Back in April, I introduced you to my iPod Touch.
I’m still in love with my Touch. However, one of the things I mentioned in my original post was that I couldn’t combine my digital calendars without doing double entries (one on my PC computer and one on my Touch).
A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the fact that the Touch iCal program will sync with Google Calendar. Hmmm… I didn’t use Google Calendar, but if there was a way to sync Google with my laptop’s Mozilla Lightning, I’d be in business!
I’m sure you’ve already guessed already … there is a way!!!! Yay! My life is in perfect harmony now. Well, not really, but it sure feels like it.
First, I have to mention that there is no need to download additional applications to the Touch in order to use this feature. A lot of posts

Ron Edmondson wrote a post yesterday titled “How do you calendar your life?” He observed a friend organizing his schedule with a regular paper calendar, and Ron was somewhat surprised. Paper?!? This is the digital age.
Ron then asked, “What do you use to keep track of your life? How do you stay organized?”
Up until 2 months ago, I was a paper calendar person for the most part. I wrote daily items on my 8-1/2×11 spiral bound paper calendar, and I recorded certain items in my Mozilla Lightning calendar on my laptop. I also had a mini calendar I carried in my purse just in case. That system worked fairly well.
Notice I said, “Up until 2 months ago…” That’s when I got my iPod Touch. Bye-bye multiple paper calendars; helloooo slim, sleek digital calendar.
All of my appointments, scheduled book reviews, deadlines, birthdays, and anything else I can think of are recorded on my iPod Touch. It

Today, I’d thought I share a few of the little treasures in bloggy world that I’ve found recently via Entrecard…
Daisy the Curly Cat – These often humorous, daily posts feature photo sessions of Daisy and Harley, both cats. Almost every day I get a giggle out of the silliness. My favorite so far has been the Groundhog Day joke and Daisy laughing at the end.
Golden Prague – This blog is all about living in the city of Prague. Personally, I love reading this blog because my maternal grandfather grew up in Dubrava, Slovakia. (It was Czechoslovakia then.) And while my maternal grandmother was born in the USA, her parents both came from that region too.
Life from My Laptop – I love Alyssa’s tagline: “Juggling my life. Relying on my faith.” Alyssa found me on Twitter awhile ago, but I’ve only recently started reading her blog. She’s an aspiring writer who is doing quite well in

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about Entrecard, a blog traffic generator. After about 6 weeks or so of use, I still enjoy Entrecard. I’ve found a lot of great blogs that I enjoy reading each day. Some give me a chuckle, and others give me something to think about.
A common practice with Entrecard users is to post their “top droppers” at the end of the month. These are the people that visited my site the most and, hence, earn the title “top dropper.”
So without further ado…
By the way, now that I’ve participated in Entrecard for a full month, I checked my traffic numbers. I compared January to November. I know I’ve done a couple of other things besides Entrecard to gain traffic, but my increase was 79%!!!!!!!
And in case you’re wondering, my traffic increased 30% from December to January. I started Entrecard midway through December, so that’s why I went back
