Day 1 – 31DBBB – Elevator Pitch
Posted by Tatter in Blogging, Musings Saturday, 23 January 2010 12:04 2 Comments
After finding out about 31 Days to Built a Better Blog (31DBBB) from Mama Kat, I decided to jumped in the wagon and subscribe to the fascinating yet very informative course.
Day 1 Challenge is to Create an Elevator Pitch.
What is an Elevator Pitch?
“An elevator pitch is an overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (for example, thirty seconds or 100-150 words).” – Wikipedia
Honestly, I have never heard of Elevator Pitch until I saw it on Mama Kat’s website and I’ve been reeling my brain trying to come up with an interesting-catchy-unforgettable elevator pitch. Making the long pitch was easier and I come up with this:
Colorful scoops of a mix-marriage couple, ex-nomads, with one toddler in tow. Place where the slightly Americanized wife channels her mundane sometimes knotty thoughts on mommyhood, toddlerhood, living back in her home country, occasional traveling loaded with photographs from her aperture challenged fingers.
While for the short one or some may call it the tag line it’s a bit more challenging. I’ve come up with several ideas but like these the most:
“Have a scoop (or two)…sprinklers provided”
“Have a scoop (or two)…life is just that colorfully delicious”
“Scoops on living, mommyhood, toddlerhood and everything else around the loop”
I’m leaning on the last tag line, what do you think? Any input is appreciated! 
Testing Windows Live Writer

Been seeing the praises for Windows Live Writer (WLW) for sometimes now and finally I decided to download it last week. Overall it looks amazing and a bright ideas also making posting and editing your blog easier.
Unfortunately, I’ve been having problems using it to post on this site such as it lags pretty bad that when I type something it won’t show up until a few seconds later which is annoying for me since I type pretty fast. My first reaction was to check my own laptop, worried that I might store way too many pictures and other documents. So out my portable hand drive to ‘collect’ those pictures folders and I deleted a lot of junks even some program that I didn’t even use anymore. Still not working. Checked out the Help Forum only to get more confused by some of the technical languages there. Could it be from my Vista OS? Google didn’t show any significant answer about Vista and WLW problem.
When I tried using WLW for my Blogspot account, it works fantastic! No lagging, no words got left behind LOL. So then what gives? I would love to use this program for blogging but it just runs way to slow to my taste. Until I can figure out what’s wrong or until someone can help pointing it out I will be posting the old fashioned way.
Oh by the way, if you happened to know about this or experiencing the same problem, please do share away. Thanks!
