On April Fool’s Day, Ironic Mom & EduClaytion got together and created a hilarious way for bloggers to have a little fun. They call it “Search Bombing” and it involves using Google to type in little things we bloggers know about each other and then intentionally searching for them in an attempt to have these words show up on the intended bloggers’ “Most Frequently Searched Terms” lists. …
