I told you guys that I would be sporting sunglasses all this week. My allergies are about to be the death of me. Cedar Fever has taken over. I want to scratch my eyeballs out, own a few shares of stock in Kleenex and chug hot, lemon tea all day long. It happens every year at this time, but once February hits, I am good to go.
Anywho, shall we get to some random?
1. I am honestly considering switching to WordPress. Blogger has been giving me fits, but I am worried about taking on another project at this very moment. I have even considered hiring someone to design and create an actual website for me that it not blogged based. Trying to do some research and weigh my options. Any help on this matter is GREATLY appreciated.
2. I had a business use an image from my blog that they found on Pinterest. They posted it on one of their social media channels without tagging me or giving any credit. I am NOT blaming them because they probably didn't get it from my Pinterest board, but from someone else who pinned it. Don't get me wrong. I was beyond flattered that they liked my photograph enough to use it in a campaign, but deep down I wanted to see my name next to it. Am I being too greedy or self absorbed? I know I should probably watermark all my photos, but in my opinion it's distracting and people can always crop them out. I wonder how often this happens? How many images of yours are being used without proper credit or a link back? It's a little scary and disheartening since we all work really hard on our photographs, content and posts. I actually saw the same thing happen in another blog post I was reading last week. I knew the person in the photograph that was used, but the author didn't credit the source. I guess this is part of the Pinterest game, but please always try to find the original author/photographer. It's only fair and you would want people to do the same for you.
3. My Invisalign trays FINALLY came in. I am heading to grab them today. Oh.my.word. The next 12-18 months are not going to be fun where my mouth is concerned. Huge habit changes are about to take place.
4. I write this blog 50% for myself and 50% for you guys. So, I was wondering what topics you would like to see more of in 2014 related to style, beauty, how-to's, life in general, blogging tips or anything else that interests you. Please don't request recipes, fitness or comedy. I promise you won't enjoy it. Seriously though, I want to know.
