A little blog housekeeping here. Don’t run away. Please.
When I was little, I was in Bluebirds and/or Brownies and I learned the song that’s first verse is “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold.” I have lots of good “old” (the term is not in reference to age) friends and I am making some new ones.
I have been neglectful in mentioning that I was awarded this I Love Your Blog award. Twice. First, Fantastagirl, from The Adventures of Fantastagirl, gave it to me. Um, a long time ago. Then about a week or so ago, Wander, from Wander’s World, gave it to me again. I really have no excuse for not putting it up. Well, except that I was either without computer, working, doing lots of end of the summer stuff, doing family stuff or I was having lots of inspiration for posting fodder. I’m sorry. I hope you guys will forgive me for not getting to this sooner. Thank you for bestowing this upon me. You are good, long time (that’s better than old, isn’t it?) friends.
I’m sure you all noticed that I did some changing around here. Not only did I change the template, but, in an extreme period of geekiness, I signed up for a bunch of social networking stuff. This is the making new friends part. You can follow me or friend me at these places, among others: digg, LinkedIn, Mixx, see my Netflix queue, Plurk, Reddit, Stumbleupon (give me some Stumble love), Vimeo and Popego.
My Popego link over there in the sidebar is really cool. It’s just below my FriendFeed button. Click on it. I’ll wait. *whistling* You back? Isn’t that cool? You can also click through to the actual site and it will show you all my moves around the net and stuff I’ve posted and whatever. FriendFeed also does thata. You can click on my FF link over there, too. I think Popego is more organized and easier to read than FF, so if you were only going to sign up for one, I’d recommend Popego.
Of course you can still find me at YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and gtalk (shellimil is my gtalk username). Good grief, you would think that I don’t have a real life or something. Wait, do I? The really cool thing about FriendFeed and Popego is that it pulls it all together for you through some weird Internet magic thing. I don’t know if that scares me or thrills me. hmmmm…Can you say extreme dork? Yep that’s me.
All that stuff that I just talked about is in the sidebar. Take a look around. Also, there is a box that says, “Shelli’s Shared Items”. That’s the stuff that I read in my Google Reader that I think is worth sharing with the rest of the world. Check it out and then check back again from time to time. You might be there sometimes or you may find a new friend or two.
(Quick note: If you didn’t see my post that I did from my Blackberry and you have a smartphone such as Blackberry or iPhone, you should check it out. It’s about a cool plugin you can get for your WordPress blog that allows you to publish from your phone. It’s pretty awesome.)
(Quick note 2: It was my Mom’s birthday yesterday. Happy birthday, Mom. I didn’t post yesterday or I would have mentioned it then. She’s old now. Almost old enough to retire. She has to win the lottery first so she can help support me, too.)
As much as I’d like to join you on some of these sites, I simply don’t have time. I have a Plurk and Stumbleupon account already, but I rarely use them!

Robins last blog post..Bullet-free post..
Hilly–I’m terrible with keeping up with it all too. I don’t really know what I was thinking of. Just a total dork, I am. LOL
Stan–Thank you.
Simon–Thank you! Back atchya!
Suzi–Now that I can’t get it on my cell, I have difficulty with that, too. When you see me tomorrow smack me upside the head! LOL
Sandi–You got me. How much more do you need? LOL
FG–Good question. Oh, I think that I was busy leading my kids’ lives then. I don’t get to have my own life in the summer.
Pand0ra–How could I forget that? I get reminders every day. You need to enlighten me more about it. I don’t get what I am supposed to be doing over there. I’m kind of a dork that way.
Robin–Wait, don’t run away. What do you mean?
Hi Shelli.. your Popego looks awesome!!
I’m very glad that you like our service. There are lots of improvements coming soon, so stay tuned. I’m quite positive that you’ll like what we have in store.
