BlogBuzz #5: My Opinion Counts, and a little more…

In 2007, I started doing a few BlogBuzzes for people, and in 2008 I am continuing my BlogBuzz. This is a great way to get your blog seen around the Net, and I get my blog seen on your blog… We all win!

We’ve already had a bunch of Buzzes handed out to great bloggers… If you’re still interested, drop me a line in the contact form. Do complete the opp first. The buzzes can be short or long, but at least a minimum of 50 words, please!

Karen’s Opinion is Buzz Number 5 on my list! Welcome to this Buzz and let’s take a look at your blog.

In fact, I already buzzed one of Karen’s blogs last year, if you remember. Karen is an avid blogger and authors at least three blogs that I know of, perhaps more! Her chosen topics are more suited to a general blog where the blog reflects the interests of the author, rather than a niche blog. In many ways, it’s similar to one of my own blog’s style (like Investorblogger used to be). Here are some of her chosen areas that are of likely interest to my own readers: Blogging and computers, Entertainment Movies Arts Books, Food, Our Business, our home, a work in progress and Travel. You can also visit their business website at MosersFloorCoverings. I tried to get an appointment for our house in Taipei, but they said it was out of their business area… Well, imagine that! Those floor coverings do look good.

That’s it for Buzz #5. I think I managed to hit more than one blog on that buzz! If you are interested, just read about the buzz and drop me a line!

Venus who is the blogger at Mum’s Finance wrong me a lovely long buzz! I had promised it for yesterday, but one of my friend’s got his picture in the news here, so I held it over to boost his blog!

Anyway, Mum’s Finance covers a wider range of topics than I had expected, including bank accounts, making money, property, general finance, and even shopping. Here are some of the posts that caught my attention!

I must confess, I may pass on the lingerie posts though!

If you’d like to be featured, get yourself a buzz from InvestorBlogger’s new series of BlogBuzzes before they’re all gone!

Buzz: Craig is in the News!

This post is the second in my series of buzzes for blogs in 2008!

In 2006, Craig contacted me about helping him host his website and gallery. With the changes at Flickr, this is looking like a smart move on his part… esp. if Microsoft get their hands on Flickr. They’ll surely kill it, just as they destroyed HoTMaiL.

Since then he’s been building his gallery with lots of wonderful pictures. He tried Gallery, then PixelPost before settling on CopperMine in the current configuration. Since the addition of his blog, his traffic has been building gradually as people find his website and gallery. He regularly asks for advice and suggestions on his blog, plugins, themes, and stuff. It’s fun to see how he builds his blog a little every day.

So, it was great to see that he’d been published in a local newspaper (hey, all publicity helps!)

I’m sure he’ll be tickled pink when he sees the Google News page in Chinese… He’s there, too!

The article roughly says that Mr. Ferguson has been involved in activities of the Tachia Matsu Festival for four years and that he is quite interested in religious activities here, including “the surging crowds, the beautiful temple architecture, the tour of inspection ceremony, puppet shows and even special performers and performing groups” all of which he captures on his camera. The photographs are delicate, moving and accurate representations for the events. (Sorry for my poor translation skills!).

Way to go! Pity you didn’t mention your website! Oh, well there’s always next time!
