Virtual Solutions for Real People

I‘m slowly crossing off items from my must-include-in-blog list. Today, I added a social bookmarking widget, Sociable.

It’s super. I’d seen it here and there and was happy to track it down.  … It also offers 97 options to choose from. 97!  97! I closed my eyes, checked boxes and gave it my best shot.

If anyone happens across this post after this blog is up and running, I’m more than happy to add your favorite social bookmarking site if it’s not showing. Let me know!

I am so impressed with Chris Pearson and his dedication to creating Raving Fans of his theme Thesis. Well worth the bucks.

Some example sites with tweaks to consider:

• Simple Mom
  • Focused and friendly
• Wild Keys
  • Header image above top nav bar. How? (Forum)
• Scribbles & Words
  • Good geek tweaks
• Mind Tweaks
  • Love the header image and attention to color detail
• Sarah Klass
  • Great use of color scheme and images
• Lyndonology
  • Simple, clean, clear
• Presentation Zen
  • Great graphic reminders
• slide:ology
  • Nice Twitter plug in and great reminder of clean visual thinking
• leveragingideas
  • Really interesting use of Sproutbuilder in rotating media spot
• charlottesvilleweddingblog
  • Nice customization, Rotating images next to header image.

Key words: Clean, compliant, visual, image-based.

About ten years ago, I took a fantastic course on creativity and creative thinking.  One take-away was the idea of always trying something you are just HORRIBLE at – and learning and growing as a result.

I must be thinking very creatively – because I just accidentally completely destroyed my blog. Sigh. I have a jam-packed week and a half ahead and look forward to rebuilding this site later in September.

Until then!
