Shiny and Rusty… PAD #1091

Shiny and Rusty... PAD #1091

I choose this photo for The April Challenge because of what I saw between the faucet and the screw. I also like the way the knob looks and it is very detailed.

While this is part of the ‘Estate’ I photographed it also because this will be fixed and replaced very soon as the area where this is located is in the middle of an awesome overhaul. I can’t wait to put up some photos of the new panels that my Dad designed and built based on the old design. Big changes are going on and I can’t wait to see what Dad comes up with. Already some great improvements have occurred. We should have much better fuel efficiency next winter, which is a great thing because oil is insanely high.

The new IZEA Boards

I’ve been a member of the IZEA community since before it was called IZEA. This company constantly innovates and reinvents itself and the resources it has available. Recently the IZEA Boards had a complete overhaul. There are sections for Community, the IZEA sites like Rockstartup, Zookoda and PayPerPost and even a section for Better Blogging.

I haven’t always been a fan of message boards. I’ve seen drama unfold like an afternoon soap opera on message boards. But, I think that you miss out on half of the community aspect of an organization that you are part of if you don’t participate in the message boards a little. For instance, I would not have known that registration for IZEAFest 2008 was open had it not been for someone using the boards and telling me about it. That got my butt in gear to sign up and register for the event.

The message boards are also great places to exchange ideas with other people, connect with friends and help people out. I am excited over the many innovations that have been added to the IZEA boards. If you are at all interested in RockStartup, PAyPerPost, SocialSpark or any of the IZEA properties than it behooves you to visit the boards. Poke around, say hello and get to know the community.
