This year I’m excited about BlogHer because it will be in New York City (Go New York!) which also means that I will finally be able to attend my very first blog conference. Since I started blogging two years ago, I have always wanted to attend a blogging conference to meet other bloggers, learn the ropes of blogging the “right” way (make some $$, gain traffic & learn how to social network) and of course, to get away for a couple of days.

BlogHer ’10 is especially exciting for me because I will be hosting a party called Social Fiesta, along with other fabulous Latinas and BlogHer.

So join us as we celebrate Latinas and Hispanic culture at the Social Fiesta at BlogHer ’10 on Thursday, August 5th.  We’ll be reveling in the different Latin flavors, music, colors and art, with plenty of food and drinks, and of course, lots of dancing! What better way could there be to kick off BlogHer ’10 than with a fiesta de culturas?

Anyone who is registered for BlogHer ’10 can RSVP for Social Fiesta but space is limited so hurry up and register so you won’t miss the party con sabor / with flavor!

I think my daughter could get used to face painting. Makes me wonder, what’s next, Tattoos? LOL

Happy Wednesday!

**Edited to add: I decided to join the blogosphere and place a Mister Linky so anyone can add their Wordless Wednesday Post here as well. This will be here every week there is a WW. Thank you!!

Doing the happy dance!!

Thanks to my dear friend, Mariana, whom I’ve only known for a short time but who is dear to my heart has took (almost) a full day (I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of you for doing this) to fix a MAJOR problem on my site for me.

Apparently, my site was hacked because I never updated my WordPress account (don’t ever let this happen people!) and my password was the same for 2 years (a huge no-no!).  It also messed up my Feedburner email updates so no one was getting my blog updates.  It was insane!

I felt insane.

After asking numerous times on Twitter if anyone knew how to fix a feedburner problem, numerous phone calls to Godaddy (which were no help at all!) and many hours on the internet trying to find a solution (which I could not find anywhere, including Google), she did it all in about 6 hours.

She actually took time away from her life to help a blogger in need – Now that’s what I call a friend.  Thanks girl!! You’re the best! I owe you big time!

I would’ve NEVER gotten this to work out without her help. I really thought it was the end for New York Chica.  I lost all hope and was not motivated at all.

So thanks again Mariana! This post is for you!

If you haven’t checked out her awesome site, go to http://ridingwithnohands.com.

It’s been a whole year already!  Someone sent me a comment about my blog anniversary.  I totally forgot it has been a year to the day.

So, Happy Anniversary New York Chica.  It’s been a fun year!! Here’s to another fun year with all my new found bloggy friends!!

Ok, back to the comment.  The reason why I didn’t approve the comment is because it had something that was inappropriate for this blog.  I don’t want to seem like a prude or anything but I do not approve anything that has any sexual nature because I have young sisters that read my blog.  I don’t find a need to write about anything sexual anyway.

On another note, I know I mentioned that I had a giveaway but I don’t have the items that I wanted to give away yet.  As soon as I have it all ready, I will post it.

I’ll give you a hint.  The first item is something you can use in the house, with small children around.  The second item is something you can use when you’re indoors and outdoors.

Stay Tuned!

It’s time to find another theme for my blog.  The header is just fine; I’m not bored with that look at all.  It’s the overall look of the whole blog I’m tired of.  Does anyone get like that with their blogs??

You see, here’s the thing – I get bored easily.  For some strange reason, I’m not bored with the hubby…..yet..LOL

So, if anyone would like to help me, I would love it

Have a great weekend.

Now that my blog has a new place on the web/WordPress, my Feedburner has changed too.  So if you had a subscription to my blog before, you would need to update your email address again.  I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I guess things like this happen when the URL is changed, for some strange reason.

My buddy Jai pointed out that my Feedburner wasn’t working anymore so that is how I found out.  Thanks girl and thank goodness that is not the case now.  It is working just fine.

So please click on the right side of my page and enter your email address so you don’t miss a thing.

Just a friendly reminder: If you subscribe to my blog by email, I will DEFINITELY return the favor Thanks alot!

it has been a big headache updating this blog.  The last layout had MAJOR glitches so I had to change the whole look.  I’m not sure I like this one but it’ll work for now.

***Entrecard is no longer working on the other blog so feel free to drop those cards here

Thanks to all!

So, what do you think about my new look?  Do you like it?  Is it too dark or is it OK? Please give me feedback. I would greatly appreciate it

I have been working on my blog for 2 days now and I am so exhausted.  I was hoping the blog would be ready today but I guess not.  I still have to figure out a way on how to add my previous posts from the old blog into this one.  If anyone knows how to do that, PLEASE let me know   My friend Jai at Mamistimeout is also updating her blog and she is trying to help me out thru emails.  Her blog is going to look really nice too.

As for the Entrecard, it is now working here.  So feel frel free to drop your cards and say hello! I am hoping to transfer my other “blog stuff” over to this blog today also.  Wish me luck! =)
