Get A Goal, Start Blogging

If you having picked up blogging yet, what’s stopping you? Basically I started blogging quite recently only. I just wanted to share my own personal experiences as well as tell others about my beloved cat, Lucy. Sometimes, having a goal to achieve can eradicate any inertia in doing something. For me, it was sharing about my cat and my life with other cat lovers. For you, it might be talking about a hobby or venting your frustrations at something.

Whatever it is, have a goal at the start and then you’ll find it easier to kickstart your blogging days. And don’t worry if you run out of stam along the way. Just take a short break and come back refreshed!

By the way, Blogsessive is having a nice domain giveaway for bloggers who help spread the word on blogging so get over there for all the details.

MyApartmentMaps Review & Contest

MyApartmentMap is an interesting website which uses Google Maps and publicly available apartment listings to create a unique way for people to find apartments. This is a useful resource for anyone who's hunting for an apartment. The layout of the website is simple but easy to navigate. However, quite a few of their features, such as rental price data and reviews are not available yet. Nonetheless, it is a website to look forward to once all the features are up.

And they're having a contest on their blog till the end of May to give away an Amazon gift certificate so go over and take a look.

Check out their homepage here and their contest page here.

Good luck!
