Blogs of Interest: An Update

By The WebNo Comments

Every now and then I go in search of new blogs to read. So I’ve scoured the web and added some new blogs to the Blogs of Interest section on the sidebar. The new blogs are:

  • Dead Robot – A blog of a gay man, look good so thought I’d add it.
  • Follow My Bliss – A blog of an American comedian who quit her desk job to follow her bliss. Loved the idea of following her bliss or what makes her happy. And since she is doing what makes her happy and my main mission in life is to be happy, she was a must have addition to my Blogs of Interest.
  • Occult View – A pagan blog – A pagan blog that looks really interesting. Love the background half day and half night. Thought it was worth keeping an eye on.
  • Eavesdropping in the Boys Club – A blog written by a man, for women to know what men think about dating and relationships. As a “reformed womanizer, a liar and a cheat” he has some really interesting blog posts.
  • Curly Hair and False Eyelashes – A blog of a 27 year old woman with secondary breast cancer. Blog posts often inspiring, sometimes funny and always worth a read.

    Now blogs that have been removed from my Blogs of Interest section of the sidebar and the reasons why:

  • Mike Lawson’s Blog – He very rarely blogs these days and when he does it seems to be nothing but a negative rant. Whereas at first, I thought it was cleverly, witty and well argued now it just seems like a bitter-queen-rant. No offence to the author just my opinion
  • Thoughly Good Blog – The blogger loves the Proms and I have no issue with that, it’s just I don’t. And these days it’s all he seems to blog about, apart from his thoughts of occasional bits of news. He’s grown his blog and changed it to attract a certain audience and I feel like I’ve been left behind. Again, no offence intended to the author.
  • And I Am Sombody – Removed as my Norton comes up saying it’s got webrooter attacks on the site and that it’s blocked them. For safety I’ve not included the link here. Plus he never updates. It’s ashame as I used to enjoy reading his blog and it never used to have webrooter attacks on it.
  • All the others that I haven’t mentioned have remained on from my last update and are ones that are constant. Ones that I continue to enjoy to read. So go and check some of them out.

    Happy Reading,

    Antony

    The Guardian’s Charlie Brooker

    By The WebNo Comments

    I recently discovered The Guardian’s Charlie Brooker. I enjoy reading his weekly online articles often about TV, politics or what ever he feels he wants to write about. I like that his own voice comes through in his writing, which he seems to achieve by using wit and humor.

    I read one of his articles entitled Forget those creative writing workshops. If you want to write, get threatened, where he said if you want to get that idea for a novel actually on paper you need to get yourself a deadline. Good advice Charlie! I need to get myself a deadline if I want to write three short stories before the end of this year (see Goals for 2010).

    I’ve added Charlie to my ‘Blogs of Interest’ as although, strictly speaking, not a blog, it is something I take pleasure from when reading. With the ‘Blogs of Interest’ in mind, I’ve removed Wyatt’s Blog as he’s stopped blogging and turned in to an online shopping store.

    New Blogs

    By The WebNo Comments

    Observant readers will notice I have added some new blogs to my Blogs of Interest. Here are the new additions and why I’ve added them:

    Amber Benson’s Offical Blog, Amber Benson is well known for her role as Tara in Buffy, but she’s also a talented writer and director. I love reading Amber’s view of the world it’s kind and honest.

    Boing Boing, a random blog. Lots of pictures and videos, love the randomness.

    Over Your Head is a blog from a gay guy in London. He blogs about anything he sees as relevant so it’s quite eclectic. A good read.

    Stephen Fry’s blog, OK not a new read for me! I’ve been reading Stephen’s blog for a while. Like his critical eye on the world and his informed well-thought-out views.

    So if I’m not updating enough to feed your blog fix, please visit one of the above blogs.

    Write soon,

    Antony
