Thanks to Nick Ramsey at Nice4Rice.com for posting a review of my blog! I think it’s the first full-fledged site review of MsDanielle.com.

The dictionary defines ethics as “a set of principles of right conduct,” or “a theory or a system of moral values.” Attorneys, journalists, doctors, etc, are held to a standard of ethics in order to uphold the integrity of their professions. But as bloggers, do we each follow a general code of ethics, or do […]

I’m definitely not anything close to being a webmaster. In fact, if someone paid me right now for being their site webmaster, I’d feel really bad for them.

So yesterday I met up with my friends Gary and Derek at Gary’s local Souplantation. I don’t know how many Souplantation locations there are, or if they’re even in other states (and right now, I’m too lazy to look it up), but it’s a soup and salad joint. It’s one of those “you either love […]

I read this article recently that says blogging is now 10 years old. Ten years ago, I was in college, and I barely knew how to turn on a computer, let alone keep a blog. I didn’t know what blogging was, like most people. It wasn’t until very recently that I even became curious about […]

If you read a lot of blogs these days, you’re probably seeing a lot of speed-linking. Speed-linking is basically posting a bunch of links into one grouping. Sometimes they have descriptions, and sometimes they don’t. Usually the links are to blogs that you read, or posts you find funny — basically just giving shout-outs to […]
