Going to kick off this week's new blog posts with my weekly links post.

I guess you comment if you want to BloggerAJD! Sometimes I read and have nothing much to add - sometimes I write comment after comment!

It all depends on the content I suppose.

So, I better add my latest A Love Story It's a very romantic ode to the love of my life.

I only post a comment if I have something to say. Don't feel intimidated. Many of us are fairly new bloggers.

Dilly
please post the "I am boring myself" rant on your blog. I LOVED it. Particularly the Tupperware bit. You might get a lot of hits from Tupperware fans.

Thanks for alerting me to the featured blogger thing.

Mme L - Sorry, I've had a hell of a day and have only just come back to this -that's really weird! It must just hate you or something! :P

AJD - hello! Smile

You don't have to comment on everything, but it's more about this being a bit of an interactive thread. If you're on the network, all your posts get sent to the blogger network homepage anyway, so there's no need to post here too, apart from we're kind of posting to kind of friends because we chat on this topic IYSWIM.

btw,

I have had a few hits from there, but by far get most hits from this thread.

Keeping this thread as a chat/linky thread is good.

Oh, and sorry you feel intimidated! Sad

@Dilly - do what MmeLindor said - it was a very funny comment!

My blog party is open if anyone would like to link up a craft, recipe, home projects, etc. I have gotten a great response from mnetters so far

MmeLindor. · 30/09/2011 20:55

Fucking hell, Shirley. That is BRILLIANT.

BloggerAJD · 30/09/2011 21:01

Just thought, I should probably change to a bit less wanky username for my bloggy stuff. I only thought I'd be using this one for about two posts, but blogging has drawn me in...

SenseofEntitlement · 30/09/2011 21:04

Here I am again (AJD)...like the new name? twirls

Is actually pretty boring, being the name of my blog and all, but is less "randomly generated" than BloggerAJD.

SenseofEntitlement · 30/09/2011 21:17

On the subject of names, if I change the URL of my blog on blogspot (ie it would be SenseofEntitlement.blogspot.com/ instead of aliciajduffy.blogspot.com/) what happens if someone clicks on the old link? Does it go nowhere, or would it still link to my blog for a while?

MmeLindor. · 30/09/2011 21:20

Good new name, Sense. Your old links would go nowhere, I think.

You could set up a new name and import your old posts. That might be easiest.

I'm clicking on queenmaeve now for another one of her brilliant blog parties...

ShirleyKnot · 30/09/2011 21:26

Oh and x posted - love your bog Sense (I presume you know how amazingly apt that is for this website? Wink Grin)

ShirleyKnot · 30/09/2011 21:27

BLOG not bog - You probably have a loveable bog too. Hmm

DillyTante · 30/09/2011 22:02

Thanks for the replies, will reconsider the tupperware post! Glad I didn't offend anyone with my post about chatting. Senseofentitlement, great name change, glad you are diving into this thread. I already like you as 'wanky' is one of my absolute favourite words!

SenseofEntitlement · 30/09/2011 22:04

Oh yes, Shirley. MN inspired the whole thing!

Dilly - Wanky should be in the top ten of all words. It just covers so much :)

sorry, link posting not working very well...

DillyTante · 30/09/2011 22:14

Queenmaeve, thanks for mentioning my yarn bombing Thanks. I've got another one queued up, probably for tomorrow night...

ShirleyKnot · 30/09/2011 22:19

Dilly, that Yarn Bombing post was really excellent. You've earned a place in my blogroll on that alone (hmm that sounds like I'm bestowing a great favour, I don't mean it that way obv!)

Amodmillymum · 01/10/2011 00:04

Godamn new blog is live!!!

Am peeing my pants with excitement as my spangly new blog is live!! hurrah! lots of teething troubles and typos and weird formatting fonts and odd ness so pls forgive any mistakes. I love it - I am so excited - it has taken a year to get here! Just sort of bouncing like a child really!!

pyjamasinbananas · 01/10/2011 00:12

Here's my newest one. Fuelled by the worry that christmas is fast approaching and I'm a tad on the broke side!! glittersequinsandsparkles.blogspot.com/2011/09/boot-sale-challenge.html

PetiteRaleuse · 01/10/2011 07:29

milly that is a beautiful new blog!

pyjamas don't remind me of xmas. This year will be the first in many my DH and I are actually going to see relatives. Normally we're all bah humbug about it but now we have a baby we don't apparently have any choice...

DillyTante · 01/10/2011 07:58

Senseofentitlement, I was reading your blog and it reminded me of a section I heard on the r4 show More of Less. It was about the reality of people who chose benefits as a lifestyle choice and busted the myth that that's where loads of our tax's go. I found it really interesting and you might get a post out of it. I searched for aaaaages to figure out which one it was. You can download it as a pod cast. If you go to iTunes and under pod casts search for More or Less, it's the 24th September episode. Hope you find it interesting.

SenseofEntitlement · 01/10/2011 08:34

Thanks Dilly, will have a listen :)
