Whipper snappers

When I bought my first microwave my Grandma Jones didn’t really want to learn how to use it. Technology and all was not her ‘thing’. Me? I love new gadgets. Give me a new cell phone? I’m as happy as a clam! New laptop? I can’t wait to learn all the new shortcuts. I love gadgets!! EXCEPT this friggin’ ipod!! I have turned into my Grandma Jones over an ipod!! I don’t understand how to make the thing work!! I never use the manual for a new toy! EVER!!! Not my cell phone. Not my laptop. Not for a new appliance. Not even MY CAR! I LOVE figuring stuff out on my own. BUT THIS ipod is killing me!! I can’t make pictures and music play together, and right NOW I can’t make it TURN OFF!!! I’m sure if I handed this to some random 8 year old within 32 seconds the stupid piece of technology would be programmed to perfection…. so much so it would probably start my microwave from the driveway!! So until I find a random 8 year old, I’m off to scour the internet for instructions. (In my best mumbling voice I would like to add……..I hate this ipod! Makin’ me feel stupid. Stupid ipod!) See ya tomorrow!

I’m Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again

You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹

Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better.

I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings, improving readability, and sprinkling in relevant links where they actually make sense. Not keyword soup. Not robotic nonsense. Just good content wearing better shoes.

Speaking of links, if you’re curious why this matters, Google itself has a surprisingly helpful guide on how search works. It’s worth a peek if you like knowing how the internet’s brain ticks.

And while you’re clicking around, this is also me casually pointing you to an internal post or two that needed a glow-up anyway. Old posts deserve love. And traffic. Mostly traffic.

Oh, and if you spot mentions of my monthly $50 Your Way giveaway, that’s not an accident. You’ll find that happy little temptation living in the sidebar. PayPal, Venmo, or gift card. Your choice. Every month. 🎉

So if things look a bit fresher around here, that’s me courting Google with better SEO and a side of charm. Wish me luck. And maybe click something while you’re here.
