Aion: Learn About and Play This Game

Holly — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:33:56 +0000

I’m not big on online games. I seem to prefer playing by myself computer games but I have to say I have recently been looking more and more at multi-player online games. One that I’ve just recently heard about is aion. I like it because it’s a little different then other games that I have seen and my friends are not so far ahead of me that it’s just pointless to try to start playing. In fact I don’t think any of them play it yet as it just came out in September.

Since I’m not one to play these types of games I have been checking out an aion forum so that I can get a feel for the game before I buy it. I’m learning a little about the aion classes like mages and preist. I think this is what I love most about this game concept. I love fantasy and think it may be a lot of fun to play. So far the forum doesn’t have a lot of activity, but what I have read has been very helpful. Now I need the money to buy the game so I can actually experience the game. Maybe I can talk my little brother into buying it. He loves these games!

Social Networking Tips From A Newbie

Holly — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:36:34 +0000

You always hear about the great things that come a long with social networking. Well I’m not totally new at it, but I’m not an expert either. Here are some of the things I have learned over the last few months about social networking. Why am I sharing this with you? Well I have decided that I need to make some changes to my life and this blog. One of them being the lack of traffic this blog now receives. I will be posting more things like this as I make my way though the world of social networking.

1 Just because you post it and add it to Digg, Twitter and Yahoo buzz does not mean that people will read it. Go onto forums and as people to review your article or at least check it out. Forums are still a great way to network.

2. Talk to people. When I first started social networking I talked to a lot of people, then school got in my way and I stopped. Guess what I lost my traffic. So please speak up!

3. Bother everyone you can for a link, I did not do this as I am not that type of person, but I have noticed that many people who bothered me for a link now have great traffic and earn good money.

4. Get your family to read your post. Now I can’t do this as my family just won’t. I have tried for 2 years and no luck. I do have one or two friends that do, but that’s it. Getting your friends and family to check out, link to and help promote your post can really go far.

5. Ask questions. I am not a “question asker” as I don’t like to look stupid, but I’m learning I need to ask, even though I have been blogging for almost 4 years I still have a lot to learn.

6. Learn that failing is not always the worst thing in the world. It’s okay to fail because then you learn something. I fail a lot so I probably know a ton more then some people!

Those are my tips for anyone in social networking. I understand that many of you reading this are going duh, but who knows maybe one person will benefit from this post. If you want link to it and share the fun with your friends.

What Are They Thinking?

Holly — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:43:35 +0000

I got onto Myspace today to see of some friends had written me back about a party I’m having in a couple of weeks. They didn’t, but as I was looking over the site I saw this ad that just made me very angry. Myspace is a site mostly for teens and young adults. Even if it wasn’t meant for that, that is what it is. The ad I saw was for some weight loss thing and usually there not horribly when the show the after, but this one was. This one showed a girl that looked anorexic and my first thought was “yes, lets show a bunch of young girls that they need to be anorexic.

Now I don’t know how Myspace does their banner advertising, but I really think they need to rethink showing that one. Girls need to realize that size is not as big of an issue as they think and being healthy no thin is the important thing, but with ad’s like this on the internet that will never happen.

Community is Everything

Holly — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:12:13 +0000

When I first joined Pay Per Post or Izea I was unsure of what I had to do. After a visit to the boards I understood the paid posting process better and I could see that I would make a few friends there. I don’t talk much on the boards, but I am always in there reading and seeing what the latest news and information is.

Recently Izea redesigned their boards and I love it. I have a forum myself that I recently upgraded and having them move to the new boards has been a great experience. I love the way it looks along with how easy it is to get around. Yes it took time time and a few things were annoying at first but once I figured out where things were I loved the ease of use. I visit the boards at least 3 times a day if I don’t have class, sometimes more. The community there is amazing and most everyone is helpful. A feature of the new boards that I like is the birthday plug in. It’s fun being able to wish members a happy birthday I think it increases the community feel. That is what is important on any forum, you need people who are helpful, fun and interesting, the Izea boards have that and they now have style.
