Good Fortune: Okyo's Cranes Now on View | Unframed (Reblog)

Good fortune and longevity? Every culture should and probably does have something that symbolizes this. In Japan it's the crane. Would be interesting to research the symbols of other countries. Or ... ??? Maybe we could ask Robert Langdon. :) Jokes aside, click the link because this artwork is exquisite!

" ... Maruyama Okyo (1733–95), a painter who revolutionized the practice and taught or influenced generations of Japanese painters."

Good Fortune: Okyo's Cranes Now on View | Unframed

(NOTE: At the time of the posting the paintings were on exhibit; not at the time of this reblogging.)

The Okyo artwork motivated me to search for more pictures, photos, and illustrations of cranes. Found this beautiful photograph of Grey Crowned Cranes and wanted to share it.

Earth Day and Tree Tuesday - What a Great Combination!

Content previously published Apr 22, 2014. Updated / republishing for Earth Day 2017.

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

I should be more diligent since the earth is everyone’s home. Which means Earth Day should probably be marked on my calendar and every Tuesday I should have a contribution for Tree Tuesday. Let’s not even mention Climate Change or Global Warming. But I have to do a post because today, April 22nd, 2014, because Earth Day and Tree Tuesday are combined. So below are a few links to show my care and concern about planet earth, our home. Can’t really say lot because science was never my best subject.

The Earth flag is not an official flag, since there is no official governing body over Earth. The flag holds a photo transfer of a NASA image of the Earth on a dark blue background. It has been associated with Earth Day. Although the flag was originally copyrighted, a judge ruledhttp://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/CopyrightLaw/Copyrightability/articles/EarthFlagVsAlamoFlag_A.shtml that the copyright was invalid. Earth Flag Ltd. v. Alamo Flag Co., 154 F. Supp. 2d 663 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Indian Banyan Tree And The Pippal Tree

- These trees have cultural significance as they are considered sacred by the Hindus and Buddhists. The banyan tree is the National Tree of India. All trees should have cultural significance to everybody. Next link!

Trees Deserve Respect

- The presence of trees is what separates earth from all the other planets.

Celebrate Earth Day and Help Protect the Planet

- Donate, reuse and recycle; save energy; and maintain an awareness of environmental needs. So what if you can’t afford a hybrid car. You can use a recycle bin and turn off lights!

DON’T KILL RAPTORS!!

- Raptors are birds of prey. They serve a very important purpose. They help maintain a balance in our environment.

Experimenting with Blogspot (So far ... So good.)

Gave my blog a little “cosmetic surgery”. This is what happens when you are in “self-teach learn as you go” mode.

Use a do-it-yourself tool or application for years and then one day you have an “Ah hah” moment because you finally figure out what the “button” is for!

Usually, my attention is devoted to my Tumblr blog, but decided that there was something not quite right with the look of my Blogger ( Blogspot ) blog.

Hmmm … ? What can I do that I haven't done before? Have you ever changed the fonts for the blog post titles and dates or added highlights? It's a simple thing but for me it was a revelation!

Well, I didn't want to get overly ambitious since it was my first time but clicked on the “Customize” button for the template dared myself.

Clicked on “Advanced” and boldly went where I have never gone before!

Changed the font for my post title so that it could stand out more and increased the font size for the dates and even highlighted it in blue. That was it! Didn't dare go any further for fear things might get screwed up. Very pleased with my blogging adventure!

Wizzley Welcomes Writers | Newbie or Experienced

Earn passive income. Wizzley is an online writing community where several of my articles have been published on a wide range of topics. The community is friendly, the support is fabulous and many freelance writers and people who work at home will like the relaxed work at your own pace environment. Some parties have taken the extra step to write a public review. Some are happy. Some are not. My plus?

Wizzley is a great place to park your evergreen content and let it generate residual income from Google AdSense.

My Twitter Weekend Wrap-Up
Paper.li is a tool that helps you publish your own online newspaper. How cool is that? You can create and publish your very own "Daily Planet " with news items of interest to you that might be of interest to other readers also.

Republishing Previously Published Content
Information for those who used to contribute to YAHOO Voices before that network was shut down. What many of us liked about the YCN (YAHOO Contributor Network) was that it accepted "previously published articles". What was really great was that payment was actually received for articles that had been sitting at another site for well over a year with almost nothing to show for it!

Earn Money For Publishing Short Posts
Daily Two Cents (dailytwocents.com ) is an online writing community very different from the others. It's pay-per-view, includes social networking, and allows the writer or contributor to earn 100% on their affiliate referral links. That's right! NO REVENUE SHARING!! You keep what you earn!

Work at Home ~ Home Biz Projects : Another Weekend! - UPDATE #1

This time last year, it was another weekend and in this post - WAH! On Top of WAH! Another Weekend! - I provided a status report on my various work at home projects. At that point, I had created several potential residual income streams ( or at least I thought I had). 😉 Quote from the previous post:

"Tsū , myLot , my blogs at - Tumblr, BlogJob and Blogger (or Blogspot ), and online writing communities like DailyTwoCents , HUBPages , Wizzley, etc."

♦ ♦ ♦ UPDATES:

Tsū went belly up! I'm a tad bit upset because I had written reviews of some movies and TV shows. Plan to republish the content elsewhere. Already republished one of the posts at. Check it out! Review: Mary Kom (2014) ~ Fans of Priyanka Chopra.

myLot is working out and has actually paid me several times. This is my most recent discussion. You don't earn based on starting discussions. You get paid for interacting with members. But sometimes to do that you have to start a conversation.

But Suppose We're Not GREAT Again? / myLot

But Suppose We're Not GREAT Again? / myLot
So what happens if Mr. T doesn't make good on his promise to make America great again? (Scoff!) First of all, how dare you even entertain such a thought? But! ... Since you're thinking on it ... (Sigh.) We make plans. We break promises. In this life, one should always have Plan A and Plan B.

My blogs at - Tumblr? Long story short. My account got deleted. The old blogs were sent to the Tumblr graveyard. The company is being acquired by a new owner. The management and staff is experimenting with placing ads in the blogs, intending to keep the platform free for the users. Meanwhile, I created two new Tumblr blogs at the end of 2016. FoxNet2017 and FoodWays2017. Why? Because they let me do it! Plus! Tumblr is a neat blogging/micro-blogging platform and you are allowed to place affiliate ads to monetize your blog. Just check their "Help" in the dashboard for more details. Why wouldn't I want to try again?

BlogJob stopped their Points Program but I was undaunted. Not only did I keep my blog - My Pain, Your Gain - up and running; but I started a new blog for affiliate marketing purposes: My Shopping Channel. The site owners are OK with members using affiliate referral links. Currently the site owners are experimenting with Google Ads, in the hopes of generating more revenue. Hope these experiments are successful. The platform is good to use but whereas, it used to be a social community where you could sign in and not only go about your blogging business but interact and chat with fellow bloggers, the "socializing" aspect went Bye Bye when the Points Program ended.

Blogger (or Blogspot)? In addition to this blog, at the end of 2016, I set up a foodie blog called Food Ways Presented by Everyday Exotic Spices. A friend of mine and fellow food blogger visited and gave me lots of advice, tips and feedback on how to make the blog look more visually appealing. It looks pretty to me! Also, I am able to use Amazon Native Ads on Blogspot blogs. No surprise. If you can remember way back, the Blogspot platform used to have a feature that allowed the blogger to incorporate relevant links to Amazon products.

As for the online writing communities? My aim was to publish evergreen content (content that is relevant and not restricted to a specific period of time) so that I could set it, forget it, and appreciate whatever residual income is generated by the pages. I revisit from time to time to check for broken links and update any info that may have changed. Here are links to my writer profile at the various sites: Daily Two Cents; Writedge; HUBPages; Wizzley; and Webnuggetz. Most of my revenue is earned via the Google Ad Sense revenue-share plan. Commissions are also being earned from sales of affiliate products. ("Slow but steady wins the race." 😀)

During the year (2016), signed up at two new sites. One is a blogging community: Literacy Base. This site is good because you earn for blogging, for commenting at blogs, for participating in groups and forums, for updating your profile timeline. You even earn for just logging in to your account. Have received payment. This is my most recent post:

Ancient History: Kingdoms : Lydia and Persia

The other site, Niume, is a collaborative blogging platform created to help you promote your blog. In other words, republished content from your blog is accepted. It's also a good place to share your original content. Examples:

The Evolution of Tea; republished content that first appeared at Daily Two Cents.

Stumbled Upon 'The Nostalgia Machine'; original content published only at Niume.

You can not use affiliate links and your earn revenue for referrals and for views. Learn more: How Does Niume Revenue Work.

My referral link if you sign up through me: Join Niume! Where it says "Create a Post", click on it and the sign up form will pop up. You must use a valid eMail address.

Closing off this update with another reminder from another previous post. Remember that Pinterest can also be used as a blogging/micro-blogging platform and affiliate links are allowed.

If you want to earn extra income, hope you find this information useful.

The Book is For All People

The Book is For All People
Believers and non-believers have argued and debated about the facts presented in the Book aka the Bible, for thousands of years. Is it true or is it false? No consensus has ever been reached. But both groups agree that the scriptures are fascinating reading.

How To Decorate Your Blog Sidebar?

How To Decorate Your Blog Sidebar?
There are various templates available for bloggers which can be customized to reflect your "personality". Some templates offer a slide presentation at the top of the blog. Those are great! Never used one. Have tried. But have trouble figuring out which blog posts to showcase.

Nimrod and the 'Gate of God'
If you come from a Judaeo-Christian background, then you might be familiar with the story of Babel because you were probably taught about it as a child. If you are unfamiliar with the biblical account, it tells of the time when everyone on earth all spoke the same language but God confused the languages.

Be My Valentine? Did You Say "My Religion is Love"?

Not your usual Valentine, I know.

But I think it's a perfect valentine.

So who was it that said “My religion is love”? Wasn’t it one of the sons of Bob Marley?

Ooops! Looked it up. My bad. It was the title and song lyrics by Ziggy Marley that said "Love Is My Religion". Close enough!

It was the late Bob Marley himself who said: "Overcome the devils with a thing called love."

I believe in giving credit where credit is due, but they were both just rewording the wisdom of Jesus.

No matter who you want to give the credit to, you would all be hard-pressed to say that it isn't a golden rule to live by!

SIDE NOTE:

~ Born: February 6, 1945, Nine Mile, Jamaica ~ Died: May 11, 1981, Miami, FL. Had he lived to see this day, the legendary reggae artist, Bob Marley would have been 70+ years old. He and his music live on through his children. They make sure of that!

Happy belated birthday, Mr. Marley!

Legends, Myths, Fables, Folklore, Culture on Pinterest

My Pinterest account is a business account, thanks to the graciousness of the company owners. It also includes collections that are not business-related. The boards had been created when the account was a personal account and even though I converted to a business account, I kept the my pinboards.

One of my favorite personal collections is Legends, Myths,Fables, Folklore, Culture.

"Pegasus is one of the best known creatures in Greek mythology. He is a winged divine stallion also known as a horse usually depicted as pure white in color. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa." Wikipedia

If you have some free time, you really should visit and peruse my pins. My collection includes what the usual that Westerners have come to expect when you say the word “mythology”, i.e. winged horses, unicorns and Greco-Roman gods and goddesses.

But there are also pins for anything and everything from Poliahu,the Hawaiian snow goddess TO A List of Poisonous Plants and Herbs and Their Lore.

Collected some information about nymphs. Publishing the post here and will share it via Pinterest. Enjoy!

(P.S. I'm also expanding my collection to Tumblr. See my first reblogged post below.)

The Seven Kings of Rome

The Seven Kings of Rome
There was once a group of villages on seven hills which grew into an empire. But how did it happen? During the reign of Emperor Augustus, the historian Livy (Titus Livius) gathered myths, legends, folklore (possibly adding in facts and information that could be verified or authenticated by others) and wrote down the story of how the Roman Empire came to be.

Pinterest: A Look Back and Now! (2012 - 2015) : Update 2016 : Affiliate Links are Allowed

This post was published here January 13th, 2016.

Pinterest: A Look Back and Now! (2012 - 2015).

Having been active on Pinterest since it began, it has been interesting to watch the social media site evolve and quickly gain a footing right next to the established giants like Facebook and Twitter, and carve out their lion's share.

When this content was published, Pinterest had banned the use of affiliate links.

That was then. This is now.

Here's a great article for work at home mom, written by a work at home dad.

Niume Promises to Help You Promote Your Blog

Post UPDATED January 30th, 2017: UPDATE #1

Niume is a collaborative blogging platform, established in 2014 with the goal of assisting bloggers with blog promotion and monetization efforts.

Have you heard about the newest kid on the block in the wonderful of social blogging communities? (The site was started in 2014 and a site that's 2 years old is still practically brand spanking new! 👶) According to ZDNet, Niume, a new collaborative blogging platform “is taking the web by storm”. The goal of this platform is to help bloggers successfully promote and monetize their blog VERSUS struggling to maintain a stand alone blog which will likely drown in the ocean of over 250 million other blogs that are out there, along with you, trying to swim to the top and stay afloat.

Niume is a content syndication site and the owners actually pay you to syndicate your blog posts at their site. (Read more: mostblogging.com)

Real Wire describes this site as “All the pleasure of blogging but with instant reach”.

Do I have an opinion?
But of course! Published it via Quora.
