Is this some sort of automatically generated blog?  Anyone know?

Boring search terms

Posted by: Sally on: February 17, 2009

Since I started this blog in September 2008, I’ve only had 13 people arriving here via a search engine.  I can’t believe it’s so few, as I still get around 10 hits from search engines PER DAY on my old blog (which I haven’t written since June last year, incidentally!)
In case anyone is interested, here are the [...]

Failure

Posted by: Sally on: January 24, 2009

By the way, I realise that I’ve failed miserably at my attempt to blog everyday for a month.  Just been so busy in the last few weeks – no time to write.  Oh well!  Maybe it will be easier to Twitter …

I’ve got six minutes to write a post so that I don’t fail my month long challenge to write a post a day for a month.  But I have nothing to write and I’m also really tired so I’m off to bed.

Blog challenge, day 2

Posted by: Sally on: January 2, 2009

Here I am, day 2 of my challenge to write everyday for a month.  The wonderful Brennig Jones has kindly offered to provide me with exercises to help improve my writing style.  I’ve no idea what that involves, but it may be that’s what I end up publishing here (if they are suitable or if [...]

My aim is to improve my writing skills (?!).  I am not sure if this is something that [...]

Feeds – a question

Posted by: Sally on: November 19, 2008

Bear with me.  I am new to feeds and RSS.
I have subscribed to reader to help manage the growing number of blogs that I read.  I added my own blog to the list, and worryingly, it turns out that two posts that I published then deleted have appeared on the feed.  (Actually I decided to change the original post to anonymise [...]

Hello! I’m back

Posted by: Sally on: September 14, 2008

I have a new blog – finally!  It’s taken me ages to settle on a name/ web address etc.  Many of the addresses I wanted were taken BY PEOPLE WHO WROTE ONLY ONE OR TWO POSTS AND THEN GAVE UP.  Grr. 
I may import some of my better (in my opinion) posts from my previous blog, cos [...]
