Reflections on a long NaBloPoMo

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 30th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger, Blogging tips

The end of the month has caught me short. It’s been a long week at work and my plans to get all of The Aussies profiled here have gone to crap. I did get more than half profiled.
There’s been a lot of comments from people on various blogs about the pressure of daily posting. This […]



Blogger Profile: Gillian Polack and Food History

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 29th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Gillian Polack writes Food History.

I met Gillian a few years back - she was giving a talk on Arthurian legends that I attended.
She describes herself as:
… joyously addicted to food, history and writing. Her favourite recreational activity is to marvel over obscure spices and seek out strange recipes from long forgotten cookbooks. She spends the […]



Blogger Profile: Sue and Blogging Sueblimely

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Sue writes Blogging Sueblimely.

 
Sue is another person who has commented here - it is great to receive comments and I feel a bit weird when a day goes by without a reader comment (thankfully this is a rare occurance now that I am back to a daily posting schedule). Anyhow, I digress - this […]



Blogger Profile: Thirumurugan and Keep Walking!

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 27th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Thiru writes Keep Walking! 

 Thiru is a regular reader here at On Blogging Australia - I thought that it was a shame that he had no friends on NaBloPoMo so I added him. Everyone needs friends
He writes about things that he is thankful for, lots of  jokes, and the A-Z of his life.
Thiru’s about me […]



NaBloPoMo enters last week

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 26th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

I’m not sure what to do - NaBloPoMo finishes up this week. I’d intended to profile all members of The Aussies, but we’re fast running out of November.
I have got to 24 members. Not including myself, that is another 17 to go.
What I will do, at the very least, is include a link to all […]



Blogger Profile: Mad Goat Lady

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 25th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Mad Goat Lady writes madgoatlady.com.

I’ve kept goats in years past (Saanens and Angoras) and I’d agree you do need to be a little mad to keep them
Mad Goat Lady’s blog is full of practical advice for Christmas - both in saving your sanity and your pets. She also shares things that get her […]



Blogger Profile: Elizabeth and Scarlet Words

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 24th, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Elizabeth writes Scarlet Words.

Scarlet Words is easy to read - not because it is dumbed down, but because it is engaging.
You can find out more about Elizabeth’s photography, her sense of humour, and her cool stuff (I especially liked the book autopsies).
Please visit Elizabeth’s blog and her NaBloPoMo homepage.



Evil Election Eve Blog Carnival

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 23rd, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Laurel Papworth just raised the question on Twitter - with the media blackout now in place for tomorrow’s Australian Federal election, is there a blackout on non-media blogs as well?
I don’t know - truth be told, I’d be surprised if there was.
Reframing this like crazy, I’d like to propose an Evil Election Eve blog carnival!
Possible […]



Blogger Profile: Karen Cheng and Snippets of Life

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 23rd, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Karen Cheng writes Snippets of Life.

Karen writes about a large variety of topics, from recipes and her children to, well, mucus (and you didn’t gross me out, Karen, in the past I’ve slaughtered large animals for food AND hand-washed cloth nappies!)
There is also a touching story about the weekly dates she still has […]



Blogger Profile: Tara and Should You Eat That?

By AndrewBoyd • Nov 22nd, 2007 • Category: Aussie Blogger

Tara writes Should You Eat That?

Tara is a nutrition student with Type 1 diabetes. She writes about cooking and nutrition - and her life. As a frustrated recipe collector myself, it is good to see someone who can write about them regularly.
Some recipes I’d like to try for myself sometime soon are:

Mediterranean Lamb Pizza,
Ratatouille,
Chicken […]
