MS Friend is now MS Strength
Hey!
I think the alterations for the name change are complete— no more copyright infringements. Being a webmaster/geek and a fan of the mechanics of things, I’m most annoyed with the rebuilding of a ranking with Google. Yes, I’m into search engine targeting, Google stats, and key word optimization. It took about two years for my Suite101.com site to gain decent traffic and become widely searched, and I am part of their large, high-ranking site. So to start here from the beginning again with Google is a bit irritating. But I always think that the turtle wins in the end. And I love a CHALLENGE. I have a whole mess of topic ideas up my sleeve: may they SLOWLY exit my mind and come out through my finger tips onto this site. If you are a blogger, I apologize in advance for mundane and elementary articles, but they are the foundation for more advanced things. Feel free to just say “hello” in the comments sections!
Speaking of challenges, I was recently interviewed by New Mobility magazine about my long social security disability case. They have a website, although they only provide a snippet of the interview (under “MS Life.”) I did find the magazine at my local library. It’s for active wheelchair users as well as MS patients of all abilities, and it’s quite interesting. If you can get your hands on a copy, check it out.
Facebook is quieting down, although I still have my binges. I’ve found Joan (A Short in the Cord), Lisa (Brass and Ivory), and Linda (Brain Cheese) there, to my amusement. I believe they also have MS Society groups to join, but so far I’ve only hitched to HS reunion stuff. Funny to see long lost buddies.
That’s about it for now. Got a writing assignment that I need to get to. I hope to be back here in a few days with a new article, as I patiently wait for the search engine crawlers to once again find my pages and bring me back to life! Lawd, gimme strength (MS Strength)….
Peace out, you crazy cats—
Jen

WONDERFUL name branding. I’ve considered it, maybe later.

Yeah– thanks! My own attention deficit leads me to use something real easy and memorable.

PS: I don’t walk around with a double chin in real life (not yet..) So please disregard the one seen in the second photo. I think I’m scrunched up or something….

I think just this past week, I linked Lisa E. at Brass & Ivory in almost every post I wrote (much to her horror I’m sure!)…so have no fear…my technorati scores for OTHERS runs quite high!
And yes, you ARE cracking me up on that FaceplantBook website…LOL

I’m going to attend a local Facebookers Anonymous meeting next week. I hear they serve the best alcohol.
