Did You Know?

Unusual, Odd, or Downright Outrageous Stories: Submitted by amazingly informed readers.

I would like try a reader generated series on unusual or obscure facts and ideas that relate to the theme of Healthy Living For People and Planet Earth. The idea is that when someone submits a fact or situation I will post it, comment on it, and include a link to the submitters website, (or whatever site they want). This serves two purposes. First, me and my readers get a fresh perspective on some of the things that are happening around the world, things that I might not discover on my own. Also, the submitter gets recognition and a valuable link within the post to the site of their choosing. I have found from my own experience that links within the content of  a site are much more valuable than the links I left in comments. So if you would like to submit a link, idea, or fact for this series, just contact me. As a bonus, the first 5 that I use will get a long-term link in my sidebar as “founding contributors” to this series. I am also open to changing the name of the series from “Did You Know”, so feel free to offer up an idea for a reward on title also.

Your submission only needs to be a fact or idea, it does not have to be a post, although any form of submission will be considered. I can research it and flesh it out if needed. Of course I will also offer my incredibly valuable opinion on the submission. Look for the first Did You Know post next week and then be brave and submit your own. I have a few ideas of my own to get this series started, but I believe it will be better with lots of reader generated ideas.  They should be related to the general sort of things posted here: Health, Food, Environment, Technology, Hiking, – You can look at the categories list in my sidebar for ideas. But, this recommendation may be irrelevant since I am frequently way off topic in my posts.  So, almost anything goes. Submit something and I bet it will get posted….
