With all the information out there… how do you filter it?
Apparently my brain has developed some kind of algorithm for that, and it makes lightning-fast decisions. I can decide in a nanosecond if an article or product interest me, and if it doesn’t, I move on.
Best advice for bloggers out there?
Think about who your intended audience is and what would be most interesting to them. Yes, your child is undoubtedly the next Picasso, but if your blog is about technology, you probably should resist the temptation to post that finger painting of a kitty. Edit, edit! ( Sure, I say that now, but just watch. I’ll be the one posting that kitty next week. And I don’t even have kids.)
Anything else you’d like to share?
Um… um… I can’t think of anything. Something brilliant will probably come to me in the shower tomorrow.

Lovely photos of a great blogger we love to follow!
This profile was great to read. I adore her blog and said “Wow!” to many of her ideas and links. I’m not a crafter by any means, but she’s got such an eye for cool stuff. The photo of her surrounded by her fabric is my fav
Too bad I wasn’t blogging when ‘she’ was that young Picasso… I’d have put her art work on the blog, anyway!
Love the photos!
Her mum

Great photos on your site! I really like your work.
Can you PLEASE tell me about this orange rectangle fabric! I LOVE it!
I’m one of those 8,000+ readers who follows How About Orange everyday and I wanted to say THANKS for interviewing Jessica so we could all get to know her better! I started reading her blog because of my love of orange, but I stay because it’s wacky good fun. Even the deodorant! ha!
Jessie, thanks for hiking over to my office and taking these lovely photos!
