Archives for the month of: September, 2007

For anyone who visited my website over the weekend, you might have discovered that girlrobot had a facelift! I cleaned up a lot of the ads and unnecessary clutter that was on my website. I hope you like it! I think I’ve retired the robot logo for now until I come up with something “cuter”. As for my banner, it was just a random image I found…is it too girly? When I am less lazy I will try making a more original banner.

As for the content, I hope to start writing more original and useful posts, maybe once a week. I’ve been so extremely busy, it’s been hard to find time to put in as much as I would like to on this blog. I’ve also started a personal blog since I missed writing more about things going on in my life. I have some big news which I will share on there as well. It will probably be a few days/weeks before I unveil that though. As for the past year, I can’t believe that I’ve been so consistent with updating. For anyone who’s followed me through my websites in the past, you know I lose interest quickly or can go weeks/months without updating!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new layout. Please tell me if you find anything wrong/broken or have suggestions you’d like to make. As always, my contact link is up top and I answer all of my emails. Also, if you’d like to do a link exchange either email me or automatically add me and when I catch it on my incoming links I will add you back. Thanks for everyone who’s visited, left a comment, linked me, or sent me email in the past year. I love getting to know fellow bloggers!! Here’s to another year of blogging :)

Today’s WikiHow is a really useful one as our mailbox is probably 70% junk mail!

How To Get Rid Of Junk Mail

Here is one I didn’t know you could do. Checks are the most annoying thing I get in my mailbox considering I never use them and it’s such an easy way to get identity theft:

Call your credit card companies and ask them to stop sending you cash advance checks. Even if they come (conveniently) with your bill each month, cash advances usually start accruing interest immediately, so it’s not a good idea to use them. If you do receive them and don’t plan to use them, you should destroy them.
