Imagine my surprise to find two great reviews of Blogging Gal today! I just can’t tell you how excited I am.

Mark Sierra posted A Darn Good Look at Blogging Gal on his review site, Darn Good Reviews. In his review, Mark stated, “One of the things I like most about Tish — and I’m sure you will too — is that no matter what she writes about, it always seems effortless, which, for me, makes it just as effortless to read. She can write about anything of any length.”

Hema from Make Your Money Grow posted Parallel Source of Income, in which she introduced Blogging Gal to her readers. She discussed the fact that I am a Human Resources Manager at my day job, and that it was an intelligent decision on my part to maintain a parallel source of income through blogging.

Thank you so much, Mark and Hema! I am absolutely ecstatic to receive such nice publicity!

Blogging Gal’s PageRank has increased from PR0 to PR3!  The blog is less than three months old, so I’m pretty excited!

If you’ve got a burning question or are in need of advice about a blogging or Internet related topic, I’d love to help. Just drop me a line through my contact form. I’ll choose one reader submitted question each week, and I’ll answer it right here on my blog. I will award 50 Entrecard credits to the person who submits the chosen question.

All questions will be kept on file, so if your question isn’t selected during the week you submit it, it could be chosen at a later date. There is no limit to the number of questions you can submit. I look forward to seeing the questions roll in!

The very first review of Blogging Gal has been published! Tom of Push Standards wrote a great review of this blog, focusing mainly on areas for improvement. Being a web designer, he had some fabulous suggestions for increasing the visual appeal of the site. I am already working to implement some of them.

A great big thank you to Tom for the honest feedback! My talents lie predominantly in creating content, so I always welcome design suggestions.

If you’re interested in receiving an in depth critique of your blog, Tom’s review services are for hire - and well worth the money!

I was tagged by Jim of U-Turn Ahead to list seven weird facts about myself. In keeping with the theme of this blog, here are seven strange blogging facts about me.

  1. I once authored a blog called The Daily Dump. It consisted of nothing but bathroom humor. One regular feature was Defecation Station, in which I reviewed the restrooms of local establishments.
  2. I also authored a blog called Find Tish a Boyfriend. The blog was a bust, as was my search for a boyfriend. So yes, Blogging Gal is still on the market! If any of you nice, young geeks are interested, drop me a line through the contact form.
  3. I’m a big fan of Minor League Baseball, and I’ve often blogged about my favorite player on my personal blog. In 2006, I got an email from my favorite player’s father! While googling his son, he came across some photos I had taken and posted on my personal blog, The Kat House. He kindly thanked me for being a fan and offered to send me some autographed cards. Since that time, we have become friends and keep in touch regularly by email. And I have a nice collection of autographed baseball cards! My favorite player has since moved to the Major League!
  4. I’m the blogosphere’s leading authority on Cootie Brown, and I have an entire category devoted to him on The Kat House.
  5. I participated in Blogathon 2007, blogging for 24 straight hours on my blog review site, BlogsWeLuv.
  6. I used to participate in a community art project called Half Nekkid Thursday. Participants posted artsy “half nekkid” photos on their blogs each Thursday.
  7. My last serious relationship, which ended nearly a year ago, was with another blogger.

I’d like to tag the following bloggers: Andrew, Aaron Cook, Josey, Wm H, and Laura Williams.
