To my Preschool
Education viewers please bear with me as I post about something that couldn’t
be further from Preschool Education. I have been included in a Meme having to
do with Search Engine Optimization which is a passion of mine. I promise, my
wonderful Preschool Education viewers, my next post will be totally for you.

Donna at SEO-Scoop
had started a meme about Feed-worthy
SEO Blogs that she wouldn’t have discovered if it wasn’t
for Sphinn. Sphinn
is a Social Networking site dedicated to SEO, SEM, Social Media, and Technology.
It is quite new…. it came online this summer and it should be coming out
of Beta shortly.

Thanks to Tadeusz
at SEO2.0
for including me on his list of Sphinn
Stars. I was included with others who I admire and it was quite
an honor to be mentioned.

Wow, I had no idea
how difficult this task would be. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled to be on
Tad’s List. It is such an honor to be on the list with so many talented
and well deserving Sphinners. The task is difficult for me because I admire
the entire Community at Sphinn. My reader is chuck-full of
SEO feed-worthy Blogs because of Sphinn, so to narrow it down to three is extremely
difficult.

So, to be able to
narrow my SEO feed-worthy Blogs down to 3 I am adding another criteria to my
meme…. These are the SEO feed-worthy Blogs run by amazing Bloggers that
took a few minutes out of their crazy, busy lives to affect me in one way or
another. There were more than three, but these are the first three that come
to mind:

• Tanner
  – Internet
  Hunger was the first feed that I subscribed to that I discovered
  on Sphinn. I read Tanner’s Blog daily… He is extremely talented
  and I love the way he writes. One of Tanner’s posts was the first of
  my Sphinn posts that went hot. Tanner emailed me right away to thank me for
  it. I was so impressed by this gesture. It reminded me that even though our
  type of business is mostly virtual that manners still apply. I was even included
  on Internet Hunger’s Mover’s
  and Shaker’s of Search Engine Optimization post.

• Patrick
  Sexton – Patrick is brilliant and extremely funny. I discovered
  his Blog, SEOish,
  through Sphinn and was truly, truly impressed. His Hitchhikers
  Guide to Linkless SEO post, that I was honored to Sphinn, is
  my highest rating on sphinn ever. But what touched my heart about Patrick
  was our discussion about the many young children who yearn for more education
  in their life, but struggle to get it. Patrick moved me so much that I donated
  more than 20 of my ABC Home Preschool products to young children in need throughout
  Pennsylvania.

• Todd
  Mintz – Todd Blogs for SEMpdx.
  I discovered Todd pretty quickly at Sphinn. He has tons of knowledge in Domaining
  which I was always fascinated in. He was more than helpful with many questions
  I had about what direction I could go with the Domains I owned…. Should
  I make a website or Park them? He was quick to offer me suggestions and I
  truly appreciated that. Plus, a few days ago Todd asked me if I was willing
  to be Interviewed for a Post he’s doing. (Since I didn’t ask Todd
  if it was Okay to mention it I can’t say anything more at this point).
  I was thrilled to be asked and I have agreed to the Interview.

There are so many
other Sphinn Discoveries that I want to mention, but I’m limited to three.
So, unfortunately, I can’t mention the many others on my mind… such
as, Lyndon,
Chris
Winfield, DoshDosh,
ViperChill,
SearchBuzz,
Tamar,
………………. And of course Danny
Sullivan. For, if it wasn’t for Danny there would be no Sphinn
at all. Thanks, Danny.

Now for the three
Sphinners I mentioned it is now your opportunity to do the same. Share your
Sphinn Love. Who are your SEO feed-worthy Blogs that you discovered through
Sphinn.

The Meme I was tagged
for is [...]]]> Yes, it’s true….
this is my first Meme. I was tagged by Ann of Homeschool
Zoo Annex. Ann is a former homeschooling mom that offers her viewers
tons of information and resources on homeschooling children right up through
High School.

The Meme I was tagged
for is "Five Things You Don’t Know About Me". So, without further
adieu…

• I am
  a Perfectionist to the Extreme.
  I had less than average grades in High School, but when I went to College
  I made a point to do well. For more than two years I had a GPA of 3.94. I
  received my first B during a pop quiz in Anatomy. I quit the University the
  next day.
• I suffer
  from a Chronic Illness.
  I found out within the last 2 weeks (sometime in August) that I suffer from
  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Lupus is a widespread and chronic autoimmune
  disease that, for unknown reasons, causes the immune system to attack the
  body’s own tissue and organs, including the joints, kidneys, heart, lungs,
  brain, blood, or skin. My
  Lupus is attacking my Central Nervous System . This is the
  first time that I am announcing this in my Online Professional World. This
  diagnosis is so fresh that I am in the middle of mourning the Shana I once
  was and the Shana I was looking forward to becoming. With that said, I am
  also determined to be treated no differently than the Shana I was before diagnosis.

Now, it is my turn
to tag 5 people for The Meme – Five Things you Don’t Know about Me.
I am tagging:

• Mandy of Inching
  Along
• Rebekah of Preschool
  Activities Everyday
• Sherry of Chaos
  Theory
• Mike of DevDad.Com
