Thursday 13...Thirteen Websites I check too often...

Thirteen Websites I check too often...


1…. The Pink Heart Society - I have to see who is up!
2…. Romance Divas - I must check in and find out the latest.
3…. eHarlequin - Can't go too long withouty stopping by. Just yesterday Kira sold to Blaze. The sale was all the better because she was a finalist in the 1st chapter contest there and a forum regular so we all knew how hard she'd worked on revisions.
4…. Hotmail - even though I have that thing that pops up, I still check it. Weird, I know.
5…. Wild Rose Press - Because I am weird. They update best sellers weekly and I am never on the list but I check constantly just in case.
6…. Starfall - Anyone with kids learning to read should check this out. My babes love it. When they catch me working we slide over there for a bit.
7…. Yahoo Groups - I have most of my Yahoo groups set up so I only view them online. I mean, there are so many yahoo groups these days, you can do nothing all day but read yahoo and still get nothing done.
8…. Pageflakes - this is a blog cheat sheet. I think it checks the titles of about two dozen blog posts and I can click on the ones that are new and skip the people who haven't updated. Big time saver
9…. Jenna Bayley-Burke Narcisitic? Not really. A couple of times it has up and disappeared on me and I like to make sure it still exists.
10…. We Call It Research...and all the other challenge blogs on eHQ. I love to know what people are reading.
11…. Absolute Write Romance Room - Another Romance community, very friendly.
12…. StatCounter - A service that tells me people can type in "romantic short poems to melt her" and find my site. Odd.
13…. Tarot - Great way to waste time. I can find out my horoscope, and that of my family, characters...whatever...

    I think my credit card would be happier if I spent less time checking out Amazon & B&N.

  17. I check Romance Divas every day. Lots going on there. I still belong to RWA, but I'll tell ya, Romance Divas seems more like home!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh dear God. I used to spend entire days at eHarlequin. I remember way back when they had just the collapsable links for topics.

    Ah, the memories.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Definitely guilty of going to a few of those sites more than once a day.

    Eharl and RD the most though.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Okay, I have to confess, I've registered at Romance Divas and, like Absolute Write, just don't visit as often as I should. Both are neat places.

    Happy TT, Jenna! I'll have to bookmark you and come back more often; always nice to connect with fellow writers who blog.

  28. Hi Jenna:

    I enjoyed the list of sites, and was glad to see that Pageflakes is among them. I added your blog to our gallery of RSS feeds. It can be viewed under the link: http://www.pageflakes.com/Community/Content/Feeds.aspx?moduleKey=339553

    I thought you may also be interested in adding an RSS feed shortcut for Pageflakes to your page, making it even easier for users to add your blog to their pages. The link to our RSS button setup is: http://www.pageflakes.com/Pages/webmaster.aspx. If you were to add us, that would be great.

    Thanks for the support!
