Okay this is a blog slap down challenge.
Is your blog up to the grade to win a real award, judged by leading experts in their fields. Last year this blog was.
So this year I’m issuing a challenge to all Western Australian Bloggers can you out do this blog. Can you out do the man with no blog. Can you win a Western Australian Web Award.
There are a few rules, go over the WA Web Awards site and check them out.
The important one is the site must have been launched or relaunched during the last financial year (2007 to 2008).
When I started this blog 18 months back, the design and template was temporary at best. But as you do, I tweaked and tweaked. Added a theme randomiser, moved things around. Suddenly it’s 18 months on and the temporary design is looking like it’s in for the long haul. However overall the design just niggled at me. Sure the colours worked, but the layout frankly was just not me, it just didn’t resonate at all.
So last Sunday I quietly rolled out Manwithnoblog 2.0.
The Web is wonderful it’s full of all this content, all this information. It’s a copy writer or blogger’s dream. You just don’t have to do any work at all. It’s all laid out there for you, all you have to do is find it and take it.
Maybe just write a small introductory paragraph and then simply cut and paste the rest of the article you have found and publish. Easy!
Oh isn’t the web great. It allows such theft of someone else’s work. It’s fine to do isn’t it as the poor suckers put the information online so we could steal it… NO STOP IT!
Well a good friend Ben Winter-Giles has tagged me for an interesting meme. You have to document with a simple camera your journey home. I don’t often do memes, but this one is interesting in that it gives a snapshot of our lives in the web industry.
As many of you know I operate out of our home studio. It’s ideal for my freelance lifestyle. Plus all the trendy people are doing it now. So this meme is going to be different, I’m not technically going home from work as that type of photo-shoot would be just two or three pics at best.
