Basically, more things that interest me, like great educational sites and then freebies and sweepstakes online. It’s possibly a bit egocentric of me, but I figure if it interests me, if probably interests others as well.

This one is the first blogger sites I set up and it’s all about amazing educational finds online.. from sites to free offers. I teach tech, so we use a lot of these resources and I never cease to be amazed at the plethora of wonderful free educational tools and services available on the wide world web. I found this wonderful blogger theme (see January’s “Best Blogger Themes and How-to“) and thought it perfect for the type of blog I wanted to do. I have many categories that help to organize the various posts.. from assorted grades, subjects to homeschooling and freebies. I also occasionally share a lesson or two that I’ve personally taught in class and saw great results with. Check out great-edu-sites.blogspot.coms

So, this is a newer one I call “Enter to win!” I like sweepstakes and enter to win contests. I mostly like to win, but you can’t win if you don’t enter. I find it handy to have a place to go for a fresh supply of contest sites to enter. There are many out there, but sometimes you have to become a member and log in for access or sift through miles of content to find the actual sweeps. I wanted to put something together that was easy to find and do, quickly, without any other gobblygook to slow things down. So, I found this blogger theme that was perfect for the type of entry listing format I had in mind. All the newer contest go directly to the top and basically everything new displays right there on the front page. No need to search. I can’t cover ALL the contests out there, but I do try to post some quality ones along with some personal favorites. Check out nter2win.blogspot.com

Blogger is the perfect platform for the beginner. As you can see, it’s still fun for the not-so-beginners too. Blogger sites are easy to set up. You can have your site and content ideas up and online in 15 minutes and there are tons of themes to choose from too. I have a total of 6 blogger blogs. You can see the list of them on my blogger profile. Two were featured above and below are thumbnails of a few more, but they offer less content or simply pull the rss feed from one of my larger domains. But maybe you’d like to take a look at them anyways.

Thanks for reading and checking them out. I love feedback, so feel free to let me know what you think. Blogger.com is the free blogging service referred to here and what I used to create these simple blog style sites. Haven’t started blogging yet? Why not give it a try?
