I added the latest I’m writing at online it can be found in my sidebar. A little over a week ago I started writing for BLORGE.com. You’ll usually find me in the Mac section. Blorge is a technology news website. You can check out all my articles under my name Opal Tribble or you can check out my bio on their bio page.

Technology is something I love, especially Mac technology. I came from a strong background in Windows. Technical writing was part of my job details in the corporate setting and I’m hoping eventually, to be able to implement some of that on BLORGE.

Feel free to drop by and check out what I have to say about the subject. Last week I contacted a software developer, and he has agreed to do an interview with me. That should be coming out within a few weeks.

I make a point to thank people and businesses for what they do. Naturally that extends to software developers. If I like a product I’ll follow up with them directly and tell them how much I appreciate creating an excellent product. Over the years, I’ve found that most software developers are very approachable and are more than willing to talk about their product. Occasionally some of them have contacted me when they’ve come out with new products and have given me free copies or beta version of their updated software.

Last week I contacted a software company, and they will be sending me a program that I requested to review. Naturally it’s a NFR (not for retail) copy. I’ve done quite a few personal reviews about software on my website. Quite a few of them have been linked to the software developer, or they’ve included my review (with my permission) on their website. I thought that was very cool. Was it why I wrote about their fabulous products? Definitely not, but it’s nice that people appreciate your reviews.

Writing for a highly trafficked website is a great opportunity to put my name out there while I write about a subject I truly love. It also has given me insight on to where I want my websites to be as they continue to grow. It’s an excellent opportunity. It’s been a little over a week, and I’m doing fairly well. A few of my stories have hit the #1 position, for the keywords used, in Google news. That drove a lot of traffic my way. A few of my posts have been stumbled and one of my post was Dugg 16 times. Yes, titles are extremely important. Not a bad way to begin, eh? Yes, titles are truly important. I’m enjoying the experience and continuing to enhance my skills.

My next post, here on Vegan Momma, is fairly long and it’s titled, “Thoughts on freelance writing or how I get paid to sit around the house and do nothing.” I’ll most likely post that this weekend.

I guess you could say that animals have a prominent spot in my world. We have two dogs and four ferrets in our household. Even as a child I cannot remember to many times when we had animals sharing up residence indoors and outdoors. When I was a child we had what most think of as “farm animals.” I don’t think I thought of them that way. I played with them like any other animals so for me they were my friends. Some of them happened to live outside of our homes and in their own tiny homes. It definitely didn’t stop me from visiting them. I would greet my feathered and furry friends every morning before I went to school and upon my return. They all received lots of attention.

I cannot physically visit Chloe at VitaminStuff but I do make a point to see what is going on in her world. Many thanks to Tim, the site owner for sharing some of her adorable fuzzbutt antics with the rest of the virtual community.

I believe I virtually met the owner, Tim, early last year. He was at another website and I was a frequent visitor. To say I was disappointed when he took a blog break would be an understatement. Many of his posts made me think and at times view things from a different perspective. Not everyone challenges me to do that. Check out his post on Ferrets and Sleeping can you find Chloe? Do ferrets listen well? Check out this post to find out. Chloe resembles my ferret Kali. Kali is a chocolate Sable ferret and her personality seems to match Chole’s. If you are interested in vitamins and, the stuff that goes along with it dig into Tim’s virtual library he has a lot of information about vitamins and alternative medicine. If you closely look, you might find a few articles written by myself. Yes, this is one of the places where I write.

In other news…
My exercise workouts are still going well and hopefully I’ll be able to post some of my workouts over the next week. Friday is my late day at the gym. In the morning I take my daughter, Aiyana, to a children’s reading group. She has a blast after that time, I head on to the gym.
