In other words, our lives are enriched with reality, that we don't really need that extra edge to live within the x-factor!<br /><br /><a href="http://40hoursoftv.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">40-hours of TV</span> </a>exposes the reality behind the reality of things. Hmmm makes me wonder why would anyone blog about an illusion. Go figure, and drop by to experience the edge at 40-Hours {btw, is that 40 hours weekly or monthly?}<br /><br /><a href="http://abundancesecrets.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">The Secrets of Abundance</span></a> is within you. Go deeper than skin deep to figure that out! Truly a marketing blog on how to make money {strike that last sentence will ya? Its a site on how you can spend your money and making somebody else richer!}.<br /><br />First you invest in all the kits, thereafter you sell or re-sell it, and wait for the cheques to come in. Du-h? If you wanna sell something, create that niche first, be different from the masses, and you are! You are different! Sell yourself first! Talk about branding, and lovemarking! This site is for people who like to spend money without thinking.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mollten.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Mollten</span> </a>promises the young blokes at Cirencester College something. Unless they figure out that something, they will bore me to tears! Site design is better than the normal templates you have for wordpress, but they can be a bit more creative can't they? It's afterall, Cirencester College. For goodness sake write something! Don't talk about BBC - they've already made their name! Write about you, your community, your pet peaves, your scandal in the gym a la Boston Public. Goodness gracious me, you've got talents, just use it - look out with your eyes, and write with the heart. Good reporting is a thing of the past. These days, we want to cry our hearts out when we read. Not scroll down and ...<em><span style="color:#ff6600;">when is this page gonna end</span><span style="color:#ff6600;">?</span></em><br /><br />I must be the least patriotic person on planet earth! <a href="http://matakecil.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">MataKecil's</span></a> {literally translated from Malay, means small eyes!} blog is about blogging. How to blog, how to make money {okay - let's get serious here please - you can't make something dead come to life now can you?} how to love Malaysia {ewwww wait - are you being paid to suck up to everything Asian?} No... its a good blog, but I want to see something extraordinary! I've seen too much commonness, that I fear the blogosphere is turning mundane. Please don't bore me to tears - I can do that on my own!<br /><br />For the Members of Blogshares that have participated and are not listed here. Expect an email soon!<br /><br />For the rest of you listed here - please, you've got talents - make it different. If everyone writes with the same tone, uses the same templates, and take no effort then, blogging is akin to just jotting down your ego tripping life fantastic.AAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284242562467459132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13809227.post-1122701742616020882005-07-29T22:25:00.000-07:002005-07-29T22:35:42.616-07:00Spyware Informer<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/1600/Award3.gif"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/320/Award1.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/1600/spynetwork.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/320/spynetwork.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Alex is a sight for soreeyes! And I meant that in a very delightful way. He knows a lot of things - either he reads like a bookworm, or he's going to take over my designation as an Infobot ;-) And his site, The Spyware Informer, hosted on Yahoo 360 is a welcome change. Although I must say the blog facilities on Yahoo is not appealing for Reviewers like me. I dislike the idea of having to sieve through my blackbook for previous passwords just so I can read about the writer. Thank Gawd, there's blogger, or ... WordPress.<br /><br />About this enigmatic personae...and in his own words<br /><blockquote><span style="color:#ff6600;"><em>Alex Morganis is the webmaster of four technology and computer news blogs including AMCP Computer Privacy TECH BLOG. He was very recently nominated for Microsoft's "Team 99" to test and blog about the next-generation OS, Longhorn.

Media & Publishers, and writers should take heed. The Buzz of the week/month/year is going places, and should not be blogging! S/He should be hired for his incredulous talents! Buzzer is not only sexy, I presume its a uomo in design. He won a smile from my lips, not because I adore Italia, but because of the neatest design on planet blogger!<br /><br />Italy Is Falling wins the BBS Award, and you may visit it <a href="http://italyfalling.blogspot.com/2005/07/faq-like-i-though-you-were-talking.html"><span style="color:#ff6600;">here!</span></a>AAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284242562467459132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13809227.post-1121779721877652632005-07-19T06:21:00.000-07:002005-07-19T06:29:50.356-07:00LCMI don't believe that your sexual preference should be made an issue. Neither should it be aired out of the closet. Lesbien C'est Moi's site is just that. Its already tough <em>being</em>, being <em>human</em>, and if you need to assert your sexuality, you might as well be a Politician, and make money out of it.<br /><br />No seriously!<br /><br />I'm mentionning LCM's site for the many who are inclined therein, but too much text, and "anger" is not the objective of this site. Nor do we propagate that.<br /><br />In case of doubt, here is the <em><a href="http://bestbloggers.blogspot.com/2005/06/about-bbs.html"><span style="color:#ff6600;">About</span></a></em> BBS Award for your reading pleasure.<br /><br />Visit LCM's site <a href="http://lesbiencestmoi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">here</span></a>AAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284242562467459132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13809227.post-1121778994201906642005-07-19T06:05:00.000-07:002005-07-19T06:16:34.210-07:00Mrs Mogul<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/1600/Award1.gif"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/200/Award1.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/1600/mrsmogul2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/320/mrsmogul1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />In my opinion, Mrs Mogul is a HotBabe - A Hottie!

So Miller <em><span style="color:#ff6600;">needs</span></em> to get the masthead linked to his main page {which presumably is index.php}. Albeit I'm not the only one who's looking for that link that will zap me back to the main page.<br /><br />Apart from that, this is a fine example of how business and pleasure integrates and sashay to the rhythm of the world wicked web ;-)<br /><br />Unfortunately he missed it by a decimeter. He would have gotten the BBS Award if.... he removed most of the buttons, and put in what is only feasible to make his page outstanding. Apart from the design, his words do indeed come from the heart. Yes, get rid of the buttons. You're selling yourself too thin. You've got good real estate space on your domain.

Now why would anyone in Advertising be blogging his hearts' out? Word it Mac, it'll come out perfect one day. Taglines and useless advice is what the Ad world is all about - let's hear it from Jodster.<br /><br />I have to re-read the lines many times. The way he begins a sentence - Bold - That makes a "statement" so to speak - None of the rigmaroles of creativity, but very down to earth human writing here.<br /><br />I've a fetiche for beautiful men, but he's taken, and he's also in Advertising - which accounts for quite a lot.<br /><br />They're all crazy!!<br /><br />Check out Useless Advice from Useless Men, by visiting his About Page <a href="http://getsaved.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><em><span style="color:#ff6600;">here</span></em></a>.AAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284242562467459132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13809227.post-1121155823196456002005-07-12T01:03:00.000-07:002005-07-12T01:22:39.670-07:00I Revere<center><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/1600/irevere.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: center; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="I Revere" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2218/28/320/irevere.jpg" border="0" /></a></center><br /><br />That horizontal bar annoys me. I don't dislike animations, I just dislike something which is not feasible in a blog. If you're on broadband it's feasible because you don't have to wait for the images to appear, and it doesn't spoil your "mood" for reading. If you're on dialup, you might as well forget it. So I Revere, change is a must! If I can click that huge horizontal bar, and it leads me to some Kingdom, by all means - use that template, otherwise, it's a waste of real-estate {if you know what I'm talking about}<br /><br />I'd expect more still images. There's too much words, and unless you're a writer or media person like me, then by all means - blab to your heart's content. A blog is not just a blog, its 5 percent writing, 80% flauting your skills, and fifteen percent unveiling the hearts.<br /><br /><a href="http://irevere.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Drop by</span> </a>for some Arab content if you read Arabic.

I've seen that he has changed his blogging template as well, perhaps to accomodate that "Space is Good" - Advertising rule we learn in Advertising Schools.<br /><br />Until he plumps his blog with prime content, Anderson gets a <a href="http://joeanderson.co.uk/blog/" target="_blank">link</a>.
