Making Changes
I’ve been tweaking the blog a lot of late; some of it may have been noticeable (particularly for those on the RSS feed, which seems to pop out a “new post” notification every time I sneeze when...

Making changes: poll results

The end of October marks a year since I returned to Premium membership. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been mulling over whether to renew again or not. My reasons for re-upping to premium came...

My thanks
Shug Maitland contacted me earlier this evening to inform me that this blog had come top in a New World Notes reader’s poll of SL blogs. I’d be lying if I say I was unaware that such a poll had taken...

Blogging and me
I’m getting to this at least a week after everyone else – if not longer. The reason why is simple: I’ve actually had something of an internal fight with myself over whether to a) do it and b) press it....

Four whole years – WordPress and me
WordPress.com just dropped a notification on me. Apparently, I’ve now been with them for four years today! While I was aware I’d made the move to WordPress in 2009, exactly when that happened isn’t...

Heat and the perils of blogging from the UK
Since getting the new PC (did I mention I had a new PC? ;-)), I’ve been busy sorting various bits and pieces out – not so much installing software, but sorting through files, re-organising things, and...

2001 a blog odyssey
Without me actually realising it at the time, this blog passed the 2,000 published articles mark. I’m a bit boggled by that figure. It was in August 2012 that I reached the 1,000 published posts mark –...

Getting a little bookish with Berry
Strawberry Singh offered another of her Monday Memes. I don’t tend to do a lot of them, but every so often one grabs my attention and does prompt me to actually start, well, thinking. Her Book Meme is...

My blogging journey
Berry posted another of her Monday Memes on (oddly enough!) Monday April 28th. This one, called “my blogging journey“, is a follow-up to her “Why do I blog?” meme from 2013. As I responded to the...

How I’m able to blog so frequently …

One million and rising
I’ve been blogging since 2007; from then through 2009, it was purely a personal thing on Blogger (or was it Blogspot? Truth be told, I can’t remember now). In 2009 I moved everything to WordPress, but...

Eight years on
December 5th. Another day in SL. My 2,922nd being a small part of Second Life; eight years. Blimey. It’s been an interesting year – one I’ll doubtless delve into in some detail my end-of-year review;...

Giving the blog a face-lift
It’s a bit hard to miss, but yes, I’ve made a change to the theme underpinning this blog. It’s by no means a permanent change – that depends on the feedback I get. However, there are a number of...
