Check it out at Affiliate Summit’s blog.

I am so bored with my website.  I know I am stuck here with the basic wordpress theme.  I know that it needs an update.  I have tried changing it once or twice but lost my sidebars, so I went back to the generic wordpress theme until I could research and get it all figured out.

A really good friend of mine sent me some good links and I am going to take a look at them, and see if I can get a new look to my site soon. 

If I learn even one new thing a day I will be so much further ahead next year at this time. 

Here are the links my friend from 1and1.com sent me (Thanks Jesse@1and1.com):

Getting ready for an upcoming family reunion.  Guess who is in charge of the slide show and decorations?  Me of course, but that is okay, because I am finding some really cool negatives, that may have been tossed in the trash one of these days by some decendent that didn’t want to mess with them.  After my Grandmother passed away, they cleaned out her house put all pictures and negatives in a plastic container in my Mother’s closet.  Probably never to be looked at again until NOW !!

I decided to see what would happen if I took a negative, and scanned it and then used the negative tool on the photo program, and guess what? Two negatives make a Positive !!! Some really interesting pictures.  I can’t wait to create a very cool slide show with pictures people probably forgot or never knew existed. 

Here are just a few:

Are they taking a Potty Break? 

 Guy in a Truck

Camping with Prof Weatherby (I Think !)

I think this is really cool.  I enjoy finding these old pictures.  I have so many more and am really excited about asking my Mom and Dad who some of these people in these pictures may be…..  ; )

I attended Affiliate Summit West 2008, in Las Vegas

I learned so much.  I attended many seminars and social events.

I met many people face to face, whom I have contacted previously online.

This included Amy Rodriguez, Carolyn Tang, Kim Rowley, Mark Wielgus.

I saw people I recognized from the industry, but didn’t get a chance to visit with them.

Joel Comm, Jim Kukral, Sam Harrelson, just to name a few

I also got to say hi to my favorite affiliate managers, Jesse Bouman (1and1.com)

and Rickey Moreland Join Match.com

It was just an awesome event, and I will be blogging about the many seminars as

soon as I sort out my notes and thoughts. 

I am going to Las Vegas February 23rd - 27th to the Affiliate Summit, and I am so excited. 

I have so much to learn, and the people associated with the Affiliate Summit are some of the most helpful people I have come across.

I am not planning on leaving anything in Las Vegas.  I know when I go, I will be bringing back knowledge, new friends, and lots of creative ideas. 

I appreciate Shawn Collins, Missy Ward, Amy Rodriguez, and everyone else I have met through Affiliate Summit. 

I will be letting you know all the exciting details about my Las Vegas experience.  

Once again I was the first entry to win a full conference pass to the Affiliate Summit.  The Affiliate Summit West will be held in Las Vegas,  February 24-26, 2008.

To win this free pass all I had to do was submit a video that told why I wanted to attend the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas. 

Do you ever get lost in all the information that is out there about affiliate marketing?

When I start  finding a lot of really interesting websites, blogs, and other information on Affiliate Marketing, I lose focus on any of them and go back and forth and really never get anything accomplished.

I think I have a case of ADD, plus I am the worlds worst organizer. It isn’t that I am not able to learn each and every bit of information out there. It is like I am a kid in a candy store. I can’t decide which one to chose but I want to test each one of them. They all look del.icio.us. !!! If I could just Stumble upon one that could be myspace there might be a flicker of hope. For the moment Bumpzee is my favorite (the bright green color really makes me in a happy mood, it is so fun).

I should start from step one and try to figure out some of this terminology and what it actually means. Java makes me think of coffee; sql brings a picture of a squirrel to my mind; php makes me think I am tired likes phoooped out; ftp makes me think of sending flowers; asp isn’t that a snake? Blog sounds like something you might get stuck in. Isn’t Tagging a game we all played in elementary school. Blogroll could be a bakery item.

I am a visual person. I put a picture to everything.  That is how I studied for test in school. I put a visual image to each question and answer. All these visuals mixed in with all these new terms, just start going round and round in my crazy mind.

My question is…Can a person who is somewhat ADD, very visual, and terribly unorganized, actually ever make sense of any of this?    HELP !!!!!

I know I can do it. I am determined to do it, but if my brain short circuits. You might get me confused with a ditzy blonde. Well maybe I am a ditzy blonde. But I am capable of learning. I promise, all of this (no matter how long it takes me to learn) has to be more interesting and fun than keeping up with documentation on loan files (my previous job for over 17 years). Now that is a hard job to put visuals to. It is hard to get visually creative when the word compliance is involved !

You only live once.  Enjoy what you do. That is what I plan on doing.  As soon as I figure out this puzzle called affiliate marketing, I want to learn photoshop, illustrator, and all that other creative stuff.  I was born to create, and speak my mind.
