Everyone Needs To Do Some Tim McGraw Songs Sometimes

Just like it's shared in this topic piece, were tim McGraw ever able to let me say it to him, I'd say thanks. The man's music has pulled so many of us through rough times in our lives. I don't just mean we men, either. The biggest and best of Tim McGraw songs face up to, and ask questions about death, loving, and saying goodbye. These are all topics we each face sometimes.

It's said that Tim McGraw's earlier songs are immature, and even irresponsible, but that might not be the case. Sometimes the energy of youth is mis-viewed as making trouble, noise, or some other socially unacceptable behavior.

Not all of the witnesses are...Go here for the rest!

Writer's Block: Writing for the Trashcan by Donald Pennington

How to Get Past Writer's Block by Not Giving a Damn


Credit: Donald Pennington | © Donald Pennington

How many times has it happened to you? Everything's in place: coffee, cigarettes, and internet connection all fired up and...wham! Writer's block! All of the planning and scheming for a little productive computer time with nothing to show for it but brain farts.

Is this familiar? What could it possibly be that's causing writer's block this time? Believe it or not, the culprit behind the stammering and delay could be a deep fear of criticism. This may not mean the presence of a neurosis, just a simple fear of criticism. How can it be defeated
and let the words (and the angels) fly?

Writer's Block: Writing For The Trashcan-What's there to fear?

For the most part, we humans don't like looking stupid in front of friends or strangers, whether it's true or not. Writer's block can happen just because we are afraid of not getting every little detail right, or more often, simple...Go here for the rest!

AC's Sexiest Men of 2009 by Jenny Ferraro-Wagner

Once in a while we guys get to work with the office crush. By 'office crush,' I mean nothing untoward for the office crush. Nobody messes with her. But all we guys have a crush on the office crush!

There's one at every company. No matter what you do, every company has one or two gals that, every guy there loves to pieces.

Sometimes they just are so great to work with that we guys put them up on some sort of a pedestal. Sometimes their bright sense of humor puts us right back on one too.

How can a guy refuse the chance for all of that shameless self-endorsement?

FTC Notice: I'm receiving no payment from Ms Wagner...but lots o' love! Is love 'in-kind?'

AC's Sexiest Men of 2009

You've all been waiting for it, whether you realize it or not. Everyone on AC has been wanting to ask same question for ages, but until now no one had dared to speak it (or write it, as it were). Exactly who are the sexiest men on AC?

No need to wonder any longer, my friends. After a lot of sacrifice and time consuming research, I've compiled a comprehensive list of AC's Sexiest Men of 2009. Think you've got what it takes to make it on the sexiest men on AC list? You may be surprised! Let's face it, being sexy is a lot more than having rock hard abs and stunning good looks. After a few too many beers, those rock hard abs aren't so rock hard anymore. Stunning good looks? Who needs them? HA! I scoff at the idea of judging a man on his looks alone. It takes a lot more than physical beauty to make it on AC's Sexiest Men of 2009 list!

So who made the cut? In no particular order, here are my picks for the sexiest men on AC

Introducing Darcy Sautelet!

I first met this next writer in an argument.

There we both were, really thinking that each of us was in the right, and as time has grown on, we now both realize just how wrong we both were.

She's still the prettier one though. She got the looks. I got the brains.

Her work is enjoyable. Her spelling, punctuation, and grammar is alright. Her content flows correctly enough and she uses a nice active voice.

But what tickles me the most is how fun this new writer is to get to know!

She's not only a writer, Darcy also tells me she's quite the expert with fashion, and then she mumbles something about a bunch of horses trampling down her lawn so anyway...

Moving on to a more positive topic, I'd like to know I had something to do with your discovery of this next author:

Best SEO Practices to Get Traffic to Your Website by Donald Pennington on Factoidz.com


SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is considered to be the ‘holy grail’ of online marketing. Some folks admit to being a bit confused about SEO methods. That’s understandable. There are so many companies online offering the ‘hottest new thing’, that an online marketer should expect to be confused.

Many of the e-books available on the subject are either just re-hashed SEO tactics from someone else, whose e-book you also bought, or they’re already outdated. Who can a marketer trust these days? You can trust me, that’s who.

Why trust what I share with you about SEO? Because after all, I’m no "SEO guru." I’m just another web writer who’s had the good fortune to learn about SEO from folks that’ve been doing it right for years themselves. There’s no trickery intending to fool web-crawlers (spiders), nor do I use incentives traffic (junk), and there’s no voodoo involved. The only voodoo is that voodoo that you do. I’ve no magic SEO bullet to sell you. All I’d hope for is you share this page on good SEO practices with others by linking here.

Basic SEO works just fine on its own. Basic SEO begins on your site and very few services can offer as effective a service as they might claim. Some are truly good, but even in those cases, website owners are dependant upon the systems that those services use.

So . . . Will you teach me the SEO Shuffle, Don?

You’re durn skippy I will. SEO practices are so easy to do that within just setting up a few pages you’ll be doing these like they’re second nature. So pay attention. There’s an SEO test at the end.

Introducing Sevastian Winters- AC Contributor and More...

As a writer Sevastian winters will keep someone reading. His voice and style are professional enough. His online persona strikes most folks as someone having a brewski (or alternative beverage) with but also the kind of co-worker that won't hesitate to tell the team (the whole damn team) if they're screwing up.

Some folks are just 'comfortable in their own skin' and they usually pull a few readers along with them as they work.

Sevastian brings his writing talent to the world in a variety of ways: a) Here's his Facebook fan page. From this page you'll find his literary work. Any work on AssociatedContent.com is free but I can't speak for whatever else he might choose to market here. So...ask him.; b) Here's the guy's actual home page. Follow his work from here whether you're a Facebook user or not. Trust me on this. Don't judge this guy's ability based sole-ly upon the poor man's mug. Give him a read. And c) Sevastian's Silly Social Media Game! In this final entry on my blog for the man, you'll find a game that could only come from a creative and productive mind. Have fun with this and feel free to tell your other friends about your introduction to the guy as well.

Focus on a Writer-Heather Michelle

I'm very honored to share a certain someone with you today. This young lady I'm about to share with you is one of the sweetest and friendliest people you could hope to find online.

She's quite the writer. Something that makes here really stand out is how she goes to bat for other writers that she knows too.

Heather is sometimes seen as the person that folks go to when they need help...and she's right there.

Several people already know what kind of a gal she is. I'd like to recommend you look into at least a dozen of her pieces published.

What else can be said about her? She's just a darling. ...Go here for the rest!
