Martha Stewart is asking bloggers to leave a comment with a link to their blog on this post about how to create a blog.

Okay, I know I began to allude to this in yesterday's post, but I might as well state it for the record.The reason I felt so compelled to start a blog is because I could never find many frugal tips that could be applied to my situation. There are so many great frugal tips out in the world. But what about those of us with severe fatigue? Or other physical limitations?I think of PF blogs much in the

While I was at a book shop, flicking through the five volume set of History of Men's Magazines, the first thing I wondered was, would anyone find these images erotic today? Fifties and sixties porn is amazingly unerotic because it is so artificial, coy and staged, and seventies porn is just, well, too hairy for today's tastes. But I did enjoy thinking about the discussions that the editors must ha

Do you ever get a gift or see something in a store and think, I could do that? That happens to me a lot. But see, I'm pretty lazy and I rarely act on my urge to do things...unless that urge is to sit on my couch and read blogs. I always do that. Anyway,...

I was browsing the Web for something different this time – Martha Stewart flowers and Martha Stewart plants.

I got to visit - really just stand out side of the building -  the studio where Martha Stewart tapes her show and let me tell you I had so excited. I am her biggest fan and I refer to her just as Martha to all of my friends and they know who I am talking about. Now I didn't really get to do much other then take few pictures of me proceeding to the building almost documenting the my steps.

A part of my job at martha stewart plants is to provide site reviews for clients. These range from short overview reports to detailed studies on particular aspects of a site. I recently completed a review for a small ecommerce site called martha stewart flowers and felt that it neatly brought together a number of different issues I had been discussing in this blog. The client has been kind enough to allow me to publish it here so hopefully it will be of some use to others. Please bear in mind that this is only a condensed site overview and does not tackle issues in much depth.SummaryAs with all e-commerce sites there are two key factors that dictate its success or failure. These are the number of visitors that are driven to the site and the number of those visitors who are then converted i

My heart sank a little when I saw Martha Stewart's Book - The Martha Rules.I was killing time waiting to pick up my niece from her guitar lesson. This thirty minute time span, didn't seem worth the gasoline or effort to drive all the way home, to then just turn right back around to go pick her up.Well right up the street from the music shop was a Dollar Tree store.That is where I saw Martha's book - The Martha Rules.At The Dollar Tree on sale for a buck!Oh my - I felt a little pang in my heart for Martha...(It just seems like it would hurt, to see something you've created - end up for sale at The Dollar Tree).But this really is quite a good lesson, in perseverance.From what I can tell - she hasn't let this "not quite so successful venture" slow her down.

To All Our Family and Friends: Just a note to let you know we are hoping to see you Thanksgiving Day. But….Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I’m telling you in advance, so don’t act surprised.Since Ms. Stewart won’t be coming, I’ve made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. Once inside, our guests will note that the entry hall is not decorated with the swags of Indian corn and fall foliage I had planned to make. Instead, I’ve gotten the kids involved in the decorating by having them track in colorful autumn leaves from the front yard. The mud was their idea. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy china, or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refra

Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days.However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of goodmoney.3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as theytend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste offinger foods.* * *DINING OUT:1.

I love it how Tim Gunn is beginning to become a household name. Even my mother, who doesn’t get Bravo (I know, it’s soooooo sad), knows the name Tim Gunn. Recently, Tim was part of a Martha Stewart commercial, which pokes fun of fashion (in a good-humored way). Check it out! Tim Gunn, commercials, Project Runway, Martha Stewart

My sister is Queen Of The Crafties. She owns her own business, selling hand-made baby items, and her house is always stocked with stuff like pipe cleaners, glue and glitter. I shouldn’t have been surprised, then, that my little sister came on our joint summer vacation laden with bags of craft supplies. My niece and nephew regularly spend time crafting at home, and they expected to be able to do

Martha Stewart no es precisamente un ícono para nosostros los geeks... ni para los fashionistas. Sin embargo ella se une al furor por los gadgets que ha levantado el Wii de Nintendo en los mortales enseñándonos en la edición de Agosto de la revista Wired cómo hornear un pastel con forma de dicha consola. Bueno, ella es la reina de los "home appliances" y el Wii últimamente se está volviendo básico en cada hogar.Por cierto, no cabe duda que el PhotoShop es una maravilla.

Did you see "Little Miss Sunshine"? If you did, you probably fell in love with little Olive (Abigail Breslin). You also probably remember that scene in the restaurant where Olive's father (played by Greg Kinnear) makes some really disturbing comments about how she shouldn't have ice cream because it will make her fat. I really hated him for saying that!Well, it appears there is a real-life person who DID say that kind of things to Abigail Breslin: it's Martha Stewart. The lovely little star was invited to Martha's show, where they baked cookies and made ice cream floats. In the middle of baking, Martha turned to the 11-year-old actress and told her that she's "pleasantly plump" and then later asked her if she'd eaten too many "cheeseburgers on the road".Martha Stewart, how the hell can you say such things to a little girl? And then they wonder what's with all the anorexic young girls. It's comments like yours who trigger eating disorders, you idiot!There's still no video for t

Yesterday, Martha Stewart went mano-a-mano with shock jock, Howard Stern. And it was a good thing. So it's official. Martha Stewart is a badass. Earlier this morning, the Queen of Domesticity was interviewed by King of Shock Jocks Howard Stern on his satellite radio show to commemorate their one-year anniversary at Sirius. For a woman who has her own line of linens and a guy who could own a porn empire, one would have surely expected a conversation between the two to be, um, a recipe for disaster. But Stewart was game. Yes, there were some mildly awkward moments -- no matter what, we do not, I repeat, we do not want to hear about Thumper, Lady Martha's sex toy -- but it's a rare and cool occurrence that a woman of her caliber could roll with Stern's trademark punches without being offended or emotional, and at times, even give him a taste of his own medicine.The best moments came when Stern asked questions that would make most people wriggle, Michael Richards-style, in their se
