Country Living

You just never know what I’ll be up to around here. I could be quilting one day and building a barn the next. I just love living on our 10 acres with our heapin’ mess of critters.

Down Home Cooking

Cooking is really the first social networking activity humans ever learned. I love simple, good tasting, home cooked food (if it’s healthy that’s a perk!). Pull up a stool to the counter and sip some coffee while we whip up some supper together.

Family Life

Family is what life is all about. No one is going to leave this earth and wish they had spent more time at work. Some simple things to enhance your family life. “Try it, you’ll like it.”

The Moxie Mom

One of the joys of my life is getting to be a stay-at-home mom. I am so blessed to have a husband who supports me in this endeavor of raising our children. We have fun with homeschooling, 4-H, church, our farm/ranch/zoo and love living in Texas.

WordPress

My favorite blogging platform is WordPress.org. There are just so many possibilities. Want some “how-to” in layman’s terms? See some of my favorite tips, tweaks, plugins and themes that WordPress has to offer while avoiding some pitfalls.

A Little Birdie Told Me…About Twitter

Submitted by Wendy Merritt on Wednesday, 30 July 2008No Comment

A Little Birdie Told Me…

A Little Birdie Told Me...About TwitterTwitter is one of those really unique sites that allows you to become a leader just by letting people know what you’re doing in the world. Sound cool? It is…but a word to the wise…don’t abuse your power. Just like “The Force” Twitter needs to be respected. So before I give you my favorite Twitter apps, I’m going to give you few ways NOT to use Twitter:

1) Don’t SPAM people. Very simply, we all know what it is…but sometimes it’s easy to let a little slip in. The best way to lose followers is to drive them crazy with Spam.

2) Don’t over do it. When Twitter asks, “What are you doing?” we don’t need update every half-hour. Be relevant, resourceful and current and you’ll make a lot of friends.

3) Don’t insult, abuse, belittle or be a meanie.
