Right, bit of a change today, as like every month for the past, err, month, I’m going to thank the top commenters and advertisers, by encouraging you to visit them.
- Guy posted a picture of him “Following Through”. Incidentally Guy, did you have a good sleep on the couch, it looked to me like you did!
- Han teaches you how to make a Wordpress theme.
- Debbie will try and Outdo You in Coffee Shops.
- Sarah (sorry it’s not the correct link, but I do know it is you!) finds a Firefox extension to block out rubbish music.
- Rich Minx talks about the dangers of blogging with your pants down
- Ryan is changing his blog design. Good luck with it!
- Geedos celebrates One Year Living in Australia
- Celeste is taking her blog in a new direction.
- Bush Mackel talks about the DMOZ Scandal involving Shoemoney. Personally I think it’s a fucking disgrace and shows everything that’s wrong with the open source community
Also, I’d like to thank Rhys - who really should change his name to appear in the “Top Commenters List” - for commenting loads as well. Not sure where he fits into the grand scheme of things.
I would also like to thank my direct sponsor from this month - Blogduck. He bought an Adicon on this blog, which is proving for the icons on there to be a nice little way to send traffic to blogs. Below is a heatmap generated from Crazy Egg over the course of a week (15th August 2007 - 22nd August 2007) to see how well many clicks they received (I’ve also included my Text Link Ads Links as a comparison).
The reddy colours mean more clicks, obviously.
So if you want to be included in next months post, either buy some advertising on here, or comment loads.
Right, lets finish on some questions (Google and you’re gay):
- Which English league team’s football ground is closest to the River Mersey?
- You are watching 2nd of May play 3rd of February in a football match. Which country are you in?
- Which English football club is considered to be the oldest football club in the world? (This was in the Rhos Fynach Quiz on Tuesday. If you answer what people believe the answer to be, I will explain why it’s wrong).

I had a very nice sleep thank you - i heard you made a new German friend! Apparently there’s picture evidence? I’d like to have a look - i’ve always wondered what i look like when i sleep!
As for the questions - i have a feeling Tranmere is the football club? the others im not sure about and won’t google then put answers up!!
Thats pretty darn cool that those favicons/adicons are getting clicked so much. Will have some good reading for tomorrow!
Glad to see the adicons are working, in fact they seem to represent a sensible investment so far - well done
all I need now is for someone to buy an adicon/anything grr! I’m gonna make decent WP themes and sell em methinks!
Cheers for the mention - I enjoy reading and commenting on this blog so keep up the good work.
As for the questions (I love a quiz - especially footy related!), I reckon as follows:
1. Tranmere Rovers
2. Haven’t got a clue! Will take a guess at Portugal!
3. I thought it was Notts County but please explain why this is wrong - probably to do with the league it was formed in or something
Ahhh so that’s why I’ve never appeared up there. Heh, it all makes sense now.
I was considering making myself Rhys v2.0 - but then I remembered that TV show Jake 2.0 and I’m just not that cool. Or geeky. No, that’s a lie. I am. I’ll prove it after the weekend.
Can’t answer the football questions.
I’m too stoked about the Adelaide Crows making the finals tonight WOO!!
1 - Stockport County
2 - Hmmm no idea. I’ve never even heard of a team called ‘2nd of may’
3 - I’ll go for Stoke
I love the adicons! They are very cute, at first I didn’t know what they are. I’m trying to design a button for my blog at the moment and once it is completed I’m planning on having it advertise for me all over the place. Now I can add this blog to the list! Thanks!
