So today I am going to try some affiliate links. Since we are experimenting and trying new things, this will of course be an experimental feature and may or may not benefit anyone.

First up is Amazon Prime Video. Many of us are already Prime members, and get free shipping on our orders among other benefits. What a lot of people don’t realize is that Amazon Prime includes a video service, Amazon Prime Video, which is comparable to Netflix and Hulu. Of course, it has a lot of older stuff that most people are not so interested in to fill out the catalog, but it actually has several binge-able shows (wow, “bingeable” isn’t a word?! What?) such as some old favorites like Psych, Monk, and Chuck as well as new classics like Parks & Recreation (at least as of the time of this writing).

If you use my link to sign up for a trial to Prime, I will get a commission from the sale even if you cancel before the free trial is up! I think. I’m still figuring this out. Regardless, you should check it out because while affiliate integration is part of the goal of the blog, Prime Video is also a great service and my family uses it every day.

Next up is another Amazon service, Amazon Music Unlimited. While the TV app is a little hard to navigate, I actually prefer Amazon Music Unlimited to Google/YouTube Music and iTunes because of the level of control over my content and the library. Admittedly, the libraries of just about every music streaming service is about the same, but I like the controls and ease of use of Amazon Music Unlimited. Click the link below to try it out!! You don’t even have to be a Prime Member!

Amazon gives the option to add banners, too, which are more noticeable. Next “lesson” I will try those instead. For more info on the steps I went to in order to get this far, leave me a comment so I know you are interested! I’ll check in soon to let you guys know if it seems to be a viable option for a blog such as this. Thanks readers.

How many times have I started over and erased all the content on my blog so I could start fresh? I have lost count. I seem to have this compulsive need to start from scratch. And it’s not just in writing; when I set a book down for more than a week, I have this need to start from the beginning. I have played the introductions of so many video games over and over without ever finishing the game because I get distracted and forget to keep playing; then I come back after a month and don’t remember anything. So I start over. Again.

I have heard the old saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” so I’m sure all of my sporadic readers love me by now, since it’s been years since I posted anything on my blog…

Here we are again, though, starting over. My goal is provide consistent tips, observations, thoughts, ideas, randomness and whatever else I can think of to stick in a post. Once a week at minimum. If you read my About Me page, you can see that I am working on seeing what works in the online arena as far as viewership and traffic goes. That’s what this is about — posting something even if I don’t have much to say, hoping that I’ll learn what I want to say during the process.

Do you have an irrational habit of constantly scrapping your progress and starting over? Let me know in the comments!
