Internet Click or Treating: Be Your Dog Dressed a Pirate

Filed Under Successful Blog, ZZZ-FUN | 8 Comments

Think of the Neighbors Who Might Want Children

The neatest part of Internet Halloween is that you can be virtually anything. Mix the theater of the mind with a little creativity and who knows what will develop? You could be the creator of spectacular click or treating innovation. I say, “Go for it!”

But before we do, let’s review a couple of disasters of Internet Halloween last year.

You might remember . . .

The idea is to know what works for you and have fun without hurting your Internet neighbors who might one day want to have children of their own. Here are some ideas for this year.

Try on a new personality. Remember in a virtual world you can be anything.

Or kick things to the highest level, be your pet dressed as your pet’s alterego.



Unfortunately the click or treaters above are no longer in the blogosphere. As they say . . .

These days on Internet even the dogs know if you’re a dog.

Happy Halloween. Safe click or treating.

What will you be for Halloween?

Now that you’re in the spirit, how’re you going to celebrate?

Don’t forget to play — at least a little!

Now YUDU It! to Win a YUDU PLUS Account or maybe a MacBook Air!

Filed Under Tools, ZZZ-FUN | 6 Comments

ARE YOU READY TO KICK IT UP A NOTCH?

The slideshow of the Brand New Blog Feeling went up earlier this afternoon. It was a thrill making it, because as I worked with captions and photos it seemed as if I got know the people who sent them in.

What was also a thrill was explaining to the folks I work with at YUDU Digital Publishing how they might be a collaborative active part of what we’re doing on our blogs. They “get” it. That’s very cool.

And as a result, today I’m announcing how the contest that just ended has spurred another one.

YUDU It! to Win a YUDU PLUS ProAccount or a MacBook Air!

If you join in an make a simple slide show of 5-10 slides, your show will be judged by a team from YUDU.com and the top entry will receive a YUDU PLUS account. That’s a big deal, believe me. A YUDU Plus Account unlocks some even cooler features, that are coming to market just this week. YUDU PLUS includes these treats and more. You can

The YUDU contest for the MacBook Air requires signing up friends. BUT as part of this YUDU It! contest if you tag your entry Blogger 908, you’ll be automatically entered to for a chance to win without having to pull out that address book.

Here’s what you need to know . . .

Yudu Nav bar





I did it. I made two slideshows just this week. It’s your turn — will YUDU it now for a chance at:
YUDU PLUS account valued at US$180
and
A MacBook Air? Or maybe just to see how well you do with YUDU.

You know what I mean.

BTW, YUDU is looking for beta testers for this new launch. If you’re interested, please email me.
