My 300th Post – Yawn!

This is my 300th post and it should be profound…It’s not!
I knew the 300th post was coming up, but it caught me at a time where I’m feeling a little singed around the edges.
Although my November earnings were higher than my October earnings, my residual income was down by a little over $200; nothing to [...]

My 250th Post

Wow. It seems like I started this blog yesterday. My first official post was on March 8, 2008. Well, it really wasn’t. You may or may not know that this blog started out as a static website. I later transformed it into a WordPress blog.
The upside to the transformation process is [...]

My 200th Post

This is my 200th blog post and it saddens me that the topic couldn’t be something more inspiring or thought provoking.  Instead it has to be about spam and CAPTCHA.
Some time ago I wrote a post  about CAPTCHA boxes and how annoying I found them to be.  Unfortunately, because No Job for Mom has been [...]

Time to Remove the Clutter

I was about to backup my computer for my semi-annual reformat and software reinstall which helps to keep my computer running smoothly when and I stopped and took a picture of my desktop. One picture is worth a thousand words.
The Word.doc icons are all articles that I’m in the process of writing. Some of them [...]

What is Going on Over at eHow?

I’m in the process of conducting another eHow experiment so I set up a separate eHow account. No biggie, after all I set up my original account about a year and a half ago, so I’m no stranger to the process.
Imagine my surprise when shortly after setting up the account (within hours), I [...]

Another Writing Opporunity: Break Studios

With so many freelance writing blogs available on the internet, it doesn’t make sense to reinvent the wheel every time I come across a new writing site. If someone else has done a thorough review of the opportunity (probably more thorough than I would have done), then I might as well link to the [...]

I Want to Earn Minimum Wage!

Effective July 24, 2009, according to the US Department of Labor, the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and I want to graduate to that hourly wage.
No, I haven’t lost my mind. $7.25 an hour is a very attractive hourly rate for a freelance writer earning residual income. Think about it for a [...]

DoFollow vs NoFollow Backlinks

Crystal brought up a good question the other day and I didn’t have the answer. So I thought I’d do a little research, write about what I found and post it here. We both (Crystal and I) would love to hear your thoughts on DoFollow and NoFollow backlinks.
Before I go into DoFollow and [...]

Digging Out of the Snow

I’m back…finally.
I’ve had enough of this indoor camping stuff and I’m glad to be back online.
Actually, it really wasn’t that bad. We have a couple of generators so we had lights and I was able to run the portable heaters (I bought the heaters a little while ago when I thought I had let [...]

Snowed Under

Just a quick post to say that I’ve been in the dark ages for the past couple of days and I’m not sure when my power/internet access will return.  I managed to find a spot on the floor in the corner of my local Barnes and Noble to gain access to the internet. Everyone is [...]

Computer Stuff (Backups, Reformatting and Upgrades)

After spewing forth words that I care not to repeat here on this family friendly blog, I bit the bullet, reformatted my computer and upgraded to Windows 7.
Why the Delay?
What stopped me from upgrading earlier was that I dreaded the backup/reformat/re-installation/reconfiguration process. I realize it’s not absolutely necessary to reformat the computer to upgrade [...]

EGADS, They’re Home Again…

Let me start this post by saying that I love my children! They are the driving force for just about everything I do. After all, this blog would be called “No Job for This Woman” rather than “No Job for Mom” if I weren’t a mom.
Home from School

That being said…they’re home from school [...]

Taking a Page from Tiger Woods’ Book

Tiger’s apology made me take a look at my freelance writing career.
Let me see if I can explain where I’m coming from.
Tiger reached the pinnacle of the golfing profession. I’m no golfer and learned more than I cared to learn as a result of being surrounded by men who love to golf and watch [...]
