From Denny: What an exciting week it has been with the 18 Day Egypt Revolution, following the twists and turns of real life drama. I'm proud to say I wrote many posts to cover it. The most time consuming was to wade through various English written Egyptian blogs to find out what was going on, what they thought was happening in their own country.
Remember the state controlled the news. You think it's bad in America, try living under martial rule with news black-outs and propaganda. OK, the Republicans do so love to spread their political gospel but at least most Americans know it's all lies. Comics make jest of what the GOP churns out of their "war rooms."
I've started yet another silly blog for interesting people, whatever I find as I find it: Dennys People Watching. Originally, I thought it might be interesting to cover world leaders but then Lady Gaga just had to get some face time. She is my most favorite outrageous person. If she's this cheeky at age 24, can you imagine her at age 50? Sure hope she doesn't burn herself out and become a conservative in her old age.
I also waded through a tremendous number of political cartoons about the Egypt Revolution which, naturally, have proven to be a big hit with the Middle Eastern countries. I even started posting the Egypt news on The Social Poets rather than Dennys Global Politics because I was concerned anyone from the Middle East or Egypt might be in danger for visiting what the state might perceive as a mainstream American media site After all, who would think a poetess would be a political subversive? OK, bring on the political clowns... :)
During this fast-paced Egypt news we had the Chinese New Year and the Super Bowl. I managed to get up some great recipes so take a look at the four food blogs.
Another blog I just birthed too, still in development stage, is Dennys Guest Bloggers. I thought it might be fun to invite other bloggers to answer interview questions for their readers to better get to know them. It's also an interesting way to help market your blog, your art work or whatever. I'm always up for figuring out ways to get out information - of which I am The Ultimate Information Junkie - and experiment with how to reach maximum awareness on the web.
If you are interested and want to post there - which would get linked on my many other blogs and linked in search engines and social sites - leave a comment on the blog or email here: warriorspearl@gmail.com. It might be a good idea to catch my eye with the subject heading: Dennys Guest Bloggers.
Over the past several months artists and other bloggers have written for guest blogging but some of them were not a fit for my blogs or I couldn't get to them at the time. So, I've been wracking my brain to figure out how to create a fit for just about any blogger - and in a timely manner. So this crazy blog idea was born.
Take a look around. Put up your feet; take a load off and enjoy yourself as you trip through what I found to post! Sometimes, I feel like a writing monkey as depicted in that silly photo...
