Thanks Shannon Lilly ~ Come See My Site Review!
And a huge “Thank You” to Shannon Lilly who offered to do a site review for SuzanneFranco.com. He has some pretty nice stuff to say about me and it was quite humbling. Thanks Shannon! If you’ve never had a site review I really suggest you do so. If it’s a good reviewer (uh-hem Shannon is good) than it’s more than worth the cost. We look at our sites so often that we get “used” to them and letting someone else tell us their first impression, any difficulties they’ve had with a different browser, how your content measures up, etc. is very valuable feedback. If you absolutely can’t afford one why don’t you ask someone if they want to do a mutual or reciprocal site review?
Pandora.com
What do you listen to or watch while you’re blogging or working online? I work at home alongside my fiancé (that’s a LOT of togetherness BTW *lol*) and we usually have the T.V. on with the news or the history channel but I actually prefer music. My son, Austin, turned me on to the greatest thing ever … Pandora.com. You enter a song or an artist and it makes a “station” with music that is similar to your selection. Way cool … and I love it. Thanks Austin!
MSN and eBay ~ Get a 30% Discount!
If you like to shop online you’ll love this tip! MSN is trying to boost their search engine business and they’re offering a 30% rebate if you use their search engine to go to eBay and make a “Buy It Now” purchase (here’s the link to the MSN page explaining it) and (here’s the link to the eBay page explaining it). I think I’m getting a new laptop using this offer. The other day eBay added a 10% coupon that worked on top of this offer for a total of 40% off and I think they might do more of those as we get closer to Christmas. MSN is offering similar rebates for other sites but the eBay offer seems to be the best one.
Drawing Winners
If you won a prize in the drawing you should’ve received an email from me today. The email was sent to both you and the prize sponsor so that way you can follow up with them directly if you have a question about your prize. Of course let me know if you don’t hear from them or need any help with getting your prize. Thanks again to all sponsors and participants … You guys rock!
Need Some Graphics?
My online friend Nicole donated all of the graphics that I used to promote my Blogging Idol quest including that so cute “I Voted” button that many of you are sporting on your blogs. She is so talented and very reasonably priced so if you need buttons, banners or other web graphics check out her store or portfolio on MySpace or email her holymoleynicoley AT aol DOT com.
So … there are some tid bits from today … hope something was helpful. If you try out any of these suggestions … do share! We’d like to hear about it so don’t be shy. Besides I try to visit the sites of those who comment here so if you’d like me to drop by that’s a great way to get my attention. *SmiLes* Suzanne

I just left a thank you with Shannon.
I needed a graphic a while back and in the end did it myself, took me maybe 3 days of and on. I can see me using Nicole next time I need something, I like her stuff. So thanks for the info.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks again for the prize 250 x 250 buttton on Bloggingtips.com. I’m working on a button as we speak but I may need to use Nicole’s services. Thanks for the tip.
I usually just have the radio on to the local station. I know it sounds so old fashioned “a radio”
what the heck is that,
Have a great day

@ paul ~ I’m right there with you on trying to make my own buttons … it takes me forever to make a simple blue with white letters … can’t ever remember how to make the background blue LOL Now I just pass it over to Nicole. I hope she doesn’t get too busy now that I’ve “shared” her with all of you!
@ luca ~ that was a 125 x 125 ad right? Radio station is not old fashion but I live in the country and can’t really do that here
@ shannon ~ so welcome!
@ lucyP ~ the msn/ebay thing totally works too! my fiance has used it several times already. i think you get like 12 of these “rebates” and the rebates come in at different times so watch for that but it’s a great discount and does work

Nicole wins “most memorable email address ever”.
I’ll check out her sites too. Come the new year, I’m looking for banners of different sizes for 3 blogs.

The amount of the MSN Live.com cashback keeps changing. 30% was the high but it has been dropping. Right now, it’s at 15%. Just wanted to let people know that so they wouldn’t wonder why they’re not seeing 30%. Hopefully, it will go back up again.

Hey Suzanne. There are some things I would like to say to you.
1. I think your blog is truly awesome, fantastic and all of those fancy words. I’ve subscribed to your RSS-feed, and everytime you update your blog – I read the latest post… no matter where I am. It could be on my mobile or on my computer. It doesn’t matter. Your blog simply owns. I will therefore link to it from one of my tech blogs if that’s okay with you.
2. Why does everybody keep spamming your blog? Gah, all the comments are invaluable, and will be counted as spam-comments by Google. How about enabling Akismet or turning on comment moderation? It gets a bit annoying when you’re trying to look for valuable information.
Anyway, don’t let me waste your time… keep up the good work!
