By AndrewBoyd • Jan 2nd, 2008 • Category: Aussie Blogger, Blogging tips

My blogroll has blogs I like to read. I have a few hidden that I like to read, that I don’t feel I want to promote. I have no niche on my blog, I do it for my own […]

I took yesterday off from blogging entirely - well, almost, I did read some feeds and checked out how Facibus On Blogging and this blog are doing on the Top 100 Australian Blogs list. November was a long month for me in many ways, and the break yesterday was interesting in that I was sure […]

By AndrewBoyd • Dec 2nd, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

I’d planned to get the NaBloPoMo roundup post for On Blogging Australia out this afternoon.
I listed the 27 members of The Aussies that I did get to profiling in November - so far so good - and then went to the NaBloPoMo homepage - this is what I saw:

Bugger. NaBloPoMo is hosted by Ning, and […]
