Dani's Junk Drawer is BACK!

by Daniella Nicole

It's really interesting how things work out sometimes.

I last posted about Spin Blast (featured blog of The Fritch Show) and being the blogger for it. Once that got going, I had an opportunity to have Spin Blast become part of the CBC News network (which it now is!).

In the course of setting up things with CBC, I discovered what the problem was with posting blogs here (same problem there) and was able to fix it.

So, I can now resume my normal blogging here at Dani's Junk Drawer. Yay!

I will be posting teasers for Spin Blast here, but I will also be posting all the things you have come to love about this blog: jobs, rants, free stuff/deals, news, current events, fun stuff and more.

I have several other blogs and some of those will be getting more regular attention now, too.

Thank you for your continuing support and for your patience. I know it can be really frustrating when you like a blog and the updates stop or are really sporadic. Hopefully, things will be more stable and normal now.

Official Announcement, Plus One

by Daniella Nicole


*drum roll please*

Well, it’s official! Yours truly is the official featured blogger for The Fritch Show! The blog is called Spin Blast and the purpose is to blast through the spin; shedding light on the facts. Spin Blast can be found here.

Spin Blast also has a Facebook page here, an Amazon store loaded with all kinds of fun stuff for adults and kids alike and a chat room. The chatroom can be used to leave comments, interact with friends, make new friends and simultaneously post comments to the blog and your own Facebook page.

While at the blog, why not check out The Fritch Show? He is now broadcasting five days a week (Mon-Fri) at 2 to 3 pm ET. If you miss any of the live shows, they are all archived on the website, so they can be enjoyed at any time. Plus, if you are in Florida, you can catch him live on air via 1340 AM Tampa, 1350 AM Clearwater and Dade City, and 1400 Am Zepheryhills.

Second Announcement:

Yes, things just keep getting better and better! *smile*
I also have been given the opportunity to write for a magazine! I’ll update with that information once my first article is ready to publish.

In the meantime, the posts you are generally used to finding here will be over at Spin Blast, so be sure to head on over there and subscribe. I can’t wait to interact with you over at Spin Blast!

BIG News for Daniella Nicole and the Dani's Junk Drawer Blog

by Daniella Nicole

For some reason I have yet to discern, it has become sheer time-consuming torture to get anything posted on this (or any other blogger/blogspot) blog. There was a time when it was a simple process, but now it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r just to get the template page to load, with an ongoing onslaught of messages popping up informing me that the page is 'unresponsive' and asking if I wish to kill it or wait. As much as I would love to 'kill it', since I have already invested a chunk of time in just getting it to load, I choose to 'wait'. and wait. and wait. and wait. You get the idea.

So, I have not been blogging nearly as much as I would like to and have tried several alternatives-none of which have worked out the way I wanted them to.

This brings me to the good stuff.

Today, it was my honor and privilege to be approached by someone with an offer to blog on his site. Its an incredible opportunity and he is a truly talented man in his industry. It is going to be a blast working with him and I am truly honored that he asked me to do this.

So, once it gets set up, I will post the official scoop with links and all here so you can check it out over there. This means that once that blog is up and running the posts you would normally find here will be going there.

That doesn't mean I will never come back and post anything here, but until this becomes less of a mind-numbing, torturous time-drain for making even simple posts, its not a wise use of my time.

So, stay tuned. I'll post the official good news as soon as we are ready to launch.

Thank you for all of the support and feedback you have given me over the years. You ROCK! I hope you enjoy the new blog and its home as much as I know I will.

Dani Hits the Airwaves – Across the Blogs Radio Show

I tuned into one of my favorite bloggers doing a guest appearance over on Blog Talk Radio today, and I even called in! It was suggested that I take my blogging experience to the next level and do a radio show. I write multiple blogs, but the suggestion was made to combine them all into one radio show, rather than try to figure out which one to devote a whole show to, or try to do shows for each.

At first I thought perhaps that would be a little too ‘multiple personality’ as I cover such a variety of topics in my blogs. Then, I thought it would be a good thing as it would allow me to talk about whatever was on my mind or in the news, and it would allow you, my audience to talk about whatever was on your mind or in the news, as well.

I am tossing around a few ideas right now, and if I did this, I would devote a ‘segment’ to each of the topics/areas I cover in my blogs.

I would like to get guests on my show, and one thought is to use many of YOU as my guests. Want your 15 minutes of fame? No need to cyberbully or injure yourself for YouTube – come on the show and share your story, your thoughts, and your expertise! Guests don’t even have to be in my home studio – you can “call in” by phone, Skype, or online. The show would have the ability to take callers, as well, by the same means.

I don’t want the show to get all Jerry Springer, but I do want to share stories that people can relate to or learn from. You can plug your new blog, book, or business, too.

Interested in advertising on such a show? Contact me and we’ll set up a sweet deal for you with my show and Blog Talk Radio.

Musician or indie band? I need theme music for this show, so you can get free exposure (aka advertising) by creating my theme or letting me use something you already have that fits with my show. Alternatively, I may get an ASCAP license or whip up something simple, myself. Contact me with your details and ideas, if you are interested. Please be sure to send me a link to your website/your online music samples.

So, what do you think? If I did this, would you listen or be a guest? I could archive shows so you could listen anytime, and I could put players on my blogs (I think).

Whether in the comment section here or by my contact email, please let me know what you think. There is some work involved in setting something like this up, and I am hesitant to jump into it unless I know it is going to be of interest to you.
