Yeah, my widgets are getting out of control, but most of my readers use RSS apps anyway. Aren’t crazy amounts of plugins half the fun of blogging?

My latest site “enhancement” is my Ban That widget you can see on the top of my sidebar. It’s a fun site to tell the world about things you hate and why.

I’ve wanted a cartoon image of myself for my website for a while now. So, when I came across CartoonMe.com I figured there wasn’t much to lose for $3.

Check out the results.

All I had to do was send a picture and the next day I received my cartoon. Notice I wasn’t wearing a purple shirt though! Never!

If you’re interested in creating a custom wordpress template for your personal or business blog you should check out this reference. It’s not an easy road, but this tutorial will put you on the right path better than any I’ve seen.

Many of us, including myself, have our collection of blogs that we read each day. I nearly feel sick if I don’t know what’s going on with my favorite “reads” each day. If you are reading this chances are you know that feeling all too well. As always, rapid growth invites innovation. Savvy entreprenuers continue to find ways to monetize this buzz industry. The folks at ReviewMe were the latest to catch my eye.

ReviewMe offers solutions for publishers to make an income off their creative blog posts and advertisers to find a new marketing source. New businesses attempting to build an online awareness of their products will find this especially useful. One other perk that comes to mind involves the continued decrease of ad click throughs. Web users are becoming more and more familiar with the look and feel of contextual advertising and avoiding it. ReviewMe helps advertisers place content contributed by unique publishers in the main body of websites.

Although the list of new, hip contextual advertisers is extensive, I imagine we will see ReviewMe around for some time. I’ve tried these guys out and only have good things to say about them and gladly give my endorement.

Over the past few years I’ve become addicted to reading my list of blogs each morning. The majority of these blogs are related to internet marketing and search engine optimization. I’ve compiled quite a list of the top blogs in the industry (I’ll get around to posting the list one of these days), but I’ve also found some blogs that aren’t so well known of significant value. Apogee Search Marketing Blog is one of those.

More to come soon…
