FREE Simple-ology Blogging Course

Hello my fellow bloggers. As one of the first bloggers on the net (before there even were blogs), I have posted my own advice for bloggers in the past. Well, fellow blogger Todd McKeever tipped me off to a free online course on blogging from the folks at Simple-ology, but for it to be free, you have to paste some code on your site. So here is my required posting: I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.It covers: The best blogging techniques. How to get traffic to your blog. How to turn your blog into money. I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free. I apologize for some of the language on the site linked above. (Here on Kidologist.com we would prefer to say “kick bumbee” for something really really good.) But I will let you know in an update what I think of the course – whether it truly kicks bumbee, or kicks the can.UPDATE: I never could get past…

25 Days of Christmas Music!

Well, OK, so there is only 22 days left, but you can still get the FREE DOWNLOADS from the days you missed! Bigbandtacularswingaganza! If you like Christmas music and you are tired of the 17 or 18 that are played on the radio over and over, you must head over to Tannerworld Junction, the forum where-EVERYTHING-is-discussed created by Kidology’s Director of Web Operations. (AKA, if it works there first, try in on Kidology.org!) Be sure to say “I discovered you on Kidologist.com” so I can finally win one of Steve’s contests. (I’m still sore I didn’t win the Star Wars lego tie fighter!) Every day you will get a new Christmas song you’ve probably never heard before, and a chance to talk about it if you wish. (Yes, you can win something too!) And be sure to get the downloads from previous years that are only up this month! Over 9 hours of awesome Christmas music! So? What are you waiting for? GO ALREADY!

Trash Can Mystery

In honor of the Ultimate Blogger, Steve Tanner, I present to you my very own Trash Can photo mystery! CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE THESE TRASH CANS ARE FROM? I actually thought these were the sharpest looking waste receptacles I’d ever seen! (If you think it is strange to blog trash cans, you’d be wrong.)

What makes a good BLOG?

I get asked a LOT for advice on blogs – how to start one – what to put on them – how to add pictures – what to say – how to promote – etc. I’m not going to answer any of those questions here! Instead, I’d like to suggest the First Question any blogger should answer. Before I go on, let me start by saying I do NOT consider myself an expert on blogging – nor to I think my blog lives up to my own suggestions listed below. But I have been bloggin’ for 32 consistant months, which makes my blog rare and reading blogs since 2002. In fact, I was making blog posts since before there were blogs! (sample, sample, & sample) Someone please buy me this shirt! As one noted pessimist once stated, “The Blogosphere is exploding- like a self-replicating supervirus bursting with mundane observations, bad poetry, and generously misrepresentative photos. Never have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” – Dr. E. L. Kersten, Founder – Despair, Inc. O.K. – here is the “BIG QUESTION” I ask anyone who asks me any question about blogging – the most…

the Kidhelper is now a Blogger!

Barney Kindard, aka, the “Kidhelper” has been a friend of mine since I was a kid. In fact, I got my Call to children’s ministry in one of his “Barney’s Barrel” 5 day programs when I was a kid. Read about it in “The Kidologist’s Salvation Testimony” on Kidology.org Whether we are hangin’ out at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, or eating at In-n-Out: we’re usually up to something fun: the few times a year we are able to get together and work on some joint ministry project such as the new: Kidology Coaching! BUT ANYWAY – the point of this post is that Barney has launched a new site (with the help of a friend who will remain safely anonymous on Alderan) and I’m quite proud of how fast he has become an interesting and regular blogger! CHECK OUT HIS NEW SITE, and add his RSS feed to your feed reader of choice! WWW.KIDHELPER.COM Make Barney’s day and leave a comment on his site! 90/38
