A really good resource is The Blog World. Amanda has lots of tutorials, tricks, etc. for bloggers that are really helpful. I have it bookmarked and check it regularly to see what things she posted. It definitely warrants a visit.
I’m working on mine and Don’s budget. I’m trying to keep track of all our purchases in 2006. What goes to the car, what goes to food, etc. It’s slow-going. I’ve finally found a program I like that’s free. It’s got a reports feature that will give me graphs and that’s really what I’ve been looking for. Now I’ve just got to type everything in.
I’m also loving the Firefox extension Stumble Upon. It’s great. I’ve found a lot of good websites through it.

Don and I have to write a short story for English. So what is ours about? The X-Men. Or really, the O-Men. We’re doing a spoof of the greatest comic ever written. So far we’ve got characters, a plot, setting, theme and conflict because that’s what our teacher made us do the first day. All characters are taken after the real X-Men and have similar, but either not very good or funny powers.
The O-Men attend Dr. O’s School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good in New Jersey. Mr Whiskers plots to close the school because he wants his own while the O-Men struggle against rival X-Men in an academic and athletic bowl.
Can you tell who is who?
Dr. O, Humidity, Biclops, Kitty, Mr Whiskers, Feast, Hammerhead, Capri Teal, Pierre Cousteau, Mysteria
Don loves this. He’s such a nerd with comics, Star Wars, etc. It’s so cute.
