As some of you know i heart twitter and although i probably spend a little too much time there. I find it to be a life saver since i work from home and things can get stale with no one else around.

For me Twitter is like a water cooler, you know the place to go and shoot the breeze with others like minded. Yes it is also fantastic for networking and so much more. It isn’t just about the chit chat.

But getting back to my original thought, i created the t-shirt blog to showcase the coolest tees by for and about Twitter. So far so good. I have a nice round up already. Do visit and let me know what you think?

And of course follow me. Tweet Tweet.

I have also won:

There are numerous participants, including myself, with my Groovy Vegetarian blog. I have no idea how to compete, well correction, (i do have a few ideas) to boost my RSS count. Mainly a contest is planned.

Do follow the Blogging Idol Contest here. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my vegetarian blog, do so now.

Contests and/ or group projects are great motivators to get something done, so i’m hoping this contest helps move me to ramp it up.

I’m having trouble with my FTP client (net2ftp) already, its been acting up since yesterday, so the drama begins early. Arggh!

Much to do tomorrow, including: registering the domain name, setting up the blog on its platform, adding the feedburner account, setting it up on Google Analytics, and generally getting it started.

Stay tuned, and do follow the blog flipping contest.

It is the newest craze in twitterland. You know i really have to come up with a devilishly clever term to describe something. Lets see what awefabulous niftyrella groovycheese whippercrack word i can conjure up. Anywho to get back on topic, lets say a thing or two on Twellow.

Twellow allows members of micro blogging site Twitter, to easily search for other members of common interest. Say you want to meet and mingle with other greenies or vegetarians?  Head on over to the green or vegetarian categories, or alternatively you can perform a search. As you will see (yours truly) is #6 in the veggie category. You can also add yourself to the list here.

Who comes up first, second, and so on, on the list is ordered up by number of followers. He who has the most ends up first on the list for said category.

I played around with Twellow, one pet peeve, is the inability to follow directly from their interface. Like when i search for like minded people, naturally the next step would be to follow them. But alas i still need to head on over to Twitter for this.  Arrggh!

All in all the new twitter app Twellow…..is groovycheese! (i know. i know. that isnt quite as cool a term as awesomesauce)

***more blogger talk about Twellow at Technorati and Google Blog Search. You can also follow awesomesauce.

If you run a blog (or blogs) then you will surely fall in love with WordPress and it’s many features. One issue you will have early on is deciding amongst the plethora of wordpress themes available. There are both free WP themes and also paid versions of WP themes. Let me quickly tell you about Structure from Justin Tadlock, a free WP theme.

I’m really digging this wordpress theme Structure by Justin Tadlock. It is a magazine style theme with great composition, layout, and cool web 2.0 features such as video embed, an image gallery, and prominent 125×125 ad placeholders.

You can tell when a blogger designs a WP theme because they throw in (blogger specific extras) like Justin has done. You will find several useful wordpress plugin’s built in the theme. This one is hot and did i mention it’s 100% free. Also should you need any help, Justin has a support forum open to everyone.

Looking for a modern WordPress theme? Try Structure by Justin Tadlock.

Or Try A WordPress Theme Club

Have you heard of wordpress theme clubs? You pay an annual fee (anywhere between 20 to 40 dollars) and you get access to a variety of premium exclusive designs.

Take a look at these premium wordpress themes by Elegant WordPress. The cost to join the club is an annual $20 fee and you get access to all the premium themes on the site. My favorite theme at Elegant is Who’s Who and eVid, a theme for video bloggers. It is well worth the 20 bucks.
