Host Tag: laketrees

Important: Once I get a ping back from you, I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more back links you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

================ Copy and Paste from Above this line ==========

Rules
No Porn Sites
Only 1 link per person (i.e don’t hog the viralink!)
Please don’t tamper with other peoples urls

Viral Icons...doing it the visual way !!!!!

18 June 2007 Labels: Memes 14 comments

I think I would rather be a brain surgeon than try to work out how I managed this BUT if you follow the directions (by the expert, Ilker) below you should get it ......

clipped from http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/06/improve-pr-with-viral-links-and-youtube.html

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “Viral Icons” below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from The Thinking Blog.

2.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16x16 pixels) to ImageShack, a similar free image hosting server or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.

3.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the “Viral Icons” in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.

Here is an example: <a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/06/YOUR URL HERE"><img alt="YOUR KEYWORDS HERE" src="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/06/YOUR FAVICON DIRECT LINK HERE"/></a>

4.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their “Viral Icons”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon’s code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.
