Peoria ChronicleI’m working this evening, and my morning and early afternoon are taken up by Blog Peoria Project business. Member bloggers might want to read this important post.
Anyway, do check out Word on the Street. Apparently, there’s something Barbara Van Auken hasn’t been telling me.

Some announcements:
I’ve been playing around with my Facebook page, and I ended up sending invitations to about half the people in the mailing list. If you got one (or two or three, sorry about that), consider signing up. Facebook is a good way to network for business and social reasons.
And the mysterious Subway Conductor seems […]

Check this out: The spiffy new State Journal-Register Web site has an easy-to-access pagelisting all their house bloggers … followed by a list of “Sprngfieldish” bloggers.
Very cool.
My advice to the SJ-R: Constantly monitor this list of links. Bloggers come and go. In Peoria, this is especially true.
And I notice that Disarranging Mine is conspicuously absent […]

Click on these links. And click them often:
I’m up to my old tricks at It’s Billy’s Blog.
Jonathan Ahl links to Peoria Pundit, not once, not twice, but three times (here and here).
Pammy Darlin’ makes a comment on beauty.
Laura gives D150 bosses some advice they won’t follow in a million years.
PeoriaIllinoisan does the same thing, only […]

The chick who writes this blog told Nightline that:
She got fired for writing a post about how her boss got Botox treatments and showed up to work with a frozen face.
So, she blogs full time.
She now makes $40,000 a month from advertising revenue.
Sounds like a plan … oops, I don’t have a spouse to pay […]

Peoria Pundit and a buch of other Peoria blogs got a nice shout-out from this site.
Also, and this is no doubt old news to many, I’ve increased the font size to make this site more readable.

… is that it is far, far more flexible and feature packed than it was before. If you currently have a Blogger-dot-com blog, treat yourself to some extra features by logging into the draft Blogger home page and changing to one of the new templates, then putting some newfangled widgets on your site.
It’s what I’m using […]

Obviously, I’m blogging again.
I had planned to come back a few days from now, but I wanted to get the information about the looming parental revolt at Keller Primary out into the Blogosphere.
And, yes, the site was down briefly today, as I forgot to pay my bill online. I intended to do it before I […]

Tuesday was supposed to be such a wonderful day.
Then my site went dark. DotCanada/DotAmerica once again neglected to send me a bill to renew my domain (I knew that renewal was coming up). They redirected the domain to some advertising, then left for the day and was unreachable for instructions on how to renew electronically. […]

Unless there’s an outpouring of opposition, I’m going to call the R.F.P. over and declare that we have a winner.
The next Peoria-Area Blogger Bash will start at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, at the Silver Bullet, 135 N Main St. East Peoria, IL. A map is available here.
I’ll try to be there at least […]

… it would help this site out tremendously if one of my readers happened to have a license for a Mac version of Photoshop that isn’t being used at the moment. I don’t need anything with a lot of bells and whistles …

As is tradition in the Peoria Blogosphere, a Blogger Bash is held every time a month has a 5th Tuesday. That means we are due for a bash on April 29th. There has been some discussion over at Cory’s site, but no definitive conclusion.
So, I’m opening the floor here for request for proposals. I’m in […]

I’ve been remiss in my duties. I recently came cross two Peoria-area bloggers and neglected mentioning them.
The first is one Michael Davis, who operates Just a Thought. I don’t know exactly what city in which he resides, but he links to other Peoria bloggers and discusses Peoria matters, who he’s a resident of the area.
The […]
