OK- I'm now on Day 27 of my new blog experiment. Basically it just takes a word, a phrase, an idea or a Tweet to build up a picture of my life and my writing. You can visit it here.
It's not as impact-ful as the photography project that I saw at the Arts Centre but it's Ok for where I am at the moment.

Advent Gimmick

I was looking back over my 2006 blog Advent calendar which was pretty darned cool. I thought it might be nice to celebrate the season by another such gimmick but not sure what that should be. So I will do something but I'm not quite sure what it'll be.
In the meantime,I'm not sure it'll be this:
One Hundred Days to Make me a Better Person
Maybe you'll be making the pledge?

Blogging

I've just noticed I've been doing this blog for 4 years, which is incredible!
I've also noticed that I've been blogging a lot more of late. I wonder why that is?

The end of blogging?

http://justfineanddandy.blogspot.com is worth: Appraisal by YourWebsiteValue.com

Just for fun I went on the "Your Website Value" website that looks at the traffic your website gets and calculates a monetary value. You can see the result above which surprised me (and pleased me too seeing as the NCBC website is worth $32!) My high figure is due to the fact that I have so many bookmarks- so thank you to you all and I hope you still read even though I don't blog so often these days.

And thinking of not blogging so much- why is that? Was blogging just a fad? Has it's time been and gone? I notice a lot of the pages I link to on the right have stopped updating. If blogging has had it's moment in the sun, what has replaced it? Meanwhile if there were going to be Oscars given out to services in reliable and thought provoking blogging, then that award would be going to Carl. Well done!

Comments on posts

There are multiple reasons why I don't post comments on blogs:

• the blogger has written so comprehensively that nothing more need be said
• the blogger has written so comprehensively that it will take my feeble brain time to get my head around the subject and even then, it probably won't quite get there but I feel proud to know such brainy people
• the blogger has written so comprehensively that to say "well done" sounds lame and patronising
• the post may not warrant a reply (like the get yourself a ridiculous title one below)
• lots of other people have commented and I don't really need/want to
• lack of time
• (very rarely) I don't agree with the blogger and I don't really want to start a discussion about it
• the blogger in question is my husband and I feel like I always comment on his blog
• I have been the first to comment for the last three posts of that blogger and I'm starting to feel like a stalker
• are there any more to add?
