Advertising 2 comments

Rachel has an interesting post on Advertising on blogs where she compares how much advertising takes up on TV, in the Newspapers and on a pretty well known blog:

‘While online ads are on the increase, are we being bombarded by online ads like we are offline?

Niche Top Blog Lists

Blogging Tools and Services 16 comments

I think Robert Scoble is onto something when he says that having a single ‘top blog’ type list is pretty useless. He writes:

ProBlogger Site News 12 comments

It’s been such a long time since I started the ProBlogger T-Shirt Design competition that when it finally ended a few days back it had completely slipped my mind!!!

Judith on Managing a Blog Network

Blog Networks 3 comments

I really appreciate Judith Meskill’s blogging as it gives an insight into some of the mechanics of running a blog network which go beyond some of the big picture posts, squabbling and boasting that some others from the big networks (no names mentioned - or probably needed here) go on with on their blogs.

I normally work at home alone but today I have company - two ‘work-mates’. They are not really working WITH me (they are electricians - rewiring our house) but it’s nice to have people around.
