Blogging for Books

Blogging for Books I clicked a Facebook ad a while back for a program called Blogging for Books for the Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group. 

I thought some of you might be interested in it, too.  All you have to do is sign up and submit your blog.  When you sign up, you select the categories you're interested in such as Fiction, Christian Living/Devotionals, Family/Parenting, Relationships, and/or Social Issues.  You can choose any or all of them.

Then, if you're accepted into the program, you'll get periodic emails - about 3 or 4 a month - inviting you to participate in upcoming blog Book Tours, based on your interests.  Each invitation contains a summary of the book  involved, as well as the dates for the tour - the week the reviews should be posted.  You're never obligated to participate, but if you're interested, send a quick RSVP and then about 3-4 weeks before the scheduled blog tour, you'll receive a free review copy.  Then all you have to do is read the book and post about it during the specified tour week, and send the link to the person who sent you the invitation.

So far all the books have been really good.  The hardest part is not saying YES to all of them, but I know I don't have time to read them all.  I wish I could read faster.  So far I've finished 3 books/reviews, and I've got 2 more books I need to get finished up in the next few weeks.

Free Bible Software

Recently we ordered some new Bible software.  It was a pretty good deal - only $10, and it has some really nice features.  One that we're really enjoying is the pronunciation of the Hebrew and Greek.  I only know this because Imageflowerppot  has it installed on her computer.  I hadn't gotten around to installing it until tonight.  In the software box was a link to a list of free books we can get to add onto the software.  There are a whole lot of them - different translations, commentaries, etc.  While I was browsing the books, I noticed a link to get the Bible software itself for free - an even better deal!

If you'd be interested in free Bible software, check it out.

Attention, Writers

I saw this offered on Giveaway of the Day once before but didn't download it. I'm not a writer, but when they offered it again today, I grabbed it - and installed it on my laptop and a jumpdrive. Maybe it will make me a writer? Yeah, right - anyway, you have about 10 hours left to download Liquid Story Binder XE from Giveaway of the Day. It looks really helpful for organizing your writing and stuff.

Stuff, that's a word all writers use, right?  I'm set.

Free Games, Lots of Free Games

If you have time to spare, or if you just want to have some fun, check out HURAGames.com Flash Games - Free Online Flash Games, Play High Quality Internet Flash Games Now. There are so many games that you can play for free. They have different categories like Action, Puzzle, Classic, Sports, and more, so it's easy to find a game you will like.

I've never played that many video games, but I've always liked Tetris, and they have that one. I started playing it, at Level 1, and messed up almost immediately. You know what that means - I'll have to try again. Another fun thing about this site is that they give you the code to put any game you like on your own site or blog. I'm trying it out with that Tetris game I mentioned:

Free Long Distance

Thanks to Google, you can call me for free! Just click - enter your name and phone number, and you will get a phone call. When you pick up, it will connect your phone to mine. All this for free - how cool is that?



I'm excited about this because I've got unlimited long distance, but I'm horrible, horrible, horrible about picking up the phone and calling anyone. I like talking when someone calls me, and now they can because it won't cost them to do it.

If you've got friends or family you'd like to be able to call you without long distance charges, let me know, and I'll send you an invite to Grand Central Communication by Google. It's new, so there might be a few kinks, but your number stays private, and there are all kinds of extra features - like call screening, voicemail, and call forwarding.

Candidates and Campaigns

ImageIt seems all we've been hearing about recently is the Presidential Election. We hear about campaigns and primaries, votes and debates, and candidates dropping out. It can get confusing, to say the least. QlipMedia has just launched ElectionQlips to give the public a chance to discuss all of this. What's cool about QlipMedia is that there's more to it than just words typed on a page. People can record their voice, share images from the web and their own computers, and add drawings to get their point across. It will be interesting to hear and see what real people from across the country think of all the campaign trail happenings. If you have something to say, just click the "Talk About It!" button on a video, and share your thoughts with audio, video, and drawings.

Press Release:

QlipMedia (http://www.qlipmedia.com) has just launched the public beta version of ElectionQlips (http://www.electionqlips.com), a new destination to discuss all that is Election 2008. Readers can share their comments with the community and leave comments on Presidential Election themed video posts using their recorded voice, free-hand drawing, and images to let everyone know what they think and how they feel about every point in the posted debates, ads, punditry and stump speeches.

As the nation’s attention increasingly focuses on the outcomes of the ongoing primary elections and the general election to follow this November, viewers of ElectionQlips can stayed tuned to all the exciting action, including voice and video comments of their fellow citizens. And anyone can bring their wit and wisdom to bear on the debate of the moment, commenting to their heart’s content with their own voice and images.

The blogosphere has always been about giving a voice to common ‘netizens’, while democratizing the dissemination of the news and opinion. But heretofore that voice has been confined to the two dimensional world of the written word. The broad appeal of video has added a third dimension, a layer of contextual relevancy just not possible with the written word alone. Blog commenting has been similarly constrained by the same technical barriers. ElectionQlips brings multimedia blogging full circle, giving blog commenters the ability to post live, multimedia comments right on the videos they’re viewing in their own voice, using their own doodles and images.

• 100+ million blogs in existence
• 1.5 million blog posts per day
• 1 blog with multimedia commenting capability

ElectionQlips users can take their election debate with them by sharing the link and embedding the player anywhere. On the video timeline, it’s easy to bring out all the facts with every detail of the debate through point-by-point analysis. The density of comments at every point let’s one see what’s hot and what’s not in every debate.

The goal of ElectionQlips is to make it possible for everyone to participate in any debate, discussion and controversy using their own voice. Commenting on blog posts is a common enough, ElectionQlips gives an edge over other contemporary election blogs, especially with respect to sharing your comments and opinions.

About QlipMedia:
QlipMedia makes QlipBoard, a tool that combines videos and images with drawing, highlighting and adds your voice is the easiest way to talk about anything and turn any video into an instant discussion room. ElectionQlips is produced by QlipMedia, Inc. and designed by OuterJoin. For more information, visit www.qlipmedia.com

Free Stuff

If you know anything about me at all, you know I like free stuff.  Cheap is good.  Free is better.  Today I found a blog that lists all kinds of free stuff.  It was started by a guy  named Dave, who started his 'free sampling hobby' in January.  He spends hours scouring the Internet for legitimate offers of free samples - offers with no commitments and no strings attached.  And then he shares them!

So, if you're like me and interested in free stuff, check out Free Sample Forager.

Here's an offer you might be interested in, and it is only available for 48 hours starting at 12:01am tomorrow -  Free Christmas Music:
Starting December 15th (Saturday) and running for 48 hours only, you can download a free copy of Seriously West Coast Volume 2: Happy Holidays from the canada.com website (the Vancouver Sun). This is a collection of modern pop/soft rock/Christian Rock songs by artists such as Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan, and Jars of Clay. To repeat: this freebie is only available for 48 hours, so download it within that window starting December 15th.
I downloaded a song by Brad Paisley and a Bruce Hornsby album from other offers listed on the site.  It's not just about music and downloads, though.  It's real offers for real products you can get mailed to your house - like magazines, posters, cat food, calendars, books, and more.
