The best of Helium.com January through July 2010 (plus updates on November-December 2010)
I am so glad to be back here with the WordPress snowfall…lol I haven’t really posted on here in quite some time but now that I’ve come back, the return of the snowfall effect makes things just the way they looked when I was really regularly posting.
Not only have I not been on here for a while but I’ve also been sporadic on other sites, such as on my Helium.
Yet, I have written many articles still and have received excellent ratings, as usual…just not on a consistent flow. I’ve still been doing a bit of blogging on other blogs and a bit of tweeting and other writing. Even bigger news, I’ve been working on my plans for my dream come true, Harmony’s Way. Learn about it at that link and this link.
Let’s start with the updates about November and December 2009 Helium articles I’ve posted about.
First, Songs: What I Know is now 1/58 instead of just 1/55. That always makes me happy lol
Second, here’s an excerpt of something I posted before; I will update that post in itself as well as in this post, right below this:
Visions
Rated 1/10, this poem was called “Just Vision” before it got to helium.com . I think I may change it to the “Vision” title instead of “Visions” because of the fact that I’ve since realized that my original title was “Just Vision.” Yet, I am glad that, at least, being in the “Visions” title should mean that it can be read by people who are having supernatural issues, seeing things. Maybe now, they can see something better!! I may write a poem that’d fit into “Visions” and leapfrog this and then, put this in “Vision.” I’ll let you know and update with any new links.
Here’s my “revision”:
In April, I did change it to Vision and added another poem in place of it, called Visions…if you click that former link, you will find that entirely different poem. The poem I’d posted about is now here. Presently rated 2/36, I’d say things are where they belong!
How to upload a photograph to Photobucket.com
In January, because I desired to write in some different “channels” since I know I have knowledge in a lot of subjects, I branched out into Computers & Technology: Internet and wrote this article. This is a step-by-step tutorial about uploading a photograph/image on Photobucket. I’d had an account with them for a few years already but had stopped using them in recent years so I started over at the main page to refresh my memory and to help me to make sure that all of the very necessary information was there for the readers of my article! It’s rated 1/7!
Rated 2/17, this article is just something that was bound to come up eventually lol Written in April, in this article, I state, “To be sexy is relative and it has a place but not where it is right now. The problem is when sexuality is confused with sexiness. To understand what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a man is far different than to exploit that for sexual purposes.” This article is in the channel, Society & Lifestyle: Morals, Values & Norms.
Views on illegal immigration in the US
Written in May, based off of a prompt on a college website for placement test review, this was something I found to be of unique character and of course, I couldn’t let it sit on the computer so I posted it there..and there it is, rated between 10-50/234. Yup, it’s just that controversial that ratings waver on a daily basis! Needless to say, I am glad to have posted it. I only wish I could do the same for the many other test essays I’ve written so far.
Would you wear a pre-owned wedding gown?
This was a debate and my vote was..wait, guess first…..Yup you got it, I voted No! I must have been in a wedding mood or something because I also wrote another wedding-themed article at about the very same time, which was in June. That article is called, The importance of wedding gowns in Christian marriages. So, whether it was Wedding Budget or Wedding Planning, I got some new topics here and it was under Celebrations & Holidays. 1/17!
Easter: Should children be limited in the amount of chocolate they eat?
In June, I joined in on another debate lol Oh, and my answer was YES! It’s rated 1/23.
Ensuring baby’s safety in your home
This may seem like a parenting topic but it was written in Home: Home & Garden: Home Interiors because it is essentially about baby-proofing. I originally write this on Life123 but that fell through as they were in beta and eventually just paid off authors for the articles that had been put up at that time but mine hadn’t gone through or something because I never got my $20 or my official posting and my account disappeared when they “went live…” I hadn’t even known they were in beta or what that even meant but I learned at that point and guess what, my article had to go somewhere so…rated 1/5, I hope you can benefit from reading this article ‘cuz I put in work!
That is all I have for you! Some creative writing, a bit of politics, home & garden, society & lifestyle, computers & technology and a couple from celebrations & holidays. Let me know what you think of the best of Christina Bernice Butler’s Helium.com articles from January through July 2010.
Peace, dudes && dudettes LoL
