My new Partnership with The Find

I just added a new feature to this site. Do you see that shopping link in the top right hand corner of the page? Well, that will take you to my shopping page.

I’ve partnered with The Find. They contacted me, oh … at least two months ago, asking if I wanted to partner with them and offer some great shopping deals to my site visitors. I was interested from the start, but the opportunity came up at a very busy time for me and I was slow to get the ball rolling. In the meantime, the great people at The Find made it easier for me to get my sites listed and once that happened. I started the process last week, and earlier today I was told that all my sites were accepted.

The company made it easy to add shopping listings. You can visit the Shopping page of my site to see a selection of items or use the search at the top of that page to look for virtually anything you might want to buy. I’ve also added a shopping widget to my sidebar to catch your eye.

Now for the really cool stuff. I can add shopping links directly into my posts. I’m actually going to experiment here in this post so bear with me. For example if I were talking about the clothing a particular celebrity was wearing – say a pair of beautiful pumps, all I have to do is add a special link to the word and a search link for that product will be created.

I can even link in such a way that it will automatically add an image to my post and search link, or at least I hope it will. Remember I’m experimenting in this post. Say I was talking about pumps again, but wanted and image added I just have to add the word title in the special link. Easy – I hope! (ok well that didn’t work, but I’ll get it to work, I hope, as that will certainly add to my posts.)

I think I can create shopping links in a little more direct way by searching for specific products too.

Some of the new sites I’m working on will be very shopping oriented. Heck one site is called Shopping Maniac and the other is Home and Garden Diva. I’m sure my new partnership with The Find will come in quite handy when I reveal those sites and partner them with The Find. I mean, when I’m talking about a product I love to be able to show my readers and image. Whether you click on the link and buy the product is your choice, but the addition of the image and an easy linking system will be great for me – and I hope for you too.

Fashion Faux pas?

Wordless Wednesday

I’m not sure who this lady is, but I think her friends need to send a letter to that show “What not to wear” if she makes a habit of dressing like this!

The shorts … well I guess it goes without saying that they are toooooo short! Shorts like that were in style in the 70’s.

I’m also not sure if she’s wearing running shoes or low boots? What do you think?

What are we going to do with Britney

by Tricia

Britney partied on New Years Eve. We expected that of course, but the latest news is that she partied so hard that she passed out in an L.A. nightclub.

Spears was talking with one of the male dancers in the VIP section of Pure when she was seen suddenly falling to the ground.

Spears was quickly surrounded by her security guards to screen her from public view.

She was practically carried out of the club. Spears “wasn’t drinking that much,” her manager, Larry Rudolph, told the Las Vegas Re- view-Journal. “She had been traveling all day. She got real tired. It was a late night for her.”

But witnesses told the paper that Spears, who had just led the countdown to the new year, may have been knocked off her Jimmy Choo shoes after mixing Champagne with a rum and pineapple drink.

Britney, you’re starting to make us think you have a problem. Do you?

New York bid Fairwell to James Brown

by Tricia

On Thursday, thousands of fans lined up to pay their respects and bid farewell to the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, at the Apollo Theater where the singer first made his mark 40 years ago.

Brown was 73 when he passed away early Christmas morning of congestive heart failure in Atlanta.

His body traveled on a horse-drawn carriage through New Yorks Harlem streets to the famous theater – The Apollo, on Thursday. “James Brown means everything to the black community,” said Brenda Baskin, 50, from Brooklyn, as she stood outside.

“Brown’s lyrics ‘Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud,’ opened up the doors for black people to have more pride,” she said. “He told his people to hold their heads up and that there was something for them to be prideful in — themselves.”

Browns body was taken back to his hometown of Augusta, Georgia after the New York viewing. A private service was to be held today, and an additional public viewing will be held on Saturday prior to Browns burial.

Brown was a Grammy Award winner who stood out as one of America’s greatest showmen and band leaders. His revolutionary mix of funky rhythms and staccato horns will not soon be forgotten.

The line to view James Brown’s body was the length of three city blocks. People slowly proceeding to the theater were given an inpromptu street performance by a Brown impersonator, while others sold T-Shirts and photos of Brown to those in the line.

“I came out for soul brother No. 1. That’s who he is — James ‘Butane’ Brown, the man who set the stage on fire,” said fan Fred Chinnery, 50, from New Rochelle, New York. “This man was the baddest man who ever put on a pair of dancing shoes and slid across the stage.”

Brown had been scheduled to perform in New Yorks Time square on New Years Eve. He had more than 119 singles on the charts and recorded over 50 albums, as well as performing live at events at least 100 times a year. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, and had received a lifetime Grammy achievement award.

James you will be missed.
