The internet is definitely a vast, open space, with what some call the ‘blogosphere’ right in the middle of it. Blogs have been around for years, so it only makes sense that someone would come along and create a free web directory to act as a ‘community’ that pulls all of these blogs together.
Instead of searching for hours looking for information, this SEO friendly web directory, and many more like it, compile and categorize all kinds of different blogs and websites. From parenting, to technology, to celebrities, you can find exactly the type of site you’re looking for with just a few clicks.
Directories can be used as more than just a quest for a specific niche blog or website. Your blog can also be added in the mix for someone else interested in your topic of choice to discover, read, and drive traffic to your website. By doing this, your website can get recognized in a way that it couldn’t ordinarily by just sitting idly by. A good way to get involved with other like-minded people, you may also just discover a whole new world of blogs that you never knew existed - or even thought about before, for that matter.
This all sounds great in theory, but just how easy is it get started submitting websites to these directories? It’s just as easy as it sounds. There are so many web directories to choose from, you can start anywhere and begin building, and spreading your identity on the internet. Yahoo! Directory is a great place to start. The page is easy to navigate, and everything is properly categorized. Beyond that, a quick Google search can point you in the right direction to tons of other directories, some large, some small, but all of them are beneficial in one way or another.
I figured I’d go ahead and blog now, while the mood is still present. I’ve had SUCH a busy day today, it being Easter and all. The three of us spent the majority of the day completing all sorts of tasks, like lying in bed, watching tv, sleeping, and playing Nintendo DS while laying in bed and watching tv. Right before sleeping. Busy, busy, busy. I’m sure Jesus appreciates our enthusiastic celebration.
For those of you who haven’t seen my umpteen million Twitter updates on the subject, the little man has been recovering from another bout of pneumonia. He’s doing well, just finished his last dose of antibiotics this morning, and unless something drastic happens, he’ll be able to go back to school tomorrow. I think the poor thing is going stir-crazy, being cooped up for so long. I’m just thankful that he’s getting back to normal.
And boy, he’s had some Easter, though apparently with the mountains of candy just lying around, is easily confused with other holidays. He came up to me, randomly, and said:
“Trick or treat!”
“Aw…that’s cute, but wrong holiday hun,” I told him.
“…what?” he asked, generally confused.
“Nevermind, I’ll explain it later.” When and if I can muster up the energy to. The histories to some of these holidays can sound a little crazy in retrospect, and I’d better know every answer to the question: ‘but why?’
He ended up with enough candy and chocolate bunnies to feed a small army, not to mention the five dollars that he can’t decide what to do with. I tried to explain to him that it is possible to not do anything with money and just let it sit. But this concept is pretty much foreign to him. For now, he should enjoy the benefits of being a 4-year-old, and spend those dollars before it burns a hole in his pocket.
And have a little candy here and there.
Happy Easter everybody!
