Vlog #3 : What Are We Doing Here? | Solivagus of PWG

Hey All - It's Solivagus (Drew De Jesus) here, your friendly admin floater who just goes around doing stuff.  I noticed this question posed on facebook "What is this group for" or some such.  Don't quote me.  Even though there are quotes.

In any case I took it upon my (pretty) self to put my (beautiful) face on a video and explain to you guys the difference between this place and TOS (the other site).  I don't wanna point fingers (bubblews) but sometimes it's hard to avoid naming (bubblews) names when it comes down it.

There's a difference between what we're doing here.  And I hope that this video explains it well.

Thank you for watching and continuing to be the most impressive upstart blog I've seen in a long time.  It's not long until we all stop posting introductory posts and start getting the hang of it all - providing a steady stream of content to the masses, who YEARN for knowledge!

I have also seen some worry about whether or not involvement here will result in your being abolished from the pay system of bubblews.  IF that were the case...

Let's say it was true... that they are going to black mark us all... worst case scenario is realized...

well...

Is that really the kind of organization you want to belong to?  Not I, said the fly to the spider.

Chew on it,
Drew De Jesus

FreeDigitalPicutres : Beautifully Colored Bush Leaves

 Hey PWG

The latest update to my freedigitalpictures blog has five photos of these really beautiful leaves I saw outside my house.  It was nighttime so I had a hard time getting the light and focus to cooperate but I don't think anyone's going to use these anyway.

http://freedigitalpictures.blogspot.com/2014/02/very-colorful-leaves-wide-focus.html

If you are like me and you gather up as many amazing nature shots as you can to put into a folder and cycle on your desktop backgrounds, then these make great backgrounds, trust me.  And there's even a vertical shot that looks amazing on my iphone background.

I hope you guys are enjoying using PWG, or at least figuring out how to.

I think tomorrow I am going to write up a how to guide unless Eden beats me to it. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an adorable dog that is requiring my complete attention.

Oh by the way, I went back and checked some of my old posts and they were under the 150 word limit.  So I had to add more content to those posts.  I don't mind sort of 'soft-moderating' the forums to poke people into adding tags to their posts and stuff like that...

But people, really, stop using + in your tags, this isn't bubblews.  lol.

aren't i beautiful?

Solivagus on Bubblews : 2/15/14

My Bubblews Posts for the Day

by solivagus

i'm giving you wood

1. The Start of Day 26 | Nightmares

    Concerning the horrible dream I had prior to waking last night, and an open letter to the ex-boyfriends who were in it.  BOTH of them, for some reason.

2. Where's Solivagus? REN FEST! 

    Concerning how excited I was to get up and out of bed and go to Ren Fest, which as You can see from future postings... didn't go as planned.

3. Review of PicLab App from iTunes Store 

   Not much to this one, it's a review for a fun app.  If you have trouble finding things to use as images for your posts, and you don't want to use something from my blog, this is a good app.

 

4. Sweeten Healthy Eating with Honey and Cinnamon

    Self explanatory but goes into examples of why you should and how I use them.

5. Why do you scare yourself at night?

    You ever wonder?  Well wonder no more, this comprehensive answer will encourage you to put the monster thoughts away.

6. Update on the RenFest Thing.

    When buyer's remorse settles in, what do you do to cope?

7.  Straight People are a Disgrace to Marriage

    I started watching Bridezillas, and that was my first mistake...

8. I Listen to the Music of the Spheres

    This phrase represents the 'inaudible music which is celestial in origin'.  If that's not confusing enough.

9. I'm on YouTube Now!

    And the best part is, I'm clothed.  At least that's what Spartanmom says LOL

10.  A silly song review about Gwen Guthrie

    She sang this amazing song about being a straight up hooker and I applaud her for that.  And I hope one day I can be that proud of being a hooker.

I hope you enjoy my articles, but more importantly, I hope you fricken read them and like them and comment on them, duh.

Solivagus,

Drew

Solivagus makes his YouTube Debut!

I've been a busy beaver!

Between starting about five blogs and a youtube channel, it seems like I haven't been doing anything but 'setting up' for a long time LOL.

But I know that everything I do is another step that will never need to be done again and I am enjoying being my own boss and still having the motivation to get everything done.

I have noticed a few of you shared my posts, that was awesome, and I mean from my personal blog!  Make sure you put up a post of your personal blog or get it on Eden's list so I can follow it, right now I'm following about four and I can stand to follow more, easily.

Here's a video introduction I made of myself on my new youtube channel:

 

Whattya think?  I'm gorgeously retarded at speaking, aren't I?  Sorry, I didn't mean retarded in a derogatory sense, I really mean don't I seem mentally challenged?

Lol, I think I was just shy and surprised that I was doing this!  But in order to be a success these days you have to be willing to put EVERYTHING out there.  And that's something I have no issue with as of late!

solivagus,

What Sort of Images Would You Use?

Aside from messing up the permalink on my new blog entry, I've also provided another high quality image for you guys to use however you want.  I think this one is really going to have a lot of uses, I could see it being used for generic photos in picture frames, as a nice pattern for a design.  i especially see it as useful for like, gardeners or landscapers to show off what they can do with a little bit of elbow grease.

http://freedigitalpictures.blogspot.com/2014/02/lanscaping.html

The best part is, this is right outside my house, lol.  It's next to my patio, as the post says.

Would you guys mind giving me a little direction as to what sort of images would be useful for you guys to use?  I have lots of pictures of plants and my dog so far.  Maybe things around the house?

High Quality and FREE Digital Images, by ME

Free High Quality Images

...never worry about copyrights again...

by drew de jesus

--

Many sites like bubblews have super restrictive policies when it comes to photo crediting.  Not to mention, most of the image storing sites display them on search engines without any information regarding the legalities!  

Sometimes people can think they're crediting a photo properly when in actuality that photo was stolen from somewhere else entirely.  If the true owner of the picture comes across an improperly sourced image, it can really lead to trouble!

That is why I want to provide high quality digital images for FREE, 100%, for anyone to use in ANY endeavor.  If they're making money with my pictures, then good for them!  That's what I say!

I have literally just begun to build a collection, any so far there is a grand total of ONE image up there!  But it's pretty!  It's a lovely pink rose that would go well with a personalized Valentine's Day message. 

http://freedigitalpictures.blogspot.com/2014/02/rose.html 

See the image above and be sure to follow that blog for more images all the time!  If you have a request, let me know and I will be sure to fill it!

Solivagus,

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself!

Solivagus has Entered the Building.

Don't be afraid, far worse things have happened.  But let it be known that my presence here shall be the penultimate of my artistic expression.  I read in the introduction post here that there is no restriction on what we may post about and I plan on taking full advantage of that fact!  Sometimes other sites can make me feel so stifled that it becomes a job in and of itself not to allow the pressure to feel like another job!  And I didn't become a work from home writer so that I could feel like I have a job!  No ma'am.

So!  Who am I?  My name is Drew De Jesus, I am a writer, actor, entertainer, dog lover, Aries, and I'm a hip old granny who can hip hop bebop and yo ho make a wicked cup of cocoa.  I have my own blog on blogger here that I just started, I won't promote it until there's content.  What I plan to provide there, and maybe even here, will be creative commons photographs that I'll take and that you'll be allowed to use on any post you'd like wherever.  

I think providing free blogging content for creative individuals is a wonderful way to assist one another in socking it to the corporate hounds which sniff at our heels and try to make money off of us.  Uh uh, pay us.  That's how it works.

In any case, I'm 28 for now with a 29th birthday coming up in April, and I look forward to connecting with all of you.  Well, most of you.  Wink.

By the way, all my permalinks will be /solivagus#.html, where # represents the number post of that day.  

For example, this post will be preferredwriters.blogspot.com/2014/02/solivagus1.html - this way it will be easy for people to sort through my posts in order.

Solivagus,
Drew De Jesus
