I love the stories and read them to my children. Nice article.

It was really lovely to be there. Obviously I've focused on Syd here, but the city itself is quite wonderful.

If you ever did visit England, I'd love to meet up for tea and cakes. :)

Great article Katie. Wearing an uncomfortable bra is like wearing a pair of uncomfortable shoes. It makes your life miserable. I'm still on the quest for the perfect bra.

My kids listened to Pink Floyd and I loved his music also. This is a beautiful tribute to him. Your photos make me want to visit England.

I don't seek for PageRank, since it is not that important for your traffic. Google is not paying much attention on PageRank anymore.
I am just choosing good places to promote no matter if they will or won't bring any traffic. In long term it pays out.
I notice my articles and blogs are moving up in search engines trough time, so I guess backlinking is working.
I would suggest you these places for promotion:
lensroll
chime,
stumpleupon (no-follow but brings traffic),
zujava,
paper.li,
digg,
technorati,
linkedin,
squidoo,
wizzley,
hubpages,
blog,
forums,
EzineArticles...
pinterest (still do-follow if you place link in description)
I use these mostly.

The cupcake costume is truly adorable! I can't believe how popular cupcakes are from eating to home decor and now costumes. Great idea!

I have just written an article about butterflies (for off line mag) and I am still amazed about them. They certainly look great made of glass. They decorate the place and cheer the soul!

@BrendaReeves Sounds like a nightmare. Hope the pill dispenser helps.

I've got to admit that I'm not really one for romantic movies usually. I started watching it because it was on and everyone was making a big effort to be silent so I could hear it. I ended up quite enjoying it though.

For those who are into light-hearted romance, then this would be quite wonderful. Personally I want the full psychological intrigue of how a young couple copes with such a legacy.

At first sight Scream looks pretty simple. But all great things are simple really. Simple but special and powerful!

I have to admit I have still a lot to do in the area of promotion. I have used RedGage and it didn't bring me any visible results, so at the moment I depend on more 'conventional' backlinking strategies. I didn't know backlink from Delicious can become do-follow. Thanks for that info.
Have you done any experiments to get some PageRank on these links too?

Screaaaaaaaaam!

Just kidding:) I think I have met a lot of different sorts of vampires in different situations and I am already used to them...

Thanks for useful info!

This is exactly what I think. TV is full of violence and yet we use it as a sort of nanny. Fairy tales on the other hand offer a chance to control every word before it is spoken. But this brings a lot of responsibilities to parents and we unfortunately live in pretty irresponsible society.
Thanks for your insightful comments!

From the snippets I've seen, I don't think the film would be my cup of tea. Little too schmaltzy and vapid - I know, I know, that's the point, but it doesn't float my girly boat. I did really enjoy your review of it, though. And, I can see why it would appeal to some.

Hello Chihuahua. Yep, I agree. You wouldn't sit down to read the screenplay of Die Hard - well, you might, but it wouldn't be the same. However, I wouldn't even go as far as to say you have to go to the theatre to see Shakespeare. There are plenty of really good film and TV productions that are available on DVD and, usually, readily borrowable from a library. As far as getting kids interested, dragging them kicking and screaming to a theatre ain't going to help. So, I say, let's make Shakespeare as accessible as possible. That doesn't mean I condone dumbing it down, of course!
