Yeah, I updated my blog but didn't want to post cos I didn't want it to be a list of updated blogs instead of actual chat about blogs.

I'm quite sporadic in my blog writing especially at the moment with heavy uni workload.

Here's a blog I love - it's an amateur photographer who takes a snap every day and then posts a little bit about it http://pixbyshumbles.wordpress.com/

I approve of this idea! I'll also give those blogs mentioned above a look over.

I'v also started my own blog -> http://learyslounge.wordpress.com/

It's dedicated to my writing, I'd really appreciate some feedback on what I write, I'll post more as I get time, as the blog's main aim is to help me improve my craft.

+1 for sticky!

IOL, your poetry is very nice. I don't find my mind travelling else where when I read. I have that issue with everything, could be add, ha. Anyway, lovely imagery, you seem to know how to set a scene. Dust and Escapists Woods are really up my street.

Hey - I'm not really a poetry head. IN fact I can't make head nor tail of poetry but I'll post a link up to your site, you're at 27 posts now anyway.

Starting my own blog, any other fellow newbies want to collaborate?

I've just started blogging last weeks and I think it might be cool if we kind of make friends. Do favours like comment on each other's posts and all that Just if anyone's interested email me lisaclareobrien@yahoo.ie - no spam please!

Hi hcass,

I read your "Did you Ever . . ." article from May 10, 2012, and really enjoyed it. Great timing.

I noticed you had 18 followers, which is great, but . . . how come you don't post more often? We post pretty well daily, but sometimes the posts take a day or 2 to think through, as they are complex and form part of a storyline, which is actually truth dressed as storyline. Somtimes we post 2 or 3 times per day as a fireworks display.

If you post way more often, and subscribe to "pingomatic" to broadcast your blog, it will get more hits and visits. Funnily enough, we have zero followers, but we have gone from off the radar-range when we began on Jan 16, 2011 to on the radar-range in late 2011 (24 millionth most popular site) to 21, 14, 7, and lately 3 millionth most popular, dipping to 2.8 millionth by page views or something like that - it's a little confusing to explain hits/visits/pages/files.

The trick is that if you say enough word strings, you will meet more search criteria. We have almost 400 posts and almost 5000 comments so far.

I know, I know, I really have to get my finger out and start posting again. I've been so very lazy lately. I think it's a bit of a crash after finishing Uni and spending the last month constantly writing to get work done. I am going to start back asap. Thanks for the tips!

You have to admit at least they're /efficient/ whirling death traps.
