Perhaps you've addressed this elsewhere. Here's the thing: if people write most, or all, of their posts ahead of April, or even ahead of each day, is it really a challenge to blog every day? That is, <br />scheduling a post written in March and sitting down to the computer each day in April are two different things. It doesn't seem like quite the challenge to sit down and write, for example, one's posts for A, D. G, P, and Z ahead of time. Maybe I'm just too much of a stickler for everyone playing by the same rules. Maybe the rules are made to be broken, and not really about writing 26 things in April, but FOR April ,regardless how it gets done.Zoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119513647613843627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-14937304238141693332012-03-26T07:27:52.652+00:002012-03-26T07:27:52.652+00:00Hey there Agent Pedergast!

I really appreciate all of the input ad details.<br />Just that part about happiness made this probably the best blog you’ve ever written.<br /><br />After many of months trying to get into Posts Genius I have finally got into it. They are one of the biggest pay you 2 blog networks that I know of. They will give you money to do blog reviews. On their website they have a full blog ethics page that the blogger has to follow.<br /><a href="http://www.postsgenius.com" rel="nofollow">Posts Genius</a> is an advertising system that connects bloggers and advertisers in an online marketplace, where advertisers can hire bloggers to write and publish targeted blog posts and reviews of websites, services, or products.<br />Here’s the link: http://www.postsgenius.com/blogger/<br /> <br />I think this is a good idea to have because it is a standard that you have to follow. It is easy to understand and it is in black and white.<br /><br />You earn a 15% commission of all amounts an advertiser spends at Posts Genius, and you can request your commission immediately - NO WAITING!Herahttp://www.postsgenuin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-19243923416497976992012-03-24T03:35:14.699+00:002012-03-24T03:35:14.699+00:00I don't like spiders but I can't bring mys...I don't like spiders but I can't bring myself to kill them.

I was thinking about that OTHER organization. I'm not a fan of spiders and I will squish them if I need to but generally, I prefer to just ignore them or let them roam and do their thing because I heard that they eat or catch other insects, and I HATE most insects, so if that is accurate, then I say, leave the spiders alone! They are A-ok in my book! :)<br /><br /><br />~Nicole<br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-45159400953498045022012-03-23T23:48:35.720+00:002012-03-23T23:48:35.720+00:00T-shirts are a classic.

He was of the little black jumping variety that hatch out in our backyard and then jump into our house and hide in the crevices. There are thousands of them so that when we walk out there in the spring, you can see the grass move as they run toward or away from you. They run toward us as often as away . . . which leads to squishing.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-40003704769935718292012-03-23T21:32:00.439+00:002012-03-23T21:32:00.439+00:00Laura, poor Charlotte!
