I'm in such a whirlwind right now. There are SO many communities online for people who blog. I had no idea. If only I'd known, I would have gotten involved with them years ago! I'm finding all of these great places but quickly finding that if I want to give all of this a proper shot, I would have to stop working elsewhere because I simply cannot keep up with all of these communities, forums and what-have-yous otherwise. And let's face it... I can't afford to quit actually working. haha
There are just so many fantastic discussions to get involved with. Best part is that they are such intellectual conversations about topics that matter - even the ones that are geared towards parenting. [I've had a lot of experience with parenting groups in the past and come to find that they are hardly geared towards parenting.]
Here's where you can find me so far!

Subscriptions & Feeds
I'm so stupid. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
I have like.. a gajillion e-mail accounts which lead me to have several Google accounts which lead me to the predicament I hopefully just handled and fixed. Ya see, I somehow ended up with an AdSense account associated with another GMail account so whenever I wanted to monetize something, I had to log out of the account I use to blog with, and into the other. I know.. it's confusing! Same went for the RSS Feed for this blog because in order to monetize it, I needed it connected to my AdSense account. To make it easy on everyone, I'll just stop there.
Because of the above issue, I had people subscribing to my blog using two different feed URLs. How? I have no idea.. but it apparently happened and I'm very sorry about it. Because somehow, six people subscribed to the "old" feed whereas only two subscribed to the "new", I have chosen to use the "old" URL instead. I have no idea if it makes any real difference, but I am trying to just put all of my e-duckies in a virtual row.
I completed deleted the Google account in which half of my stuff was associated and am attempting to focus everything in one place. It's difficult and I have no idea if it was a smart move or not - I guess time will tell. But for now, if you did subscribe to my RSS feed, you may need to do it again. Like I said - I really don't know if it makes any difference. I di apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused for anyone with my mess!

I Found Something Awesome!
All I can say about this is WOW! I was blog hopping earlier and came across a little banner that caught my eye. 20-Something Bloggers... hmm this should be interesting! I clicked it and I immediately joined. Unfortunately (well, I guess fortunately too) they screen all applicants to the site to check up on your age. You absolutely have to be 20-something to join. It took about 24 hours for me to be approved. Wait was well worth it.So I finally have full access to this site and I realize it's like MySpace - strictly for bloggers aged 20-29. The whole site is about blogging! It has groups, the ability to message, add friends, leave comments and of course... blog! I won't be blogging there because that would sort of the defeat the purpose of blogging here. But.. they do have an RSS feed and you can link in your blog that way!
Like MySpace, you get your own Profile Page where you can write about yourself, display certain information and even add a picture of yourself.
Can you tell I'm excited? Wait. It get's even better!
So I keep looking at this portion of 20-Something Bloggers and I see this "Lisa created this social network on Ning." So I'm thinking - what the heck is Ning? I go to this site and oh holy mother of Jesus... it's a site where you can create your OWN social network site! Oh man I'm all bubbly. So I start looking around and there are all of these social networks full of people. This has literally opened a new door for me online!
Anyways - definitely check out 20-Something Bloggers if you have the chance (and are 20-something of course). It looks promising and like fun!
