I’ve given myself all sorts of excuses for not blogging more often. My favourite excuse is that I don’t have a mobile device good enough for me to use and blog in a mobile manner. I had a netbook three years ago, which made blogging a little bit easier on …
Now that I own a smartphone with broadband capabilities, blogging from anywhere and at anytime should be a cinch. Shouldn’t it? And yet, this is the second time that I’ve missed my blogging deadline for the PostAWeek challenge. So here I am, sitting and having my favorite lunch of toast …
As I’m typing this post, I am sitting drinking milk tea and munching on crunchy toasted bread in my favourite cheap cafe. I have learned early on that it is a hopeless endeavour to try and blog at home. My kids would jump onto (and on) my lap, expecting me …
I know that the original challenge is intended for WordPress.com users, but, hey, it doesn’t hurt to join in the fun. I’ve done a 30-day blog challenge before, so I know how difficult it can be for some of us to keep up. It’s not so much because we’re out …

Starting today, I’m going on a personal blogging challenge — to post once a day for the next 30 days, and it’s not unlike the challenge I took last year. My reasons for doing this again are: To revive traffic to WebGrrrl.net. Lord knows how much neglect this blog has …
Before I go further, I’d just like to show off to you a pathetic snapshot of my first ever AdSense cheque which I’ve received earlier this month (and a wonderful New Year’s surprise it was!). I was in a rush preparing for my son’s first day of school for the …
