BB is known for his intention attacks, trolls, and baiting of more successful bloggers, and Darren has been one of his many targets in the past. Now Darren turned BB into a friend with this gesture. Brilliant!

(This include photos of exactly how to insert the needle tip inside stitches.) So there is a "detailed how to article" exception to the rule. There is a niche for excruciating detail in hobby blogs. That said: you can't make significant money this way. The posts are too time consuming. If you want to keep the ratio of #visits/time invested high, you can't fill that sort of niche.

I guess that's the silver lining to missing a week of blogging--you can write about it. I recently feel ill prior to preparing for the occasion.
