The guest bloggers have submitted some great stuff. Their entries will start appearing tomorrow.
$5000 jump out of a plane challenge. If we had raised $5000 by today, Meryl would’ve had to jump out of a plane. Fell short by one c-note ($100)! I did a lousy job telling the world about my birthday. Typically, Meryl would say it was close enough and just do it. But seriously, this girl is scared of jumping out of a plane.
Not gonna be sad I couldn’t add a little excitement to my birthday celebration. It’s supposed to be a happy occasion.
So get ready to win some prizes! Oh, if you still want to contribute a guest post — it’s not too late. Just let me know. Meryl said I could use her contact form as I don’t have my own physical inbox.
If you’re subscribed to meryl.net articles RSS feed — thank you — beware that no new articles will appear here. We’re moving articles back over to the blog — to keep it simple. The site will receive minor design updates to reflect the change. Thank you for reading and sticking with me.
meryl’s notes has two parts to it: The blog and articles (well, three, if you count the newsletter, but it doesn’t have a feed). The blog contains shorter postings while articles consists of longer posts that are good for a long time such as tips, reviews, and advice. If you subscribe to meryl’s notes blog feed, you won’t see what’s in the articles and vice versa.
Here are the feeds — thank you for subscribing! If there’s anything you want more of… please post a comment. The content should be valuable to you.
Those of you who read this blog through RSS readers — I apologize if you’re seeing a bunch of old blog entries resurface. I found a post that pointed to images in the right place, but because of a redirect — the images were broken. So I fixed some and still have more to do.
There are thousands of posts and files from this seven-year-old blog and over 10-years-old Web site… so things break over time. I’m sure plenty of things remain broken. Thanks for bearing with me.
