A Local Myspace
The problem with a large social networking site like Myspace is that there are millions of users on there, and it’s often difficult to connect with people from your specific community. Even if you do manage this, you still have to deal with all of these other voices on your radar, and you have to compete with people all over the world when you want to share your local photos and videos. People from your own part of the country may never even find your content.
The Indiana State Fairgrounds
I think a lot of people forget that there are events going on at the Indiana State Fairgrounds all year long, not just during the state fair. Whenever I’m looking for something cheap or free to do on the weekend, one of the places I check is the event calendar on the State Fairground’s website.
College Scholarships
One of my nieces is getting ready to apply for college, so she’s looking into scholarships and asked my advice, hoping I knew of some websites she could check out. While there are plenty of scholarship resources online, I gave her the same advice I would give any other high school senior: talk to your guidance counselor first. High school guidance counselors have a wealth of information at their disposal regarding college scholarships and financial aid, plus they should also be able to give you some advice on filling out forms and applying for said scholarships. However, with thousands of potential scholarship opportunities out there, no one person can ever be aware of all of them. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of links for college-bound seniors looking for a little financial aid.
Blog Indiana 2008
I just stumbled upon a campaign at The Point from a group of Hoosiers that want to start an Indiana blogging conference. I think it’s a great idea, and I’m sure there are enough Hoosier bloggers in the state that would attend if one were to happen. They just need to get the word out, so I thought I’d do my part and throw another link out there to their website.
