BDB6: How to survive a writers’ block
By maurizio | August 22, 2007
Today I have no idea on what to write so I’ll take out my Blog Drive Bys.
The first goes to BlogDriveBys, my Blogger experiment. I tend to put a lot of movies there but it’s not a rule. I suggest you to go and see the “Funny Terrorist” video..
Next site I suggest you fellow bloggers to visit is the Pingdoom Tools. This tool allow you to see how fast is your site and where are bottlenecks. I tried with Paula’s blog and I suggest Paula to remove some stuff from it because it’s too slow. Actually I knew that before, but I wanted to have some hard fact to show her :-)
Last site is Kiva.org. Kiva act as a connection between us and companies that lends money to the poor. Do you know those small companies that lends money in 3rd world countries (and not only there) ? The usually lends what for us is (almost) pocket change, just to help people to get a better life.
They even have banners that you can add to your pages like this one:
The process is simple; you give Kiva the money, they’ll give to the entrepreneur and you’ll get monthly report about them.
Right now you don’t get interest on the money you loan, but they are planning to do it in the future. I don’t think most of the people are really concerned about that anyway..
If you are making a lot of money with your blog, consider lending some of it. You’ll get back some good story to tell on your blog!

Thank you so much, Maurizio.
It’s funny, right now Pingdoom Tools is saying my blog loads in 1 second — probably because Blogger is down right now!
I hope they go back up soon. Those techies work hard and Blogger rarely goes down.
God bless ‘em all,
Paula

I hope you’ll write about Kiva..they deserve that.
Btw, why you write all in Bold? And why I can’t see your Avatar?
