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.

Stop the Press: Only six of them are female. Does that […]
There was an interesting debate/mild catfight going on in the comments of a John Chow Dot Com post the other day. John had written about whether doing off-topic posts was a good idea or not. He said he often received complaints when he did a restaurant review or some such, but “I personally get a […]
Daily Blog Tips has published a post called One Simple Blogging Rule to Keep You Out of Trouble.
Spoiler: The rule is not to say anything online that you wouldn’t say in person. It’s very good advice, even if you blog In Disguise and think no one will ever unmask you. Don’t say anything that […]
You may commiserate with me on this, but one of the first songs I remember hearing as a toddler was Meat Loaf’s boisterous early hit You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. I’m not a huge fan but Meat Loaf has always held a special place in my heart, if not on my […]
Sometimes it’s necessary to dust off your resume and update it. Although many people don’t mention their blogs in their resumes, as long as it’s SFW (Safe For Work) you should include it because you’ve learned a lot of valuable skills while blogging. Yes, really!
