A few new rules and options for /r/blogtraffic.

I've been thinking of ideas and new rules for /r/blogtraffic for the last couple of days and here are some of my ideas:

A new rule will be that you can submit a specific post from your blog once every week. This helps you stay relevant and hopefully captures the interests of other bloggers.

Another new rule is that you must be subscribed to /r/blogtraffic in order to post your blog here.

A new option is that you may post a link to your blog in any comment you have on the subreddit as long as you give relevant and quality feedback to OP's post. Saying things like "cool blog" then putting your link is not allowed. Saying things like "I really like your post on photography in 2012, but I think you should make your archive more visible so more people can see the previous posts" then posting a link to your blog is an example of what you should do.


If you have any other suggestions then let me know in the comments on this post or on reddit.
Thank you!

I started a new subreddit called /r/blogtraffic.

I started a new subreddit called /r/blogtraffic and it's for anyone and everyone to share their blogs with the world. The point of /r/blogtraffic is to gain readers and possibly find people with similar interests in blogging on the topics you like or things you're interested in.

The only rules so far are
1. Tag NSFW posts appropriately.
2. No posts that are specifically for selling things.

Other than that, go ahead and post your blog and see how many people are interested!

Leave comments below if you have any questions or concerns.

How I feel when it's cold in the south.

I'm from Michigan and most of the people I've talked to in the south think 45 degrees is "cold."

Anyways, I'm about to go to some thrift stores to hopefully get great deals on old things. Wish me luck!

This is why I hate fortune cookies...

This is NOT a fortune. And where do they get their "lucky" numbers from? I can do that too! Your lucky numbers are 34, 23, 45, 86, 26. I did that by closing my eyes, pushing my entire hand on the number part of my keyboard, then separating every two digits by commas. Go ahead. Use them to play the lottery if you want. See if you win...
(But seriously, if you win then kick me a few grand.)

Thrift store finds today!

I went out and about to different thrift stores today and I scored a copy of Pokemon Stadium 2 for around 2 dollars and a Gameboy Color for around 6 dollars.

Both working and fully functional. They both have a bit of wear and tear(scratches and stuff of that nature) but overall working and perfect for the price I paid.
On Pokemon Stadium 2 there appears to be the previous owner's pokemon so I don't have to worry about tracking down the thing that lets me import pokemon from the gameboy game.
Overall a great day.

Everyone knows the corner pieces on brownies are the best!

If you're like me and many others and you love the corner pieces of brownies, give this a shot:

That's right! A cupcake cooking tray. It makes awesome brownies all day long and there's no longer any arguments over who gets the corner pieces. It also makes it so you can use frosting on one if you want without frosting every piece. I prefer

Speaking of Christmas trees..

Here's a little thing I learned about Christmas tree lights: they ALWAYS get tangled. Here's something to remember to do when you go to put them away this year.
Wrap the lights around a piece of cardboard or styrofoam and push the plug into it to keep in in place.

See? No more problem next year. Simple yet effective.

Next year when you go to set up your tree or go to decorate outside you'll cut your time in half this way. I've found that it also helps prevent light bulbs from breaking or popping out. Be sure to put each bundle into a separate grocery store bag, too. That way there's no risk even if it starts to unravel on it's own.
What are some other neat tricks to help keep holiday decorations organized? Let me know in the comments if you want!
