Reads from last week. . .

         Well the week didn’t end well for me with my finding out that I had lost my last grandparent. I was trying to figure out how to best remember her. Happily I found away. My heart and mind will keep her memory for all time.

            She introduced me to Snoopy back when Snoopy and Charlie Brown first started about. My first memory of Charlie Brown and Snoopy was/ a stuffed animal that I still have. The first book/s I remember ever having where Charlie Brown’s Super Book of Questions and Answers and Charlie Brown’s Second Super Book of Questions and Answers. As I was looking for links to these two books I found that there are actually several. At the least five, along with others. I can’t speak for any of them but the first two and they are awesome. 

          So before I get into some blogs that I managed to get down, here is a little bit of what I call Snoopy Music:

Reads from Last Week. . .

            Well, I have been having computer problems and not doing the things I’d normally be doing. Then When I finally did get back online, A friend of mine asked me about this post. He knew I’d meant to get it out this morning and was checking to see if I had changed my mind. 

            For those of you new to my new site, and those who have been regulars from the start, “Reads from Last Week” formally known as “Passing the week” is where I bring to you all my reading and searching for information you should have, or some just plain good reads. “Reads from Last Week” is going to be my regular postings of blogs (and their links) that I read and felt a need to pass on to you. Or like I said, just some plain good reads. 

            I meant to do many things this weekend but with the PC down I found I was unable to get it all done. The biggest thing was to get my blog roll up here. My way of making it easier for you to find what you need without having to wait on me to fill you in on Sunday. I will get my blog roll up this week, or so is my plan. So, in that regard, I hope you’ll all be tolerant of my slowness. I will do my best to get it up here, with some new additions.

Passing the week

          Last week I got a few letters complaining that I wrote a post instead of doing my end of the week re-cap. Guess I won’t do that again. 

          This past week has been a bit busy in my office with several new clients and their related issues. I haven’t done a lot of surfing this week but let’s go. . . 

          First, one of my new clients is an inventor and I want to share with you his biz. For those of you who take your biz to clients (or they come to you) this is something you need.

           For years, I have toyed with the idea about going out to clients and this device is pushing my idea along. Please visit USB Swiper .com

         My post History/Origin of piggy banks has gotten great reviews so I wanted to bing up that it is there. 

          In this weeks WHAT’S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT’S A HAPPENNIN’ – post from The Wondering Tax Pro he writes:

” * When I discover a new tax or related blogger one of the first things I do is to check out their various blogrolls to look for more new tax or related blogs. That is how I came across STUFF ACCOUNTANTS LIKE by pfi and the post “Acronyms, What are Your Favorites?”.
I have always been a big user of acronyms. Clients and readers of TWTP are aware that GDE is God Damned Extensions and that the “clean” version of DFB is Damned Fool Bureaucrats.

I checked through the 92 comments to the post for some new ones. Here are some I liked –
CRAP – Conveniently Rationalized Accounting Principles

CPA – Cut and Paste Artist (I always thought CPA stood for Constant Pain in the Arse)
JFDI – Just F**king Do It

SWAG: Scientific Wild Ass Guess

DILLIGAF- Does It Look Like I Give A F**k (I expect I will be using this a lot in the future)

WITTB – What it takes to balance.

I was glad to see others used WTF (2 related meanings – I used it above) and FUBAR.”

 

          This is great, and I can assure all that I’ll be using several of the acronyms from the post. {In my office SNU is a regular occurrence.}

 

            50 Actions You Can Take Right Now to Pay Off Debt is a post from a site I found via my intro to Blog Rank. from Invesp Consulting. ( I wrote about this earlier in the month in my post New Blog ranking). The blog is called Consumerism Commentary: (It is a PF blog.) It is indeed worth the read. While you are there be sure to check out some of the previous post. 

          Here is a list of other great post from my favorite bloggers:

 

Please keep in mind that this list is not an order of favorites, nor is it all-inclusive. I visit a great number of sites/blogs, tax and Personal Finance.

New Blog ranking

            Okay, so this isn’t about taxes. Recently was introduced to a new ranking site and thought I’d let you all know about it. It is really cool. 

            The new ranking service is called Blog Rank. It comes to us courtesy from Invesp Consulting

            It is rather interesting the way things are broken down for us. In a post they describe just how does blog rank determine the ultimate rank calculation, how it works – sorta. Maybe more than I realize, but I found it a bit vague. But what would I know about creating a ranking for blogs, I’m a tax preparer? 

            As I first looked, though it I was amazed by the information it provided. Of course, I was reading more into how I could improve things here at taxguy. 

            Aside from showing and pointing me towards new blogs that go around the taxing world, it pointed me to different areas of rankings. Nope they don’t just show you rankings by the ultimate score. (taxguy is 15th in the ultimate ranking.) 

            The ultimate ranking is comprised of a variety of other rankings:

  • by Feedburner RSS membership
  • by unique monthly visitors
  • by Yahoo indexed pages
  • by Google indexed pages
  • by number of incoming links (via Yahoo)
  • by the ratio of incoming links to numbers of pages
  • by pages per visit
  • by Google PR
  • by Technorati rank
  • by Alexa rank
  • by Compete rank
  • via Social sites

 

          Each shown on the blog type ranking. Oh, no, no, it isn’t just a tax blog ranking, they are ranking all sorts of blogs. Much like Alltop, you pick the type you are interested in, Personal finance, taxes, Money, history, Art, just all sorts of blog types. 

Very cool stuff.

Please go check it out.

 

(Like I say on my Who writes this blog “of course, it will cover whatever may strike me about the Internet.” And I like this ranking site.)
