Today’s blog review is our 1st place winner of the “StumbleUpon Friends Appreciation Giveaway.” I first found Mike McEvoy’s blog (HTS Tech Tips) from our comments. Mike is passionate about technology and publishes articles on Computer Tech Tips, Technology News and Computer Support. Mike’s recent article “Gmail – 45 Timesaving Keyboard Shortcuts” is an absolute time saver for those who use Gmail for email.

It has been a while since we had a giveaway, but this one is for our StumbleUpon friends who liked many of the articles published on TechJaws.

This giveaway is simple, and anyone can win some cool prizes. We are giving away not one, but three prizes!

Prizes – We will randomly choose 3 winners. The first winner will have a choice on what prize they would like. We will use random.org to select the winners.

1st Winner – Get Weighed and Measured or $25 Cash via PayPal

Listen, we aren’t going to love you up, verbally speaking. Sharks don’t give out love, even for the right amount of bait. What we will do is give you a straight-up honest review of your site, here on the main homepage for everyone to see, with a link back to your blog or web site. The review will consist of 200+ words and you will be rated on the following;

It has been a while since TechJaws has featured a blog review. Today, we are featuring one of our favorite blogs called Kikolani! The blog is authored and owned by Kristi Hines. Kristi is an artistic girl geek from the Southwest, but she is more than that. She has a range of interest that include, but not limited to; blogging, social media, photography, writing, poetry, psychology, personal growth, motivation, self improvement, pets, and more.

My favorite blog post is the weekly Fetching Friday. This post is part of a weekly series, featuring the resources mashup, #FollowFriday recommendations and so much more! If you missed any of these great posts, visit the Fetching Friday category here.

Kikolani reached a milestone celebrating its one year anniversary in May. Congratulations Kristi!

I am very fortunate to have met such a fine person who has really inspired me in many ways and is always willing to help when ever I reach out.
