"stumbling upon" inspiration

I love wedsites (wedding+website=wedsite) and regularly check the blogs listed on the side of my own. But lately, I feel like they've only been featuring contests, engagement sessions or designer wedding dresses. And while looking at pictures of couples sitting in armchairs in the middle of the woods is fun, I want more. I want inspiration!

For my fellow wedsite junkies, Stumble Upon is a great way of discovering new sites. My father has been sending me sites he found through Stumble Upon for a while but I never bothered to join myself. I finally did and now I can see why it's so addicting!

After you join, it will ask you to check off different areas and topics that you enjoy searching on the web. Then you click "START STUMBLING!" and it will bring you to websites that fit the criteria you selected. From there, it's almost like the shuffle feature on your iPod; each time you click "Stumble!" a website with content fitting the topics you like will be randomly displayed.



How does this fit into wedsites? Easy. Once you've stumbled onto a page, you can conduct your own search (as long as it's a topic on StumbleUpon) and it will generate websites that fit only that topic. Wanna take a guess what I typed in? That's right, Weddings!

I think I "stumbled" for about two hours the first night I tried it and I found some really fun wedsites! Some were about etiquette, some were photography blogs, and some were the little, unknown blogs by brides (similar to mine) that don't necessarily show up on a Google search.

So what are you waiting for? Who knows what you might "stumble upon?!"
