York Daily Photo

Hearing about life in a place is one thing, seeing it is quite another. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, and this photo blog shows life in York, North Yorkshire, UK in ways no words ever could.

York Daily Photo - Why You Should Go

One of the gifts of blogging, one we continue to celebrate here at Digg It, is that it can take you around the world and back in a matter of minutes. And while we so enjoy reading about living in faraway places, we love to see them, too. So it is with great appreciation that we enjoy blogs like Ruby’s York Daily Photo, completing the vision.

The blog itself is as you would expect, a photo journal of life in and around York, and also of places along Ruby’s travels. Ruby is keen to describe a bit about the pics, too, and share just enough to construct a quick, easy, enjoyable post and read to accompany her impressive photos.

Summing Up York Daily Photo

The foundation is simple, the photos are wonderful, the company friendly and informative. There’s not a lot else to ask from a blog, but this blog delivers it all. Stop by for the scenery and stay for a short chat.

Eye On DNA

Ever since the DNA code was unraveled the building block of life has been on the forefront of news and discoveries. It seems every day there is more to know and new applications and implications that stem from our new-found knowledge of DNA. It’s all very exciting, but also confusing for the average person.

Enter Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei. Her blog, Eye on DNA, is dedicated to decoding this exciting field and walking you through just how all the applications—large and small—may come to bear on your life.

Eye On DNA - Why You Should Go

The subject is a passion of Dr. Lei, who is backed with all the credentials and credits to be a true authority on it. She brings this authority to her blog, where it has been married with another passion of hers—blogging and social media (you can read about her extensive social media credits on her About page, too). She describes her passions and her blog in this way:

“I’m passionate about social media and the potential it has to empower people to take charge of their personal health. The Internet and genome technology combined are going to change our lives in ways we can’t even begin to imagine. Medicine in the genome era will touch all of our lives and I’m here to document its progress.
DNA is our past, present, and future. We need to seize it, examine it, and know its power to make it work for us. How will it change your life?”

Summing Up Eye On DNA

DNA discoveries and knowledge will change your life in many ways, ways in which you’ve previously not even been aware. Learn more about the forms those changes may take, and learn how you can use them to take more control over your future and health, courtesy of Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei.

Arduous Blog

The name of the blog describes a lot; the writer says it’s in part a description given her by her father (all in love, of course), and is also representative of how a fourth grader feels about spelling the word. Naturally, it can also be taken as a description of life in general, which is what this blog is in essence—a description of life in general, that is.

Arduous Blog - Why You Should Go

Whether the life described is considered arduous or not probably depends largely on the day. It might be that this life was made a little more so when one day, this “20-something woman with a taste for high-end kitchen supplies she never used and a serious purse addiction…decided to quit buying anything new.” That must have proved a challenge indeed, but with at least 9 months experience behind her, I’d daresay she found a way to overcome the difficulty of the transition.

Summing Up Arduous Blog

Arduous’ blog is somewhat random, as life and personal blogs can be, but everything that is discussed is done with a touch of humor and more than a little thought and insight behind it; a visit to this blog just might job a little thoughtful consideration of your own.

Go here to check out Arduous blog.

This Eclectic Life

Technically Shelly Kneupper Tucker’s blog is a personal blog, but when you are a professional storyteller, very little of your personal life escapes the eyes of your profession; and so it is that This Eclectic Life is an eclectic mix of storytelling life [in Texas], and curiosities.

This Eclectic Life - Why You Should Go

Blogging was Shelly Kneupper Tucker’s answer to an addiction to online Mahjongg. But like so many addictions, blogging simply became her new addiction—but one that so seamlessly fit into her storytelling life. It’s a blog that gives Shelly pause to quench (temporarily) her inquisitive nature, and extend her storytelling gift to the world. If you are wondering still what the blog is about, Shelly would only have this to say:

“So do I…

It is simply a collage of topics that intrigue me. Scroll through the articles and you will see that nearly everything does. I’m curious about anything and everything, and think the rest of the world should be inquisitive also.”

Summing Up This Eclectic Life

With [unnecessary] apologies for her sassy Texan nature, Shelly entertains and delights with her enthusiastic takes on life. Stop on by and ask her to Spin Me A Yarn. And just try not to catch Shelly’s infectious nature.

Where to Find Shrink Rap:
Blog URL: http://robinaltman.wordpress.com/
Category: Parenting, Personal Blogs, Humor

Shrink Rap

Shrink Rap is not the blog you would expect from a child psychiatrist, but then again when you consider the claims to fame of Robin Altman, MD include a love of shoes, a sideline as a stand-up comedian and a book titled Shrink Rap - An Irreverent Take on Child Psychiatry, you can expect her blog to be something a little out of the ordinary.

Shrink Rap - Why You Should Go

Robin Altman’s Shrink Rap blog is a bit outside the realm of ordinary. And that is exactly what makes it so endearing. The blog is a mix of friendly and funny child-rearing advice, stories from her own household (which you will surely find refreshingly familiar), and general observations on life. Humorous posts (which most all of them are) show Robin to be an approachable professional and human being, one who you’ll be glad to share tales from parenthood with and, quite probably, find in her a kindred and understanding spirit.

Summing Up Shrink Rap

Shrink Rap shows that there certainly is a caring, human side to the professional sector. Join Robin for some laughs and maybe a touch of the Wisdom of the Ages (do be sure to see the Wisdom Addendum, too).

Go here to check out Shrink Rap.

Category: Humor, Personal Blogs

The Daily Blonde

The Daily Blonde is the work of Cheryl Phillips, a single mother of five with a quick wit—and she’s not afraid to use it. She’s a woman with convictions and a fearless sense of humor, offering up her opinions and commentary to brighten your day and support her causes of choice as she vents about politics (less the issues—more the players), Pepsi, and life in general.

The Daily Blonde - Why You Should Go

Cheryl describes herself as a woman with “lots to say, a big sense of humor, and low tolerance for people who don’t know how to laugh! I’m far from a feminist. I can’t imagine even getting along with Gloria Steinem. I live life without a filter on my mouth. I say it like it is but never with the intent to hurt…just to share a laugh about this crazy thing called life!” In this spirit she takes on anything that strikes her interest, mostly for amusement’s sake except for when it counts. When does it count for The Daily Blonde? When the issues are worth caring about—issues like children and family and breast cancer awareness.

Summing Up The Daily Blonde

Cheryl Phillips brings a refreshingly open and honest voice to her blog. She means no harm and does no harm while delivering lots of quirky laughs. Join Cheryl for some ditzy (her word choice, not mine) humor and learn to take a less serious lease on life.

Blogger Dad

We’ve heard a lot about the many talented Mom bloggers out there this week, but now we hear about the other side—lest we forget that Dads are bloggers, too.

Blogger Dad is just a regular guy in love with his child who takes us along through his foray into parenthood through his blog. He shares much of what you might expect to find in a parenting blog—stories about his son, musings on parenting and life, embarrassing stories the likes of which any parent can relate to, and great links to more resources of interest to the larger audience.

Blogger Dad - Why You Should Go

So often parenting is heard from the perspective of the mother; but obviously Dads have a big stake in the game and play an eminently important role in the lives of children, both young and old; and so it is good that we have resources like Blogger Dad so that we can learn and appreciate parenting from the Father’s perspective, but also because fathers are extremely valuable parenting information resources, too. Any experienced voice is a value to both mothers and fathers to learn from as we strive to find others to identify with and to learn effective parenting skills from.

Blogger Dad brings to his blogging a very down-to-earth appeal, and approaches his topics with humor and insight. As mentioned blog posts on Blogger Dad span a range of topics, and include among them interviews with other parent bloggers in an effort to meet the “artists behind the art.”

Summing Up Blogger Dad

Blogger Dad is just the right balance of perspective from the other side. It’s all parenting all around, with, as the tagline says, “a little humor, a lot of heart.”

Go here to check out Blogger Dad.

Rock Your Day

No, not that Dave Navarro, sorry. No less inspiring nonetheless!

This Dave Navarro happens to be a life coach and expert in turning your successful life up a notch. He’s not your regular kind of rock star, but the kind that “sweats behind the scenes rather than on stage, kicking successful people’s asses so that they become even more successful. I’m a personal productivity coach who gets deep into the minds of people who have everything going for them but are hitting some speedbumps and roadblocks - and I pull no punches until they break past the limiting beliefs that are holding them back.”

So when you know you have what it takes, but just have a hard time connecting the dots, or suspect you have it, but need someone to kick you in the backside to confirm your suspicions, Dave could be the missing link that can take you the extra step of the way.

Rock Your Day - Why You Should Go

Dave Navarro has made an art of being productive. His blog is where he puts that art on display. He writes actionable posts dealing with the big productivity busters like time management, work/life balance, becoming an early-riser and loving it, and how to add hours to your day. His is a blog that is stirring some controversy over which laws do and do not work, so there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in opposition to some of what he says, but it is also a blog that offers plenty of progress-inspiring action well-suited to conjunction with the laws that you hold as truths.

Summing Up Rock Your Day

Rock Your Day is full of many things, and leading the pack is a spirit of enthusiasm, energy, kicking attitude, and a tinge of humor. Just reading Dave, whether you agree in total or not, is enough to fire you up to want to do more.

Go here to check Rock Your Day.
