I’m trying to kick my butt into having some discipline about posting more regularly (that is, more than once a week). The plan is to try and publish 3x per week - two regular posts and one link roundup. My first link roundup was very popular, thanks to my very first stumble, so that made me feel really good and made me want to do more of these. This one will be looooong since it’s been a couple of weeks.

That being said…

• I have my very first guest post today! A while back, I posted a comment on a Top Ten Blog Tips post entitled 10 well-known blogging tips - and what I think of them, and it inspired me to actually write a guest post. It took a few weeks, and Ben helped me come up with the last tip, but I did it, and he’s publishing it today. Go check out my 10 Tips for Personal Bloggers.
• Since I wrote about my favorite color the other day, and forgot to mention this, I’m mentioning it now. There are two blogs that I’ve been reading for awhile now that are dedicated to turquoise. It’s light reading and some fantastic eye candy. Check out House of Turquoise and Everything Turquoise. They’re part of the Decor by Color group of blogs, so if turquoise isn’t your thing, there are other options as well.
• Because I am a home decor whore, I read a lot of home decor blogs. AtticMag recently had a picture of a gorgeous mosaic tile floor in a bathroom that reminded me of the Roman style mosaic floors. I love mosaic, and I told Mister that as soon as we have the means, we are having a floor like that in our bathroom. And for all you fans of Polyvore, who want something more house-based, check out My Deco. You can’t upload the pic directly to your blog like polyvore, but you can save a screenshot using a Firefox addon like Picnik.
• A blog I stumbled on this week, The Future Buzz, declares that Blogging Never Went Away. Amen to that! Don’t listen to the articles on the internet that try to tell you blogging is dead. My theory is that the people who say that are trying to get rid of any perceived competition. If you love it, blog to your heart’s content!
• A music blog that I found recently features a high proportion of music that falls into the “angsty chick music” genre that I prefer. (Thank Mister for the name of that genre.) Music & More even has full length song samples of the artists that are featured embedded into the post so that you can add those albums to your list of CDs to buy.
• Jordon just got home from two whole months backpacking around Europe, which is something I think a lot of people want to do or wish they had done when they were younger. I did it for a month in 1996, though I didn’t see nearly as much as Jordon did. I don’t think Jordon will be forgetting this trip anytime soon, or ever. This is exactly the sort of thing I talked about when I told you all to step away from your comfort zone. Good things can happen.
• My friend, Fresh Peaches, did a recent feature on artists that make vinyl wall decals. Wall decals have been popping up all over the place lately, and they’re great because there’s no limit to how you can use them, they can easily be removed, and they are way cooler than wallpaper or traditional art. Check out the offerings from Dali Wall Decals or their cool sister site, Badass Wall Decals. The best thing about them is that you get a lot of personality for not a lot of money! Budget decorating, anyone?
• This might be old news to some of you, but a few weeks ago Dave2 witnessed a miracle.
• Did I mention that I did my first guest post this week? Because I totally did. Read it here.

So that’s what I’ve been seeing around the internet this week. Have a great weekend!
