Wordpress Blackberry Application

Posted 08 Mar 2010 — by Jennifer
Category All Things Techy

I’ve been in the dark, so to speak! Blackberry has a Wordpress application for us Wordpress bloggers. Sad to say, but this makes most of my Blackberry needs complete. Can you tell I’m easily pleased.

This post is merely a test for this Wordpress application, I hope that this is a tool I can use as a back up plan for my blogging needs when I’m away from the computer. This will be great for one like me who likes to share with you my ventures on impulse. At times I lose excitement for things as time passes which makes for less post for me to write up. This great Blackberry application may allow for my impulsive blogging needs.

This Wordpress application for Blackberry can be found by clicking _ Wordpress Application. Time will only tell if this application will meet my needs and please look to the near future for a review on this Blackberry application.

Please share any great blogging or blackberry tools that have helped you with your needs in being more efficient by commenting below.

“Let me Loosen Up my Tie”

Posted 02 Nov 2009 — by Jennifer
Category Reed Tidbits, Self Awareness

Let me Loosen Up my TieI’ve been blogging since May 2009. Not long at all, changes will come along the way as I see fit or as our readers go through changes.

Changes We’ve Already Made

  1. Reed What Matters lowered the amount of self awareness post - I don’t write those daily anymore but I still write on how to empower self if that is what you are here for.
  2. Our savings moved to Saving Money with Reed. Those who come here just for freebies and coupons would rather not search through articles of family stuff, and those who come here for articles don’t want to sift through coupons and such. I get that!
  3. Reed What Matters annoys you here and there by changing our theme around. Sorry, I want to get the site right. We are new, this will happen from time to time until it is right for you and me.

Changes to Come

  1. I’ve become more comfortable each day, I’m going to “Loosen my tie” so to speak – I’ve never been nothing less then myself, but I’ve stopped writing a post because I was worried what would come of certain post. Would I lose all my readers? Would I gain more? Will my readers care if I post a tidbit or two? Those are questions I’ve asked myself time and time again, all the while clicking the “delete draft” button. Nothing shocking, just me being me. I stop myself thinking… “Does that really add value?” I can now answer, “It may not for some but it will for another!” Someone will love it, someone went through it, someone never thought about it!
  2. Oh, and I have to get a real job soon… It’s been a nice year at home but… yea, a real job! One that involves leaving the house so… I won’t write as much, mostly daily, but not as much! Anyone want to take a stab at guest posting, maybe you don’t have a blog and have been thinking of trying it out. Maybe you have one and enjoy guest posting! Let me know. I’d be glad to let you get a feel for it or write about what really matters, family education and entertainment, right?
  3. When I made this site my hopes were that the whole family would be a part of Reed What Matters, this didn’t happen! Don’t be suprised if Reed What Matters extends out to kids in the near future.

All in all, I’m here to teach, to learn and to grow with you; my readers, my friends, my family, my community! I hope you stick around because I’m not going anywhere but forward.  If you disagree with these changes or want to add your 2 cents, please comment below my dear friends! I love to hear from you!

Top 8 Twitter Tools

Posted 22 Sep 2009 — by Jennifer
Category All Things Techy

tWe all have twitter tools that better our tweeting experience. Besides the twitter desktop and mobile applications that I use, I have eight twitter tools that I use constantly.

My favorite tools will help you delete all your DM’s, clean out abandoned tweeters, help you manage who you follow and your followers, help you block your spammers, and will tell you just how great a tweeter you are. Have fun with my favorites!

  1. DM Whacker - Gobs of DM’s sitting on your twitter account, and you don’t want to delete them one by one? Using FireFox as your internet browser, you can delete all your DM’s in one hit. Drawback is, if someone is saving a DM you sent them… It’s now gone. No fear you can erase your inbox only, if that’s an issue for you.
  2. Mycleenr - This is a great tool, if you’re following someone who has abandoned their account. This will show you who to unfollow, by filtering their last tweets date. Drawback, it’s down right now!
  3. BLIP.fm - I love this one; let me know what music you’re listening to. Use it, and listen to music while you’re goofing around.  Try it, if you haven’t already!
  4. Twitalyzer - Lets you know if you’re doing too much of one thing, and not enough of another. In the end, be you… But it will let you know if you need to pick up slack if you’re in it to win it. My stats show me I’m being to chit chatty lately. Not sure if that’s bad, I picked up a lot of followers lately. Overall a great tool.
  5. TweetStats - I love this tool for a few reasons. It shows who you reply to most often and who you RT most often. These are people you would want to recommend to others. The best feature I think is the tweet-cloud feature; this shows what keywords you use most often, and what hash-tags you use most often. If you’re a blogger and don’t know your niche… This may help you with that. There are many other useful features. You must check it out!
  6. TwitBlock - Great to rid spammers. This will scan all those that follow you, and then tells you who is most likely a spammer. What I really like about this tool is that it gives you their reasons for classifying the person as a spammer. Its not 100% accurate, I’ve seen a few of my favorites on here. But, it helps me filter out a good 100 or more spammers with just a few clicks. Oh wow, just ran a scan and Brittney XXX is following me again. Block!
  7. Tweepular - Manage your followers, who you follow, and who you aren’t following back. I mainly use this to see who isn’t following me back. I have many that I follow, and don’t need them to follow me back. They are that valuable, but there are some that you follow to connect with. If you reach out and they still don’t connect, this is a good tool to filter those out!
  8. Topify - This is the greatest follow back tool I’ve ever seen. I don’t believe you have to follow everyone back, so I use this. I get an email when I have new followers. I can reply to follow back, or click a link to block and report as a spammer. It also tells you the followers user to follow ratio and a screen of their last few tweets.  

Now I do use other twitter tools, but those are by far my favorites! Is there other tools you can recommend to our readers? If so, please share by commenting!

New Project: Live From Tent City Blog

Posted 25 Aug 2009 — by Jennifer
Category Taking a Stand
Live From Tent City

Live From Tent City Website

Don’t go peaking at the Live From Tent City Blog yet… Wait! Wait! Wait!

I know, I’m a bit on the silly side. Really though, it’s a work in the making. I only wanted to tell you all about my newest project.

I’m not building the website, that has been done by someone else. Looks good right? Well, my project for Safe Ground, and, the great, Costa Mantis is to get the blog rolling. Yes, I get to work it, make it pretty, and all that good stuff. I’m honored in a most high way. I feel so accomplished, and helping is such a huge reward that I cant even explain in words.

My first bit is to grab all of Costa Mantis videos off of his You Tube Channel , and place them into the blog page of the site. Then I’ll make it all pretty and fantastic, productive, and such. I’m excited to work on this.

You should visit his site, Live From Tent City, though. Just don’t hit the blog yet! For crying out loud, you better listen! Ha Ha! No really, visit his website… Maybe buy one of his DVD’s, all proceeds help the cause. Thank you so very much!

Favorite Spammer Comment

3538457992_e576ef3049_m“It’s none of your business!”

Oh, how I want to approve that comment left by “order zithromax!” Yes, that is their signature to my comment post, Braden Bacha From Big Brother 11; RACIST! What is Zithromax anyhow? Cool, it fights bacteria… Maybe Ill order some, thanks Spammer! We suffer from ear infections, and such.

Hey Spammer, it is my business if it effected my mood any… It’s national television my friend, and even better yet, it’s Big Brother!

I almost pressed the approve button on that one! How would I look approving such spam though. That wouldn’t be good! Endorsing spammers are never a good thing. Even if it tickles your fancy.
