Burns night
Ladies and Gentlemen
- The Slashdot effect
- The Digg effect
- The lesser, spotted Kyte effect
- The incredibly secure Pete Finnigan effect
Please welcome, the latest addition to the effect family, the Doug Burns effect, which has increased traffic to this blog to new, world record highs and, even as you are reading this, is relentlessly propelling this humble blog towards 'Top WordPress.com blogs today'.
one less reason
...to resist the lure of WordPress.com - an (experimental) import utility to ease your migration from Blogger. See you on the other side.
Fame at last
For some reason, this blog now appears on One Million Blogs, which is derived from the Million Dollar Homepage that was in the news recently where a entrepeneurial UK student sold advertising space on a Web page for a dollar for each pixel.
And the funny thing is I never even paid my dollar. It must be the lovely image of the full moon (from the Regulus theme) that got me noticed.
And just in case the Web page gets a lot fuller than it is now, fifth from left on the second row.
Paul Stamatiou, I salute you
Have a look at this blog. Lots of interesting, varied material, frequently updated, nicely presented, excellent use of images, easy to navigate, searchable, well structured and very professional looking. All in all, an excellent blog.
This blog is by Paul Stamatiou, a 19 year old student. A few months ago, I happened across this article on Paul's blog when I first started blogging but stupidly forgot to bookmark it.
This is undoubtedly one of the best personal blogs I have seen. In fact, I was so impressed I did as he suggested and nominated Paul's blog for the 'Best Teen Blog' award.
Paul is looking for a job this summer. Somehow, I don't think he will have any trouble getting fixed up.
