This is the one where Rich Minx does something embarrassing.
Last night I was kneeling on the edge of my bed, leaned backwards (forgetting I was on the edge of the bed), and proceeded to do a head-first reverse somersault that culminated in a nasty *crunch* and me lying in a very strange position on the […]

Hello! I’m back. Phew, it’s been a busy few months.
Coming back to a blog you’ve barely updated is a bit like coming back to a house you vacated a while back and simply left, with mail piling up on the floor, dust bunnies gathering, wilted plants and a general feeling of unlived-in-ness. Right now I […]

Coming up to Christmas, it’s the perfect time for music stores (yes, they still exist) to release compilation CDs as stocking fillers. You know, the Absolute Bestest Greatest Christmas Songs Of All Time! Volume 3, etc etc.
Which got me to thinking, there are no CDs for bloggers as far as I’m aware, so here […]

One of the beauties of blogging is that geography can be immaterial. I will read your blog even if you live thousands of kilometres (or miles, or stone throws etc) away; even if you complain about the winter while I bask in summer; even if you write with a funny accent; even if we never […]

It’s common knowledge that most blogs simply die alone.
Starting a blog is damn easy; it takes two seconds. Name and template, then go. But maintaining a blog is not easy and many bloggers give up early, hit the snooze button and nothing happens ever again.
I’ve been guilty of this on a number of blogs over […]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!!
So after over a week of non-blogging and non-blog activity in general, I check my RSS to discover that Google PageRank has changed and some major bloggers have dropped, inexplicably, from a PR7 to a PR4. Godoogle works in mysterious ways.
Meanwhile, RichMinx.com celebrates a PR8, despite erratic […]

I haven’t blogged this week, partly because I’ve been busy and partly because I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t. Results below.
The World
The world didn’t end; in fact, it carried on. The cheek!
Traffic
Traffic definitely dropped, by about 20%. That’s not too bad considering how silent I was. Did they see tumbleweed? Come […]

Sorry for the silence. I have just started working on a big fulltime project that will take me through the next few months. I shan’t go into details but it’s the busiest I have been this year on a single project, and as a result I definitely have less time for blogging.
Which means it is […]

There are a lot of ‘best blogger’ lists floating around this week so I felt compelled to write my own. The following are the best bloggers, no contest. Sorry if you didn’t make the list, but then neither did I.
Note: the blogs aren’t linked to because this is more about using your imagination than using […]

NXE has released a list of The Top 50 most Influential Bloggers. I like these lists because although I recognize most of the faces, there are some new ones to learn from and about. Some, like Digg.com’s Kevin Rose, don’t exactly qualify as ‘bloggers’ though.
Stop the Press: Only six of them are female. Does that […]
