Gluten Free Twitter Party

The Gluten Free Twitter Party is TODAY!! There are three panel discussions and tons of prizes to win, so follow the #gfree hashtag to participate. Good options to follow a hashtag are search.twitter.com, tweetchat.com or tweetdeck.com (the last one is a desktop client).

This party has been created and organized by Bonnie at Autism Family Adventures in honor of her birthday, so be sure to thank her and wish her a happy birthday!

The start date of the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge has been moved to April 6th, so there is still time to sign up for the emails. In the meantime, Darren recommends doing a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) on your blog.

Root & Sprout


The April edition of Root & Sprout, the monthly webzine for gentle, hands-on parenting, is up now and there are some great articles this month (as always)! There are also several giveaways, which you have until April 8th to enter.

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

There are lots of neat things happening around the blogging world these days – not the least of which is the Ultimate Blog Party 2009. There’s still two more days left in this blog hopping extravaganza, although with almost 1900 blogs at last count, there’s no way I’ll visit them all! Here’s my party post if you haven’t checked it out yet.

If you are love to read, there are a couple of great challenges going on this spring. I’m planning to do them both but still need to get my list together for the first one, since it started last Friday.

Spring Reading Thing 2009

srtsmallSpring Reading Thing 2009 from Callapidder Days (March 20th -June 20th). This challenge basically involves making a list of the books you plan to read this spring and then reporting back at the end on how you did. You can include reviews of the books, but you don’t have to. I’m sure reading everyone’s lists and reviews will end up making my to-read list even longer, but, hey, there’s nothing wrong with that!

Read Together 2009

rt71Read Together 2009 from Snapshot (April). For this one, set a goal for reading with your kids. It can be reading aloud, reading the same book and then talking about it, reading as a family, whatever you choose, and then posting at the end about how it went. The goal is to connect more with your children through reading.

31 Days to Build a Better Blog

31-days-build-better-blogEven though I don’t blog to make money, I enjoy reading Problogger for the great information and ideas Darren provides. I was really intrigued as I was scrolling through my blog reader and saw this image.

Each day in April, Darren will be posting one way to make your blog better. It will include both a teaching component and a practical component, i.e. homework. You can also register your email for notifications and extra content.

Scribbit Newsletter

And speaking of signing up for things, did you see that Michelle at Scribbit is now offering an email newsletter? It will include lots of extra stuff like:
* Sneak peaks into upcoming giveaways
* Online coupons from sponsors
* Recipes and crafts
* Insider blogging tips
* More fun things to do in Alaska

You can sign up for the Scribbit newsletter here.

So, you tell me, what other cool things am I missing out on?
