Get noticed: Get a Sivatar
Posted on November 29th, 2007 by Carol
My friend at MyStarbucks blog alerted me today to a new way to get your blog noticed. It's called Sivatar, and here is how it works.
If you have a site avatar then you are half way to sharing your site with the rest of the blogging universe. Sivatar is in Beta right now, but don't let that deter you, head on over to their site and share your avatar and get yourself noticed. I just signed up for the site a few moments ago, and I see there are already hundreds of other blogger avatars ahead of me.
Are you new to blogging and not quite sure what an avatar is? For my site, I use a little duck with my alter-ego name beneath it like this 
Kind of cute, eh? So, what is a Sivatar then? While your avatar promotes you to the world, your Sivatar promotes your site. For Sivatar, you create a 50 X 50 image and upload it, add a little bit of information about your blog and that's it. They check to see that you are abiding by their standards for submission., and if you are, then you are good to go.
Who knows, it could be the next big thing! Besides, it's free and you can always use a little more exposure for your blog, right?

I thought I was just a crappy scroller, but it was the plugin telling me there was an earthquake just posted to the USGS feed! Not only that, but the quake was pretty close....like about 20 miles away from me, over on the Olympic Peninsula 
I don't know why I didn't feel it in real time, but for once, I didn't.
The funny part of this was too, that just this evening as we were discussing the day's events, I said to my husband that there had been quite a few quakes today, and named the locations. Then, I told him, "Don't be surprised if we don't have one here!". Boy, am I good, or what? What can I say? I pick up on these things.
