Why Blog?

In a few weeks time I’ll be leading a discussion on Web 2.0 (blogs, social-networking, YouTube etc) and I wonder if you would help me with a bit of research. Quite simply, if you are a blogger, could you tell me why you blog and if you read blogs (by definition, you must read at […]

WordPress 2.5

I’ve just upgraded my WordPress installation to Version 2.5. The upgrade process was very smooth and the new administrative screens are rather nice – though it will take a while to get used to them. One really nice feature is the one touch upgrade feature for plugins. This is far better than having to download […]

Zemanta

I’ve just come across a tool which is supposed to make blogging easier and more interesting. Zemanta is a plug in for Firefox which works with blogger and WordPress blogs.

Subtitled The Musings of a Methodist Octogenarian, Olive Morgan’s blog shows that she has a more active mind and a greater sensitivity to culture than many people half her age.

Strange Links

I’m always intrigued by the reasons people link to this blog. Generally the links are kind, though the odd contentious one does arrive. However, I just don’t understand why this link is on a blog called best jokes for you! I just don’t see my list of Christian blogs being something that would have people […]

Blogs I Read: Blog of the Year

Well here it is the announcement that no one has been waiting for, my blog of the year. I’m judging this on three basic criteria, the blog must post often (which rules out one of my favourites: Real Meal Blog), must be consistently interesting and most importantly I have to prefer it to others for […]

Blogs I Read: Humour

I don’t generally read blogs for laughs, though some do provide a good deal of light relief (some of them even intend to). However, I do subscribe to two blogs mainly for their humorous content. They are somewhat diversely Cartoon Church (which you will often see unashamedly linked to here) and Scott Adams (of Dilbert […]
