Aussie Bloggers Secret Santa

By Sue Bride (Sueblimely) | Published: December 16, 2008

Stationery gifts were the theme of the first Aussie Bloggers Forum Secret Santa and although I use the PC far more than pen and paper I am still a stationery Magpie. My blogging nest never fails to make room for more but there is also a need for containers to hold it all so that I can lay my beak on what I need when I need it.

By Sue Bride (Sueblimely) | Published: December 12, 2008

  Brightening up your blog for Christmas may need the services of stock photo sites. There are plenty of sites offering free Christmas images and clipart but it is hard to find your way through popup ads and flashing glittery images (that is not intended for Christmas) to find something useful.

If you are asked what presents you would like for Christmas why not choose something that will make your blogging life easier: A tux droid sounds like a perfect blogger’s companion. Take this cute little wifi penguin with you around the house and he will alert you of new RSS feeds and incoming email. Keep him by your side at the computer for when you are totally absorbed in writing posts. He will speak your Google calendar events out loud so that you cannot ignore your appointments. I wonder if he can be programmed to say “You have a comment”? [...] Continue Reading…
