Take A Hint
I doubt very much that any spammers will read this simply because they are concentrating on one single post at the moment, and I doubt they’ve even read that either. But, just in case: Give it up. I mean, yesterday I had over five hundred attempted spams on one single post here. Think about it, [...]
It’s Just Sad
I’d be laughing into my morning coffee if it wasn’t just so sad. I’m not talking about anything real, a sob story or anything like that, but something which appears to be real for some people and is sad simply because they really believe in it. And also a bit sad because one of the [...]
Do Spammers Read?
I was wondering, a brief thought inspired by a spam I just deleted, whether spammers can – or do – read. You wouldn’t believe the number of comments marked as spam which ask me which blogging platform I’m using – it’s a standalone WordPress – or what my theme is – Desk Mess Mirrored – [...]
So Many Unfulfilled Promises
I’ve been playing around with the settings for my web blog again, more out of necessity than anything else, and cursing the fact that I can’t simply write the necessary codes myself, design a good template and be done with it. The problem, for me if not for anyone else, is my mobile site. I [...]
Another Step: Adapt!
I seem to be on something of a run with these posts about writing blogs, whether they are of any use to another blog writer or just something they already know I can’t say, but perhaps… So, as third in the series, following on from Lost For Ideas and A Step Further, Adapt! I had [...]
Lost For Ideas
It’s a problem which simply will not go away, for some people. Not for everyone, but for a small number of people who are fairly new to this medium, to the art of writing, communicating through the written word, writing a journal, a diary or a web blog. It is a problem which few see [...]
2012: Looking Back
It has been a good year. No matter how I look at it, 2012 was a most enjoyable time all in all, with many new things experienced, older things enhanced and a few new paths trodden and explored. We have had the end of the world come and go, we have had security and personal [...]
A Quiet Day
I’m concentrating on other things today. Still here, but not quite here, if you can follow me! At the moment I am slowly working through all the articles I’ve published over the last couple years and copying them onto a new blog – attached to this one – which will then become by official link [...]
Mild Frustration
Yes, there is a problem with the transfer to the new server, but it isn’t the fault of Strato, rather the software transfer. You may well have seen it in some of the articles when I transferred servers within 1blu and you’ll probably see the same problem now with the new transfer. Some of the [...]
Happy Bunny Rabbit!
In case you didn’t notice, and really you shouldn’t have seen any change at all, this blog is now on the new server, is up and running and everything is honey and light at the moment. Well, almost. There are still a few things that I need to do, such as configuring the mobile domain [...]
What Follows … Preparation
You’ll probably notice that my posts over the next few days are mainly going to be new articles on Social Media and similar subjects rather than my usual – also highly popular – offerings of opinion, wonderful photographs to make your jaw drop and silly little Twitter things. There is a very good reason for [...]
The Second Experiment
Last month I completed my second writing experiment on this blog: writing of articles more than once a day on many different subjects. You may well remember that I had my first experiment back in May when I wrote sixty-two articles on predominantly news and current events subjects; often short and put together very quickly [...]
Famous After All?
I remain disinclined to believe that I have achieved any fame – Internet or otherwise – through this blog. It is simply a blog with a certain degree of success as far as visitors, page views and comments go. However, that may not be the case for other people out there who, not knowing the [...]
