This was the Week that Was, Vol. 7
It’s Monday, so it’s time to wrap up the week in blogging.
Posts I liked -
- You may have missed this if you don’t follow my comments, but Cugat posted a link to an article by Michael Pollan, about what we eat. It’s a very good and thought-provoking article.
- David Airey has Seven blog mistakes to avoid. I know that I’m guilty of almost all of those mistakes, but working my way away from them.
- Mashable has 100+ Tools and Resources to make money online.
- If you’re looking to go into business for yourself, take some time and read about the most important thing you can do for the next hour. It’s about getting a plan together, and making the seemingly impossible possible.
- Juliet has some excellent questions that haven’t been asked by a lot of people in the Madeline McCann case.
- It may be the “dead” of winter Down Under, but it’s never to early to start thinking about the rites of spring, in preparation for the upcoming cricket season
- Donncha from In Photos has a picture of a sign at Blarney with a giant duck chasing the tourists
- Dawud Miracle has instigated a very interesting and lengthy discussion into whether you should date your blog. And no, not about going for dinner

New blogs this week in the US Blogs community at BumpZEE -
This week around the blog, you can tell I was out commenting, as 153 visitors dropped by, with Sunday actually being the busiest day, with 26 visitors. I’m not going to stop commenting.
The Alexa rating hasn’t updated yet though, so it will be a bit before I know the new number.
This week, I talked about the new(ish) grill. I also explained that computers shouldn’t be left in unfinished basements. Plus, I discussed my old love of overeating, and finally did that movie review that I had been touting for so long.
Coming up, I’ll have a couple of how-to guides for adding things to your blog, along with the Hump Day Hmm, the topic of which is still forthcoming. I’ll also have another movie review, likely on Friday.

Thanks very much for the link to my blog mistake article. I think it’s good to learn from others what not to do, perhaps moreso than what to do.
Of course there’s no substitute for learning from experience, but pointers are always helpful.
Bye for now.

David - You’re welcome. I agree that sometimes learning “anti-lessons” can be better than learning explicit lessons.
Julie - I like them too, it’s a great way to let y’all know what I’ve liked over the week, and what others have liked as well.
Katie - You’re welcome! I have to go through and add a lot of blogs to my sidebar, I’ve been getting behind on that!
Thanks y’all, hope you liked the posts you clicked on
