I did a link exchange with someone yesterday, and I think it is always great to trade links. It is a great way to get more traffic, hince the reason I did that.

Well, for those that want to trade links or banners. You can send me an email at podcast@buddes.net with the following things:

• URL of Blog or Website
•  Your Name
• Name of Blog or Website
• 440px × 56px Banner (If you want to do a Banner Exchange)

Along with this, if you would like to have a chance to have your blog or website featured on Tech Nation’s weekly segment starting on June 6th. Send a link, your name, and site name and we will check it out and will decide if it will be one of our site of the week.

As always, thanks for all of the readers and linking. It is great and if you have any ideas, Let me know. Oh and I was wondering, what do you think of “top 5 diggs of the week”?

Wanted to give you this update yesterday.. But, I was busy. For the information about my trip to Albany coming up on May 7th and 8th.

• I leave at 6am from the School to Albany. Making it there by 10:30am
• For specific reasons, I will not be telling you where I will be going (Tours and more) until I post again after the trip.

Here is what is going to happen on the way there & when I get back.

On the way there:

• Twitter updates all of the way to Albany, during the trip and on the way back.
• Photos will be taken, which will be posted to Flickr when I get back.
• [Not Sure Yet] A possible episode of TWTHS will be recorded on the way there and the way back.

When I get back:

• Photos will be posted to Flickr.
• Tweets having to do with the Albany trip will be bound together and will be posted on the big albany trip post.
• What we did will be posted.
• All Emails that were sent to me while I was on the trip will be responded to. (This means if it has to do with a Web Service and you need immediate assistance, you will not be getting it from me on May 7th and 8th. Contact them directly. Them meaning the Web Service)
• If an episode of TWTHS was recorded, it WILL be edited and re-posted!

Overall it sounds like I will be having fun on the way there, at Albany, and on the way back. I will be sure to let y’all in on everything that I liked,  and disliked about the trip.

I did an update for Wetpaint Nation on Friday and have not had a chance to make a blog post.

Quick note: My birthday is tomorrow (4/20) and I am doing a TWTHS Episode and Patti Serrano is doing a special episode of Call Your Grandma.

Those of you that follow me on Twitter know that I had planned for a new look on the blog some time during the week. Well, here it is!

• I am now using the jbb_Premium Theme for Wordpress blogs.
• Updated the sidebar.. moved somethings around and removed some.
• Updated the Wetpaint Nation Logo on the Wetpaint Nation page.

Check out the difference from the previous theme to the new theme.

As most of you know, I do a segment on Podcaster Training every Friday.. So, here is the blog post on Two Beams that has Patti Serrano, Jeff Chandler, Rob White and I in it. Check it out…

Late to night I will be doing a blog post for Wetpaint Nation and about my Birthday Tomorrow.

Where’s episode 8 you ask? Sorry about that.. I’ve been busy since Friday and haven’t had time to release it until today.
