Trivia

What is trivia? The dictionary definition is: Insignificant or inessential matters; trifles. Trivia is the Roman goddess of sorcery, hounds and... the crossroads. Others think of trivia as interesting facts or useless information -- and sometimes both at the same time. In fact, trivia is the plural of trivium which means crossroads. I think trivia is fun, often intriguing, and always entertaining. Let me share my trivia with you!

Learning The Alphabet Letters

One of the first steps in becoming a successful reader is learning the alphabet letters. The alphabetic principle teaches that spoken language is represented by written words that are made up of varying combinations of letters, and that these letters and combinations of them make up all of the sounds in spoken language. Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.

I'm disappointed with the payout this month. I expected better. Mainly I thought the tiers would go up more than 40-cents for Tier 1 and 10-cents for Tier 2. Plus I'm only showing 3 tiers and we used to have 4 or 5 I thought.

I guess I will have to rethink my strategy...

The End Of May

Well today is the last day of May and I can take a look at my progress -- which is neither as good as I had hoped it would be nor as bad as I feared it would be.

May was a terribly busy month for me including attending a two-week seminar out-of-state for graduate school so I simply didn't have the time to spend on Squidoo that I normally have so some of the time I feared it would be a very bad month indeed. In that respect May turned out better.

However I did refrain from starting as many lenses as I did last month and focused more on raising the level of my existing lenses. I did succeed in that but not as much as I had hoped. Perhaps that is simply a factor of not having much time or perhaps I'm going about things the wrong way. I guess we won't know until next month.

Total # of Lenses: 183 (+7)
Total # of Groups: 13 (+6)

Traffic is up:

May Daily Digest says: You have 183 lenses, visited 1,569 times in the last 7 days.
April Daily Digest (or my guess) says: Total Visitors = 1014, Average Visitors = 6

# of Lenses in the Top 2,000 = 9 (-1)
# of Lenses in the Top 10,000 = 29 (+10)
# of Lenses in the Top 20,000 = 24 (+1)
# of Lenses in the Top 50,000 = 100 (+27)
# of Lenses in the Top 100,000 = 41 (-11)
Total Number of Lenses & Groups = 196

I would have liked to see more growth in the top tier but only losing 1 isn't too bad. I'd also like to see more growth in that third tier. I'm fairly pleased with my progress in that bottom tier although it could be better.

When, What & How To Teach Your Preschooler

Be your child's first teacher!

There are really only three things you should remember:

~ Keep it fun Making learning into a game and your child will always enjoys what you have to teach her.

~ Keep it light Educational products and activities that are actually games are wonderful but don't force your child into spending time each day with flashcards or the like. They'll most likely learn faster and more meaningfully if you have an alphabet scavenger hunt at the supermarket.

~ Embrace the teachable moment but don't schedule lessons and force educational activities on your child. When the opportunity presents itself (and it will countless times in a day!) take advantage and use it for a lesson. For example, simply putting on socks can be a lesson in right and left, colors, or counting!

Discourse Community

As an experienced conversationalist who has been wielding verbal words since toddlerhood, you easily move from one group of people to another adjusting your tone, your vocabulary, and your syntax accordingly. Often without thinking about it, you speak differently to your parents than you do to your teachers and differently from both groups when alone with your friends. You would not dream of using the same speech patterns in the locker room and the church sanctuary.

Most writers understand the concept of audience and why it is important to understand who their audience is when composing. Yet simply understanding the "who" of your audience is only the beginning for experienced writers. Effective writing, writing that works and delivers the intended message and effect, must fit within the discourse community it is destined to serve.

Why FRONTLINE is important?

It is one of the few television news shows that actually incorporates reflective, in-depth review of important topics from political issues to health issues to financial issues.

FRONTLINE's reports not only report but also explore a topic fully and from every angle so viewers can fully understand the issue and its implications for our lives and future.

FRONTLINE helps its audience become more aware and educated about the important issues of the day so the public can be full participants in our democracy. FRONTLINE should be required viewing for every voter and taxpayer.

I'm A Giant Squid!

I just received the news that I am one of the 40 new Giant Squids.

According to Megan, the Editor in Chief at Squidoo, the Giant Squids is a core group of movers and shakers on Squidoo. "It's a badge of honor for lensmasters who display rare talent for quality AND quantity in their lensmaking."

I am thrilled and honored and awed...and ready to get down to work.

I've updated my RWO Squidoo Stats lens to reflect my new status as well as my finishing April numbers.

While thrilled at my Giant Squid status I must admit I am disappointed with my finish for April and as May promises to be an extremely hectic month for me I don't imagine I'll be able to improve all that much.

Lessons learned from this month:

* I need to balance my lens creation with lens maintenance and promotion
* I need to slow down my lens creation
* I need to consider whether or not I want to abandon some of those low-ranking lenses or if I might be able to find the time to bring them up right (is it worth the time?)
* I need to balance my promotional efforts and spread them out over more lenses
* Creating groups is worth the effort -- witness the birth of the Cream of Squidoo group which has already gone as high as 17911 in its first month!
* I need to see a lens through when I create it and give it a solid chance at rising on its merit with at least a minimal effort at promotion

6 Reasons (or more) Why I Squidoo And You Should Too!

Do you Squidoo? Perhaps you are not familiar with that little orange creature with one big blue eye, but Squidoo is a social networking site utilizing a different system and framework than many free social networking sites. Squidoo allows each account to create as many unique web pages as they like and then individualize each page to reflect the unique topic and individual personality of the creator. The pages are visable to anyone browsing the web and the creator determines how much interaction will be allowed by viewers and other Squidoo registered users. For example, some pages allow anyone to leave a comment or vote in a poll while others allow only other Squidoo users to do so. So far that doesn't sound all that drastically different from the proliferation of free web hosts, free blog hosts, and other social networking options so why do I Squidoo?

Traffic. I started out with Squidoo simply to promote my various internet ventures -- web sites, blogs and ezines. Due to the way Squidoo is organized it makes a great system to capture and redirect traffic. Traffic arrives both from search engines and internally generated traffic. I have found this to be a great traffic generation tool. I have some profitable web sites that I do nothing else to promote except through Squidoo.

Money. While I started out simply to drive traffic to my other money-making enterprises I soon realized there is a number of ways to benefit financially from Squidoo. I can earn income directly from Squidoo based on the internal rank of my Squidoo page as well as from a variety of internal and external affiliate programs. Squidoo has several different affiliate programs programmed in and you are welcome to add as many other income sources to your lens as you want. I earn income every month from Squidoo and I have not even begun to fully capitalize on all my options.

Addiction. I fully admit that I am a Squidoo addict. I check in several times a day on the various lenses (the Squidoo term for a web page) and groups I maintain, I eye my dashboard stats, I haunt the Squidoo forum, and I'm constantly creating new lenses. I don't think there is a 12-step program for Squidoo addiction yet but there might need to be. I am constantly tweaking, fixing, adding, and altering my existing lenses as well as creating new lenses. Do I have a problem?

Friends. Squidoo is a friendly place. While there are certainly people here ready and eager to make a buck they don't seem to dominate this network as much as some of the others. Perhaps it is because Squidoo makes it so easy to donate all or a portion of your proceeds to a charity of your choice -- and so many Squidoo lens creators are dedicated to supporting a huge range of charities -- that makes Squidoo people a nicer group as a whole. Yes, there are people like myself using Squidoo to support or promote a business, but it is not all about money. It is about people and ideas and community. That is what keeps me coming back day after day. I find myself not just checking up on my projects but the projects of various people that interest me -- and Squidoo makes it super easy to do just that!

Fun. This could be why Squidoo is so addictive. It is a lot of fun. Last night I created a fan lens for an actor my son likes. We learned things, laughed at some jokes, and sang along with some songs. It didn't take that long to create and we had fun doing it. How cool is that? I often lose all track of time while creating a lens because it is so much fun. It is very creative and can make a great hobby as well as a business.

Easy and free. Perhaps these are really two separate reasons but I lump them together because while many types of social networking sites are free not all are easy as well. This semester I introduced my college students to Squidoo to create their web presentations and a lot of them thought it was just great. I've been requiring web presentations for some time but so many free systems are not easy to learn on the fly -- Squidoo can have you up and running very quickly. Also Squidoo doesn't have the restrictions to the size of accounts or bandwidth use that so many free sites have. The more visitors the merrier according to Squidoo!

So that is the six (or seven) reasons why I Squidoo and I think you should too. You owe it to yourself to check out Squidoo today if you are interested in either a fun new hobby, a great new business, or a way to promote a special interest.
