09NovHow addicted are you to reality tv?

Sponsored Post:

Apparently I need to brush up on my reality tv shows, but how addicted are you and what reality tv shows do you like to watch?

I like to watch America’s Next Top Model sometimes but does that even count as reality tv? I’m not really into the other shows that much though my nanny and Cody go nuts for them. Their current favorite would have to be Dancing with the Stars.. not my cup of tea.

I’d much rather sit and watch some Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: CI or Nip/Tuck.. Nip/Tuck being my absolute favorite tv show ever.

I do like the goofy reality shows featured on vh1 though. Shows like ‘Rock of Love’, ‘I Love New York’, ‘The Hogans’ and the new one with tela tequila (or whatever her name is). It’s more for the laugh factor than any actual viewing enjoyment. I find the people straggling for a celebrity date to be insanely funny as you can never tell what they’re going to do and you know more than half of them are faking everything they do when the cameras are rolling. Minus the Hogans, I actually do like that show

The singing bee wasn’t too shabby either, at least in the humor department. A world famous song + random non-singing-talented-people = major laughability!

So where do you stand on the side of reality tv, do you like it, dislike it, think it’s ‘real’, think it’s rigged, love it, hate it… ?

11AugAlive Directory - Human edited, quality links

Alive Directory is a paid inclusion, quality website directory that lists quality, family-friendly, and spam-free web sites

While I don’t like having to pay for a listing I do like the fact that it’s human edited.

Human edited directories are the best directories online as they ensure the sites listed have been looked over and reviewed with a real set of eyes, rather than a bunch of code skimming the sites for certain key aspects like cuss words and photograph alt tags.

They also have a very nice design which is what pulled me into the site to begin with. It’s simple, clean, has ample room for the content, a lovely eye-catching logo and the colors play very nice together. It’s very web 2.0-ish but hey, that’s the type of design I like. You’ll have to be the judge in that area of the site.

All in all I feel this is a good directory and would be well worth the money to be included, however, I do feel that they need a free listing section. Just a simple space somewhere on the site where users can submit their links for free.

Having this type of section is always a good idea for any website directory as it gains more back links, and it’s easy to drop the benefits down a few notches so you really don’t lose much, as serious advertisers are going to buy the slots that have perks associated with them before they even think about a free listing.

Keep the paid listings and featured slots but have a smaller free section with a limit on the site description (or no description), require a link back to your directory (make free members use a button rather than a text link) and voila. Same income with more link backs. It won’t hurt ya and it’ll help your page rank in the long run. Maybe that six can go up to an eight? It never hurts to try!

Just for those who are curious here’s a list of Alive Directory’s main categories, you’ll need to visit (which I recommend, it’s super pretty!) to view all the sub-categories:

Arts
Business
Computer
Entertainment
Health
Home
Internet
Kids & Teens
News
Recreation
Reference & Education

08AugWho Needs Lisa Frank?

With school coming up around the bend the rush for school supplies will be going full force in another week.

The only problem is that local office supply and other stores such as Wal*Mart and K-Mart only carry pre-designed mass produced products.

Which are fine in a pinch but they’re easily lost and more often than not half the school’s employees and students end up with the same boring products in their bags and backpacks causing confusion and the occasional swap of ownership.

It’s much better to go the extra mile, spend an extra buck or two and spring for a custom binder that better suits your personality and stands out in a crowd.

You can design your binder to be simple, artsy, hobby inspired or anything else you desire. From simple name addition to special material, personal photographs and more, you can make your custom binders just the way you like them!

You can also get custom boxes, slipcases, covers, folders, portfolios, holders and more with your custom binders. Want a custom diploma cover for your upcoming graduate? Not a problem, you can get those as well.

Who needs lisa frank or five star when you can make your own designs?!
