Today, The Wonder of Tech is one year old! I started this blog last year to share my love of personal technology with others who wanted to learn about tech in plain English. I wanted to share apps, great websites, helpful hints and tech tips. During the past year, 264 articles have been published (including this one), 6200+ comments have been posted, and readers have visited from 122 different countries. The Wonder of Tech started appearing in the Business Section of The Philadelphia Inquirer website on Thursdays, beginning in October.
In honor of The Wonder of Tech finishing its rookie year, I have decided to accept the Seven Links Challenge, which was created by TripBase Blog:
- to unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that deserve to see the light of day again.
The rules are as follows:
A. Blogger is nominated to take part.
Oops! I wasn’t nominated. But it’s my blog’s birthday so I get a free pass, right?
B. Blogger publishes seven links on her blog.
Okay, I’ve got this one covered. Here they are:
1. Your Most Beautiful Post
All Wonder of Tech posts are beautiful in my mind, but here is my favorite image I’ve used this past year:
2. Your Most Popular Post
My most popular post saddens me. The post that has received the most hits by far is Hack Attack! What to Do if Your Email is Hacked. I wish no one needed information about what to do when her email is hacked. But far too many people are victims of scummy hackers.
3. Your Most Controversial Post
Good-bye iPhone, Hello Android. There is nothing more controversial in the tech world than a comparison between iPhone and Android. The follow-up poll Poll: iPhone vs. Android? has been my most popular poll.
4. Your Most Helpful Post
This one perplexes me. I hope all of my posts are helpful. If you have a smartphone, the articles about apps may be the most helpful to you. If you’re an online shopper, Invisible Hand might have been the most helpful to you. If you use Facebook, perhaps Your Secret βOtherβ Facebook Messages is the most helpful to you. So I will leave it to you, the reader, to share which post you found most helpful in the Comments section below.
5. A Post Whose Success Surprised You
Visual Math: Making Math Fun! was a post I didn’t think would be very popular because, although the app is fabulous, the intended audience is narrow. The app is designed for children ages 4-6 and is iPad only. I wrote the post because the app was really fantastic and I thought people in that narrow audience could really benefit from discovering the app. Readers and the Twitter community spread the word about that post and it became a big hit.
6. A Post That Didn’t Get the Attention It Deserved
This is a tie. First, I thought the Locavore: Your Tech Tip for Farm Fresh Food! post about the Locavore app and website, showing the location of local farms that sell to the public, would be a big hit. It wasn’t, so I re-published it again in my All-Stars series. Still not a hit. I’m thinking that people don’t enjoy buying from farmers as much as I do.
The second one was Zoomappy: Your App Search Ally! The ZoomAppy website is an incredibly handy way to locate iTunes apps, much easier than the iTunes Store. Again, I re-published it in my All-Stars series when I went on vacation in August, but it still wasn’t a big hit. Perhaps I am one of the few who spends loads of time searching for apps?
7. Post That You Are Most Proud Of
The Best App Ever! As a new blogger I made a bold statement, choosing the Best App Ever! I hadn’t yet developed much of a readership nor established my credibility to make such a claim. But I believed in the app so much that I felt confident in my ability to go out on a limb. The app helps both parents and children and can transform the atmosphere of a household as well as the attitude of children.
I had no contact with the developer prior to writing the article. I had been using the app for years and it was my use of the app that prompted me to write the article. The developer has since been a strong supporter of the blog, giving me guidance, adding insightful comments to many posts, and offering encouragement along the way. Great apps don’t always have great developers, but iRewardChart is a great app backed by a truly great developer.
C. Nominate Five Other Bloggers to Participate in the Challenge
1. Mike Maynard – Mike 10163’s Blog. Mike writes his daily blog about every topic known to mankind so I am fascinated to see which seven links he chooses. His subjects cover Neodigital photography, politics, saving money, investing and Farmville, among others. He is engaging and instructive, and illustrates his posts with his photographic artistry.
2. Bill Dorman – Bill Dorman. Bill writes about life and social relationships online and off-line. His blog probably holds the all-time World Record for the Most Comments Per Post because he is warm, welcoming and witty at his place. If you want to know how to engage with others, visit his blog and take notes. His blog has changed a lot since he started it, less than a year ago. I am curious to see which seven links he chooses. I don’t think I’ve missed any of his posts, so I want to see if my predictions come true.
3. Jens Berget – Sly Marketing. Contrary to popular belief, Jens’s blog isn’t all about pizza. Jens writes insightful posts about life, people, tech and customer service. His articles are gems, I would love to know which are his seven links.
4. Janet Callaway – The Natural Networker. Janet always inspires with her writing. She shares quotes, beautiful photos, humor and encouragement. I would be very interested to learn which are her seven links.
5. Harleena Singh – Aha-Now! Her lovely blog is full of wonderful advice and heartwarming stories. She focuses on families and positive advice to help deal with issues. I would love for her to feature her favorite posts for others to discover.
Honorable mention – According to the rules of Seven Links, I couldn’t pick blogs who have already be nominated for the challenge. That rule disqualifies two of my favorite blogs, adriennesmith.net, with great tech, blogging and marketing advice from Adrienne Smith, and Thoughts on Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Motivation, a business and people-related blog by Kindle book author, Ashvini Kumar Saxena (I call him “The Professor”). Their blogs are well worth a visit.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported The Wonder of Tech this year, especially you, my wonderful readers. You have made this journey a fantastic experience. If you have been helped by an article on this blog that you think others would enjoy, please let us know in the Comments section below!

Good luck! And wasn’t it tough to pick from your posts?
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Hajra, Yes, that’s when I discovered your blog. I loved that series. Thank you very much for allowing me to participate in that.

Hi Carolyn,
Wow. Happy Birthday!!! I can’t believe that you’ve manage to all this in such a short time. It’s just amazing. You’re a huge inspiration, and I feel like I’ve known you for many many years.
Thank you so much for the nomination. I really appreciate it. I have to schedule some time and answer your challenge π

Thank you for all of your support of The Wonder of Tech this year, Jens. I am especially appreciative of your wonderful article and video on Spotify for my blog.

I’m excited to follow your journey in 2012, Jens. I know exciting things are in store for you. π
Kathy Do says
Happy Birthday, Wonder of Tech! This information has really made a difference in my life and I know many of your other readers feel the same way. I look forward to the coming year of surprising and enlightening tech information. (Pretty soon I will no longer be able to call myself a Tech Neophyte!)
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Kathy, Thank you for your kind words. I am heartened to hear that this blog has helped you. Thank you also for all of your support of the blog and for the wonderful topic suggestions this year.
Keep reading The Wonder of Tech and you’ll be a tech expert soon! (*)
Cathy | treatment Talk says
Hi Carolyn,
Happy Birthday to you and your blog. There have been a number of posts that have been my favorites. I am always interested in your app posts. Another example is your post on Fiverr which was was helpful. Your blog is fun to read, and I look forward to reading your next find. Congrats!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Cathy, Wow, that’s great to know. I really enjoy writing posts about apps, and get excited to share them with others. I’m please to know you you enjoy those posts as well.
Fiverr was one of my favorite posts because the site is so useful. I hope you have much success with them as well!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comment, Cathy! π
Adrienne says
Happy Birthday to The Wonder of Tech!!! I don’t know what I ever did without you before now. You have taught me SO much about tech and gadgets. I’m not only thrilled that you created this blog for us Carolyn but I’m also thrilled that I’ve had a chance to get to know you throughout this past year.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary and for sharing the seven links challenge. I so appreciate the mention and thank you so much for that.
Have a beautiful day and Happy Birthday!
~Adrienne
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Adrienne, Thank you so much for your good wishes. You have been a huge source of support for me, Adrienne, always answering my questions, mentioning me on your blog so often. You were so amazing when I was nominated for Philly’s Best Blogger award. Thank you also for all of the tech you have taught me, Adrienne! Yours is one of my favorite tech blogs. π
It has been a true pleasure getting to know you this year, Adrienne. Developing our friendship has been a highlight of this past year. I am so glad I found your amazing blog and found you this year. I don’t know what I would have done without you this year, Adrienne!
Thank you for everything, my friend! <:-P
Kaarina Dillabough says
Congratulations! I now look forward to catching up on all of those posts of yours, and visiting those bloggers you’ve nominated. I’m pretty tech-not, so I’m not always familiar with the topics (you should see the cell phone I have…and apps? Don’t have nary a one. Oooh, did I say that in my outside voice?), but I love your posts, and learn lots. Doing the Happy Dance for you! Cheers! Kaarina
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Kaarina, Thanks so much! Most people don’t have smartphones yet, but when and if you do, I bet you will love apps!
This blog is designed for people who aren’t tech-savvy so I hope you continue to enjoy the articles. Thanks so much for stopping by and your warm wishes, Kaarina! π
Kaarina Dillabough says
This tech-not will continue to stay tuned:) Congrats again! Kaarina
Ruth - The Freelance Writing Blog says
Happy Birthday! Congratulations Carolyn, what a wonderful milestone! I’ve read most of the posts in your seven links challenge – but admittedly, I haven’t read the Lovacore post. I’m going to have to check it out – maybe this post will bring it the love it deserves :-). I really love the fall picture – I agree, it’s GORGEOUS.
I look forward to reading the posts of the folks you’ve nominated.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Ruth, Thank you, I think you’ll enjoy finding out more about Locavore. It’s a great app and website.
I hope you enjoy reading the blogs I listed. They’re all great.
Enjoy! π
Jack says
Happy Blogiversary. I am so glad that I found your blog. I really enjoy coming here and have found a lot of good tips. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hello, Jack, I’m so glad you found the blog too! Thank you so much for adding to the conversation throughout this year with your wonderful comments. π
Harleena Singh says
Congratulations on completing a year Carolyn!
Happy Birthday to you Wonder of Tech π
I just can’t believe that you have achieved such success within such a short period of time- it is truly commendable! You are always a source of inspiration to many of us, and your dedication to write daily for this blog is something we all need to learn from π
Thanks so much for thinking of me about the nomination. I am indeed honored and privileged, and would have to think up on the posts now π
Loved your links shared, as most of them I had not read and would love to go through them now. And I loved the pictures shared here as well π
While I do know all the other nominees, I am heading over to check Mike’s blog and say ‘Hello!’
Thanks so much for this…:)
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Harleena, Wow, thank you for your kind words. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing these posts and sharing tech information with my readers. I feel honored that people take the time to read what I write and share it with others.
You will really enjoy Mike’s blog, Harleena. There are posts on topics to suit everyone. If you have any questions, Mike is very quick to respond personally to you.
I look forward to you posting your 7 Links Challenge, Harleena! π
Carrie says
Happy Birthday Wonder of Tech!!! I’ve really enjoyed the blog, Carolyn. I’ve learned a lot from your blog this past year. I look forward to many more. I’m not sure I have a single favorite post, but I consulted your blog recently when I was trying to figure out which kindles to buy for the twins (shhh–a surprise for their birthday next month!) and also when I was trying to decide if I should buy an ipad, and I have purchased a few of your favorite apps. I would say what I know about tech right now, I know from you! So…Thanks!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Carrie, I’m so glad you have found the blog helpful. Have you decided which Kindle to buy for your twins yet? I have three girls with three different models of Kindles so my house is a virtual testing lab for Kindles, lol!
You were the one who started me on audiobooks, inspiring my post on Audible: My Favorite Way to Read a Book https://wonderoftech.com/2011/04/audible-my-favorite-way-to-read-a-book/ I absolutely love listening to audiobooks and I owe that to you, so thank you for teaching me tech as well! π
Carrie says
I thought it safer to get one type or surely one would be liked more than the other. I liked the size of the Kindle Touch and felt that they’re used to touch screens so they wouldn’t be frustrated by it. It was also pretty reasonably priced. But I also just won a Kindle Fire from our school which will be delivered soon. I’m excited to try that as well! I’ll let you know how it goes!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Carrie, Keep me posted how your twins like the Touch. I’ve heard of some people getting frustrated by the touch screen, though my daughter enjoys it.
Each one of my girls got to pick their own Kindle and each chose a different one.
Congratulations on winning the Fire. That’s a very cool prize! Make sure to check out the daily free app on Amazon. You can find some real treasures there. π
Stan Faryna says
Happy blogiversary! You’re a shooting star, Carolyn. Keep on doing the awesome that you do!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Stan, Thank you for your inspiration this year and for making me a Rockstar! I appreciate our friendship tremendously. (*)
Mike Maynard says
Hi Carolyn,
Congratulations on getting to one year old. I would have trouble nominated 5 bloggers. I have that much going around in my head I forget to eat sometimes. I am subscribed to more than 5 blogs and so i would have to write notes! I like this blog, even though I’m not that interested in fashion – http://ilookstreetstyle.wordpress.com/ It has great photos and got me noticing street fashion and wanting to photograph it. I’m not trying that, I would probably get my face slapped or something. I’ll have to think about this Seven Links Challenge. I think I posted about 250 blogs last year; I’ll do better this year! π
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Mike, Well, you surprised me twice in the comment. First, I thought for sure you would have at least 365 posts in the past year, I really thought you posted every single day. Second, I thought that picking your 7 Links would be your greatest challenge, not picking five other bloggers.
I do hope you accept the challenge because I look forward to seeing your Links! π
iRewardChart says
Happy Anniversary Wonder of Tech! Has it been only a year? It feels you’ve been part of our lives for long. Seems we have known for years. How did you pack so much into just one year?
You are one amazing blog and blogger I have come across, who is sincere, cares about each and every reader (tell me another blogger who responds to every commenter), keeps us informed with useful tech+lifestyle posts. I am a true admirer.
I too have come to know of many brilliant people like Jens through you.
I am so honored to be part of your 7-links. Thank you!
Many many happy returns of the day, Ms Polygadgetist (Hilarious!! Did you coin that term?)
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hello iRewardChart! So happy you made it here today. Always great to have you visit The Wonder of Tech.
Yes, I do care deeply about my readers, thank you for your kind words. But I am not alone in responding to comments on my blog. Every one of the bloggers listed above does the very same thing. The community of bloggers I’ve been privileged to meet this year have shown warm hospitality to me and other visitors. They have taught me a lot about how to blog successfully.
Thank you again for all of your help and support!
I didn’t coin Polygadgetist, but got it from a UK tech magazine. It seems to fit me though! π
Cat Alexandra says
Dear Carolyn,
Happy birthday to Wonder of Tech!! Wow, 5 years is a huge milestone!
I’m excited to dive into your 7 links! Thanks for accepting that challenge…I have always found these to be some of the best ways to acquaint myself with the blogging world because they provide such a diverse array of articles.
Cheers to a fantastic 2012 for you!
Cat Alexandra
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Cat, Thanks for your kind words! Yes, five years is a huge milestone. So far I only have one year under my belt, but come back in four years and we can celebrate my five year anniversary. π
Cat Alexandra says
LOL Oh Carolyn,
I just had a major “DOH!” (in the voice of Homer Simpson) moment! I didn’t recall typing “5” but will chalk that lil snafu up to hyperactive fingers!
…and for the record, I do fully expect to see you turn a 5th year going into the future! π
Cat
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Lol, Cat! How about you visit again in 5 years and we can celebrate together? Let’s hope you visit The Wonder of Tech many times between now and then.
Thank you very much for your kind wishes! π
Cat Alexandra says
hahaha I will definitely be visiting you more over the next little while, Carolyn – and I will also hope to be a part of your 5 year celebration party when that time arrives! π
Cat
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Sounds like a fabulous plan, Cat! <:-P
Bill Dorman says
I love the party dog photo…wheeee……
Ok, first of all you said some very nice stuff about me but now you have put the pressure on me. Not only do I have to dig up 7 posts, I have to make a list too….yikes. It might be kind of fun however, thanks for the mention…….you know me a lists….:).
You have done incredibly well; how do you know the 122 countries, is there some way to measure that too?
You are doing beyond great Carolyn, let’s see what the next year brings.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Thanks, Bill. We started our blogging journeys almost at the same time. I figure we’re in this together. I may have more posts, but you probably have more comments during the time you’ve been blogging.
You’ll have fun with your lists. It’s interesting to re-visit your older posts.
Google Analytics will tell you how many countries have visited your blog. I gained two new countries today (124 now), but still no love from Greenland. π
Did you see my email to you today, Bill? Make sure you check out the response to your comment in the What’s Your Business post. A treasure is waiting for you there!
Thanks for stopping by today and joining the party. I greatly appreciate your support this past year! <:-P
Jayme Soulati says
Absolutely, fabulous. I always encourage (read that preach) everyone starting to give it a year. So much happens that first year and it’s a wild journey. You’ve reached it and have rewarded your readers with amazing content, Carolyn. I am promising right now to be back here more frequently; I am missing out.
Congrats again.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Jayme, Thanks so much! I truly believe it’s a milestone to make it through the first year. In the beginning you feel as if you’re speaking to an empty room. I truly value those whose friendships I have gained this year. I was warned before I started blogging that I would be subject to jerks who would flame my blog with nasty comments.
Instead I have discovered a warm and supportive blogging community who helps each other out as much as possible. What a delightful surprise!
You are welcome to visit anytime, Jayme. Always great to see you here at The Wonder of Tech. Thank you for stopping by today and helping me celebrate. π
Amber Avines says
Congratulations, Carolyn! So glad I found your blog last year. It’s been such a great resource!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Amber, I’m so glad we connected this past year. Thanks for stopping by and helping me to celebrate! \:D/
Kimberly Castleberry says
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birth to the Wonder of Tech (and fantastic job to you!)! I love all the techie goodness you cover (and having another chic to talk shop with rocks!)
Kim
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Kim, Thanks so much for the good wishes and for all of your help and support this year, especially the tech podcasting site you sent me!
You have taught me so much about the tech side of blogging. Thanks for your amazing blog that has been a wonderful resource for me!
Kimberly Castleberry says
I’d wondered if you’d found that podcast directory helpful. I think I probably missed a reply tweet. My twitter mentions column is so busy I miss stuff which is unfortunate. That was quite the directory wasn’t it?
You and I have stuff that compliments each others audiences. If you ever want to work together on something, let me know!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Thank, Kim. It would be an honor to work with you! π
Ashvini says
Hey Carolyn,
Congratulation to you and your blog for the first birthday.
I think our association has been quite long as well and I have to say I am really fortunate to know you. Your blog posts are so full of knowledge and they come so frequently that I wonder how do you write so long posts almost everday.
I am really fond of the tech tips that I and all the reader get. While many other tech blogs often look like machine writing, your blog comes out as human as it can be .
People often say that tech blogging is dead. In my opinion it is alive and kicking and it needs people who are passionate about tech. You prove them wrong and me right :).
Congratulations once again , thanks for the mention. I wish many b’days for your blog π and a long association with you.
Have a great day π
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Tech blogging is dead? Uh oh, I didn’t get the memo!
Thank you for your very kind words, Ashvini! Meeting you this year has certainly been a highlight. You have been a huge help and inspiration to me. Your knowledge, giving spirit and kindness are a great example for me and other bloggers. (*)
Hamish says
Hi Carolyn,
I always enjoy finding a new Wonder of Tech post notification in my inbox. Congratulations to you and many happy returns! π
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Thank you so much for your good wishes, Hamish, and thank you for being a Wonder of Tech subscriber! π
Karen Burke says
Congrats Carolyn. You have worked hard and deserve all the kudos you have earned. I enjoy following your blog!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Thank you, Karen! I appreciate you saying that, but it seems more like fun than hard work. I feel very fortunate to be able to pursue my passion this way. Thanks so much for sharing the fun! \:D/
Dan Cristo says
Hey Carolyn,
Super congrats on your blog birthday. Your blog has come a long way from that original design. haha. Great job, and keep up the amazing work.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Dan, welcome to The Wonder of Tech! Thank you for your kind words and thank you for developing Triberr. You are a huge supporter of bloggers, helping us to support each other and spread the word about quality blogs. (*)
Mark Harai says
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!
You’ve accomplished this with such grace, style and power Carolyn!
You’re having a huge impact on people and the social web. You work is making a difference – how cool is that!
Cheers to another great year and lot’s of progress!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Mark, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! Thank you very much for your words of praise. They mean a lot coming from you! (*)
You’re right, it means so much when I learn that I have helped others discover great tech or learn a new tech tip. I’ve always been excited to share tech information with others, so it’s very rewarding to hear that I’ve made a difference. π
Gramps says
Wow, time flies! Happy birthday, Tech Lady. I’m looking forward to year 2.
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Gramps, Thank you for all of your support of The Wonder of Tech this past year. I’m looking forward to year two as well! π
Adriene says
Hi, and happy one year blog anniversary! I’ve been blogging for 2 years and i can’t see the end of it. Enjoy!
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Hi Adriene, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech. Wow, two years is a really long time in the blogging world. I hope I’m still at this a year from now, I enjoy it so much!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting today, Adriene! π
Praveen Rajarao says
You have completed an awesome year and hope you have many more to come. I know you are unstoppable with all the tech knowledge that you gain and share.
Keep them coming.
Ann Jane says
Carolyn..I’m a few days late, but then I didn’t find you until a few days ago. I’m loving your Blog and this one gives me a jump start on a whole year!
Happy Belated..I’m looking forward to your NEXT year!
Ann
CarolB says
Boy oh boy, how did I miss such a monumental day in the life of a great blogger! Happy Birthday Wonder of Tech! What’s my favorite post? Too many to list here! I’ve learned so much about tech through your blog, can’t wait for more “lessons” to come.
Janet Callaway says
Carolyn, Hauoli La Hanau to the Wonder of Tech–which it is indeed. Thanks to you and your blog, the word “tech” is no longer automatically accompanied by “terrifying” in my mind. Simply, painlessly and with caring and compassion you two not only demystified tech, you made me look forward to learning more and to experimenting.
Carolyn, not only do I love and appreciate what I have learned, I get excited about sharing what I learned with others. In fact, oftentimes when I am reading one of your posts I think “wait until I tell ______ about this.” Being able to pass on such helpful information to others makes my heart sing.
And, Carolyn, getting to know you was one of my very favorite social media connections made in 2011. It has been an absolutely getting to know you and connecting with you in so many areas. Your friendship and support mean the world to me.
By the way, that image that you selected is my very favorite of yours and, as you know, Invisible Hand is resource I use and share with others on a regular basis.
Though I have been nominated for the 7 links challenge, I have never published such a blog because I found it difficult to make the selection. Obviously, I will have to visit my blog and spend some time looking at posts. Thank you so much for the honor of being included with such great company.
Again, Happy Blogiversary. Carolyn, I look forward to another year of learning from you while being entertained and enchanted. Aloha. Janet
Faran says
Congrats Carolyn,
Your blog is certainly doing well and I wish u all the best for the next year too. pretty interesting posts you’ve mentioned here, particularly your most controversial post
Carolyn Nicander Mohr says
Thank you, Faran! I appreciate your kind words and support this past year. I hope you continue to enjoy The Wonder of Tech!
