I must appologize if you received our weekly email numerous times today. I use a plugin called “MailPoet” to send the emails for me – I don’t know what happened as I’ve been using it for a few months now without any problem, but today I got our email from my website at least 5 times.

I took a look at the plugin to see what was going on – and I saw about 7 more “sending” or “waiting to send” which I of course promptly deleted.

I’m really sorry that this happened. I take spam very seriously and just want you to know that you can also always unsubscribe by hitting the link at the bottom of the email. read more

I try not to post too many personal posts on this site. Trying to look at least a little professional haha. But when Real Life interferes with the blogging, I think it’s time for a quick update as to explain the lack of updates lately. This is one of those personal posts about me, the blogger, and not really relevant to the other topics you see here. So if you’re curious, click on to read more, and if not, no hard feelings. Go check out some of my game reviews or something instead :). read more

Hope you all are enjoying 2016 so far! I want to make 2016 the best year yet for the readers of my blog https://geekysweetie.com

To do that, I have installed a new minimalistic theme with lots of white space and I’ve changed up the top bar navigation menu to better assist you to find the latest reviews, news, and information that pertains to your niche and interests.

I’ve also joined Empowr, a social network that supposedly pays authors a percent of their advertising revenue.
