How to Store, Publicize and Market Your Family Memories

March 3, 2022 by Jessy Troy

When someone starts talking about priorities, they usually list family right at the top. Every single day you are creating memories with your family that you will forever cherish.

If you are like many others, sharing these moments brings nearly as much joy as experiencing them!

With all of the advances in today’s technology, the web is the best resource for keeping a record of your family’s precious time together, whether through blogging or online scrapbooking via your personal website.

The first step is picking a domain name. This could be your surname, a phrase that means something special to your family, or even the names of your two crazy cats. Here are a few fun tips to pick a great family-related domain name.

Namify is a great site to check if you are trying to find a cool blog name:

Once you have purchased your domain name, you will need to find a hosting plan that fits your needs. Here is another useful resource to help you pick a cheap yet reliable hosting plan. Here are a few trusted shared hosting providers to choose from. Both of these steps are inexpensive and easy to complete.

Blogging

Some people seem to be intimidated by the thought of blogging, while others blog every minor detail of their life. There is no right or wrong approach. A blog is a great way to digitally capture your family’s most important moments.

You can write about:

Holiday get-togethers
Family vacations
Day-to-day life
The crazy antics of your toddler
The massacre the dog left in your laundry room
How your husband attempted to put new gutters on the house

Think you don’t have the time to blog? You can update a blog in less time than it takes to write a journal entry. There is also the added benefit of having friends subscribe to your blog instead of inundating you with calls about what you have been up to and who is hosting the Memorial Day barbeque this year.

It’s all right there at the click of a mouse. If you are interested in promoting your blog beyond your friends and families, here are a few marketing resources from @dirjournal to read to learn the trick!

Online Scrapbooking

Online scrapbooking is an enjoyable way to share and preserve favorite photos. Scrapbooking has really caught on over the last few years, but it takes a lot of time. There are materials to purchase, you need an area to work in, cleanup is a hassle, and if you make a mistake, it often can’t be undone.

Online scrapbooking doesn’t have to cost money. There are plenty of free downloads available – such as background templates, clip art, and special fonts. You can design scrapbook pages for any occasion, adding as much artistic flair as you want. The benefits of online scrapbooking go beyond clicking the ”undo” button to fix a mistake; unlike a regular scrapbook page, digital pictures will not fade, fall apart, or get lost in a box.

Twenty or thirty years down the road, all of this information will still be available right at your fingertips. Digital memory preservation keeps your treasured moments frozen in time. The internet is here to stay and it will only become better in the future. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about records stored on paper. Begin keeping your family memories online, where they will be available to enjoy for generations to come.

Writers Block. The Pain and Panic are Real.

November 4, 2014 by Rosemary

By Lisa D. Jenkins

ThereÂs nothing quite like that feeling of knowing you owe the readers of your blog several hundred words and realizing youÂve got no idea what to write about. The realization that you can write on just about anything only makes it worse. It mires your brain in some sort of one track spiral that does nothing but turn around and around on itself.

Sorry, there are no blogs coming out of the station today.

So you take a walk. You open up the Google machine and surf around. You browse your book collection. You check your blog roll. Hoping for some sort of inspiration to drop an idea into your head.

Been there?

WeÂve all seen the lists of X Ways to Beat WriterÂs Block and there are often some great bits of advice in them. The problem is sometimes when youÂre so stuck you canÂt string a cohesive content thought together to save yourself, light prompts usually donÂt cut it. You need serious, focused help.

Enter the blog topic generators of the world!

They arenÂt perfect, they wonÂt write for you and they canÂt be held responsible for everything, but topic generators have saved me more times than I can count. HereÂs a look at 4 blog topic generators you can use to get writing, right now.

BlogAbout by Impact Branding & Design

ÂBlogAbout was an idea born out of frustration.Â

Start by clicking the refresh button in the center of the screen until you find a prompt that strikes a spark.

Clicking it 5 times has given me:

preparation
the customer experience
customer service
a challenge
saving money

IÂll use preparation.

Now, click the Next button that generates a fill-in-the-blank phrase you can use with your own keywords. Hit the refresh button to get a new phrase or hit the heart to save a phrase to your notebook.

HereÂs what I got:

When It Pays to
Why __ Timing is Everything
7 Things that Really Great X Do
7 X Tools No X Should be Without
4 Ways to Make Your X More Successful

And thatÂs how I ended up here with a post on blog topic generators no blogger should be without. How great is that?

Here are a few more generators for you to check out.

ContentIdeator

Enter in a single keyword and click Get Ideas. Pages of existing headlines come up and all you have to do it choose whether you want to see 10, 20 or 30 ideas at a time. Use what you see as inspiration for you own post.

Portent’s Content Idea Generator

Enter your keyword and click the arrow to get started. IÂll use content. Next, youÂll get a title with helpful descriptors. DonÂt like it? Hit refresh for another, and another. HereÂs the second title I was given:
ThatÂs workable, right?

Blog Topic Generator from Hubspot

YouÂll need three nouns for this. When youÂre ready, hit the Give Me Blog Topics button. I used content, productivity and business and was given these 5 blog topics.

So. IÂm not saying these generators will fix everything but theyÂll get you focused on a single thread thatÂs more likely to turn into a blog post or article than, say, aligning your writing utensils from left to right in order of frequency of use will.

And now I give a round of applause to Impact Branding & Design, Portent, Content Forest and Hubspot for helping us all to find our way out of the desolation that is writerÂs block.

10 Great Sites to Easily Add Graphics to Your Content

February 4, 2014 by Rosemary

By James White

Great images and illustrations are crucial to generating viewer interest and engagement with your site. However, unless youÂre a professional photographer or designer, finding fresh, interesting graphics to add to your text can be difficult. Luckily, there are sites online that offer great visual content that can be easily added to your site.

Unsplash

Unsplash features free, copyright-free, high-resolution photos. They post 10 new photos every 10 days, so you won’t run out of great images for your content. You can subscribe to the site to get alerts when they post new images, too.

Picjumbo

Like Unsplash, Picjumbo offers free photos to use with your content. There is a new photo posted every day, and you can subscribe to their newsletter to stay on top of new offerings.

NVD3.js

This content site, NVD3.js, may have a strange name, but it has great content. Need a chart for your article or blog? NVD3.js gives you a plethora of pre-made graphs you can customize with your data. YouÂll need to know a little about coding to use this site, though.

Lettering.JS

Lettering.JS is a jQuery plug-in that allows you to create your own graphic text, kerning type, logos and more. If you ever wanted to jazz up your content’s text, this is the tool to use.

Scrollorama

Have you ever thought, “Gee, I wonder how blogs make their text zoom and spin when you scroll down the page?” Well, Scrollorama can make your content dreams come true in the form of a jQuery plug-in. This tool will help you make text flip, zoom, fade and practically jump through hoops.

Mapbox

Trying to explain what your town would look like with a few adjustments? Decided to map out your next road trip? Want to illustrate what the Union would look like if France never sold the United States all that land? If so, Mapbox can help. This tool helps you create the map of your dreams and post it with your content.

Flat Icons

Elegant Themes offers 384 flat icons you can download for free. All you have to do is press the download button, and all of the icons are at your fingertips in just seconds.

Ease.ly

Infographics are a huge crowd pleaser. Who doesn’t like ingesting bite-size information with a scoop of interesting illustrations? Ease.ly is one of the top free infographic tools online. You can use it to build your own custom infographics, like this example from CJ Pony Parts, for your site.

Meme Generator

Okay, infographics are hot right now, but nothing can beat the meme when it comes to graphics popularity. You can create your own meme to fit any occasion using the Meme Generator. It allows you to edit already popular memes to fit your needs, or you can make one from scratch. Don’t feel like making or editing a meme? Just use one that someone else created (with attribution, of course).

Openclipart

Clip art may be the old stand-by for graphics, but it’s never gone out of style. Openclipart offers thousands of images that you can download and use. There’s everything from cartoon bunnies to drawings of sticks and everything in-between.

Text got you down? Take any or all of these tools out for a test drive, and youÂll never have boring content again.

What IS an SOB?!

Recently a new reader asked me about SOBs, what they stood for, and how the whole thing worked. So I’ve made a new page, much like this post, so that all new readers will know in the future. And so that you would know about SOBs where they came from and why people actually want to be one.

No, No, It’s not THAT!

When the SOB program started, I was looking for a way to encourage the sense of community that Successful-Blog stood for. We’re all about relationships and conversation here. The conversations are fun, fast, and sometimes irreverent. Discussions on the blog often brought up good ideas, and I wanted to make sure those ideas continued and become more out in the blogosphere–everyone making everyone a little bit better. It’s the only way that we can make ourselves strong here in what they call “The Magic Middle.” We talk to each other and we listen too.

What the SOB Program Is and Is Not

The idea was that anyone who took the discussion back to their blog would let me know. Then I would give that blog recognition on Successful-Blog for extending the conversation into the blogosphere–making the community larger, the dialogue bigger, all of us smarter, better and our businesses stronger. Most folks forgot the part about letting me know. So I kept watch and found out on my own.

Every week I make copies of their logos and add them to the list of Successful and Outstanding bloggers who understand that the strength of the blogosphere comes from relationships, interconnectedness, and community. Not all of these folks have all of the links you might expect, but they will, because they show the key traits of a successful blogger.

Soon enough it became apparent that having a blog didn’t need to be a criteria either. Some of the best ideas came from blog readers who added value to the dialogue, but had no blog to bring the conversation back to. I felt strongly they should be included as SOBs too. Which tells you what the program is not, i.e. a link exchange. That’s also why, though blogroll links are appreciated, they are not the stuff of which SOBs are made of

The Badges

If you’ve been through a few pages on Successful-Blog you’ve seen these badges.

and wondered about them. Those are the official badges awarded each week to those who are named Successful and Outstanding Bloggers of Successful Blog.

It was Mike Sigers who thought of the blog badges, and Mike Rundle of 9rules who designed them. The SOB for Successful and Outstanding Blogger was my own– a bit of mischief to underscore our sense of irreverence and openness in discussions. It’s become quite a symbol of what the blog stands for. Every now and then a fun post goes up titled “Liz called me an SOB,” those are my favorite.

People don’t have to put the badges on their blogs. They don’t need to link back. Most of them do and I’m grateful for the sense of community that shows. More that than, I’m glad that they extend the community further out.

If You Want to Be an SOB

Find a way to start a dialogue about how blogging helps business, or carry the dialogue here back to your own blog. Offer a great feature, post, idea, or an article that will shed new light for the blogosphere. Add an outstanding idea, insight, or spark to the conversation going on at this blog or start one on your own and share what happened here. Contribute something that demonstrates that you think like a Successful and Outstanding Blogger. Find a unique way to “add value” to the conversation going on in the blogosphere to make it grow stronger.

I usually wait until a blog is four months old … staying power counts in building relationships. 🙂

Then just tell me about what you’re doing. I’m pretty easy to persuade. E-mail Liz at lizsun2@gmail.com with a link to your post or a brief description of what you did.
That’s all there is to it.

Every SOB is automatically included in the SOB Hall of Fame. Stop in there when you’re looking for a great read.

Can’t wait until I can call you an SOB too.
