The News Room
Just in case you need one more reason to come visit Hawaii, take a look a the video below. Kilauea has been putting on a spectatcular show for weeks now. You can come see me on Oahu, then take advantage of the interisland airfare wars to fly to the Big Island for $9.00 instead of the usual fare of around a hundred bucks. I’ve been to the Big Island a few times, but never when Madam Pele was showing herself so magnificently. Maybe I should spring for the nine bucks myself, ya think?
Note: Video was corrupted and has been removed.
How do you like my blog’s news service, The News Room? This is a resource I know I’m going to be using again, a clearinghouse for news from respected news sources like the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Press (AFP.) I enjoy blogging about my life and my own little corner of the world, but it’s good to reach outside that bubble to share relevant and timely stories like this. The News Room is constantly updated with stories and news releases from around the globe, so there’s always a variety of topics to choose from. Whatever your blog focuses on - hard news, entertainment, health and science - whatever, you need to bookmark this site. Categories are clearly defined, so it’s easy to go right to your area of interest and find the kind of information you like to share. The process is user-friendly, even for a techno-phobe like me. After I located the story above I clicked one button and and it was ready to copy into my blog. There’s no fee for the service and you can actually make money when you use it. Each article comes with a bit of advertising that produces the revenue to fund the service and can be added to the revenue stream for your blog. All of us in the blogosphere need to keep our posts fresh and relevant. This a great tool to help us do that. The possibility of income (and opportunities for some great prizes, too!) is just icing on the cake.

I swear we’re feeling Kilauea’s heat here on Oahu! Hiya Skeet! I love your self-portrait with the garden glove and the ice tea! Pssst… I hate spiders too! I do love the lizards… as long as they stay at least a yard away form me!
