A Random Assortment of 4

I got tagged by Elizabeth at Table for Five for the Fuel My Blog Random Four meme. She did a really nice entry for the XShot contest but it wasn’t submitted in time for the contest. But I liked the photo very much and wanted to give her credit for participation. Here is the photo.

Elizabeth's XShot contest Entry

These are Elizabeth’s questions for me:

Questions:
1. If you were meeting someone for the first time, what would you hope they are not wearing?
2. Approximately, how many things are you allergic to?
3. What is your favorite fruit?
4. Of the people you know, who has a quality that you are most envious of? What is that quality?

Participants:
1. Answer the questions honestly on your own blog.
2. Randomly select 4 blogs from fuelmyblog but not from the homepage.
3. Leave a comment, “I tagged you” with a link to your post on each blog.
5. Ask them 4 random questions or copy mine!

Who I’m tagging:
1. Greg at Cosmic Photo Art
2. Christopher at Photographer’s Journey
3. Robin at The Road Less Unraveled
4. Gina at Brain Fizzles

My Answers:
1. If I was meeting someone for the first time I would hope that they were not wearing surgical gloves. I’m not sure I want to get that personal in the first meeting.
2. I am allergy free, none whatsoever.
3. Strawberries are my favorite fruit.
4. I am most envious of my friend Ken’s ability to talk to anyone anywhere anytime. That would be handy in my line of work.

Here are my questions for the people I tagged.
1. What is coolest thing that has happened to you because of your blog?
2. If you could be any movie Character who would you be? Why?
3. What is your favorite book?
4. If you could have a superpower what would it be? Why?

And in case you were not aware of it, Fuel My Blog is a giant blog directory where people can view your blog and then “fuel” it, meaning give it a vote if they like it. It helps with traffic and it’s fun. Each of the people I tagged got a FMB thumbs up from me. And you can fuel people every day.

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes….

I’ve made some changes to this blog so that it loads quicker. I am hoping that is what I accomplished. I have received many messages about the speed of the load of this blog. So I took off many of the little buttons that were on the sidebars and put them on my links page. I need to now clean up the Links page. I also moved MyBlogLog, BlogCatalog and SpicyPage to the footer. So this should allow the content to load quicker. Also I am making it so that the image loads and when you click More you get to read my ramblings as well as see any bonus images. I also limited the number of entries on the front page to 5. Hopefully this has made things load faster. Also I think it might look right in Internet Explorer now. Please leave me feedback on the changes. I would like to know what you think.
