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 . . .
- certain click or treaters . . . ahem . . . replaced their empty heads with jack-o-lanterns. A number of computer laptops melted on an equal a human lap tops. The folks whose laps they were haven’t been the same since. None of them will be having children.
- one click or treater stood too close to his USB port. When a blogger sent out a 98 page FREE BUILD A BUSINESS ONLINE KIT, he was seriously injured by falling brick and mortar.
- a dark costumed click or treater wandered into the DarkGravity WordPress theme and hasn’t been seen since.
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?

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
- Do ecommerce. Put your documents, music and special photos up for Sale and name your Price.
- Have automatic document protection that helps Prevent Copying and sharing with people who haven’t paid.
- Make professional documents with mutlimedia embeds using YUDU Plus editing suite. Upload a New Cover; rearrange, Add or Delete pages, select different Language toolbars, change Backgrounds, add Page Links and link Photos and text to external websites.
- Embed your library in your Website or blog, and when get collect 10% of the signup fee.
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 . . .
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.
