I though you would mention something about writing certain types of post or doing certain things…oh well. That wasn’t a very helpful picture by the way :-(

hi darren
This is nice cartoon.
In my opinion you can become famous blogger by moving to a domain (after a period of time of being at free blog host) and care about readers need. which i am preparing to do very soon :)

It’s funny. I regularly get pointed at in the street, as the pictures insinuate. Does that mean I’m famous?
I have a new website in my RSS feeder.

It’s a cute cartoon but I feel like I’ve just been tricked. Do you have Halloween in Australia? If so, I guess we can expect some additional trickery on Oct. 31st as well ;)

I like how all it takes to become famous is two people with one pointing at you. I’ve been famous then since the girls pointed and laughed in high school!

Easy to say, and hard to be done by blogging.
But blogging with some publicity on you tube ,and on social networks like hi5 and myspace is more easy to be famous world wide :)
