I just returned from reading Candid Quips, a blog by fellow Postie. I love to read Postie blogs because I feel a connection with them. Anyway, of the times that I have visited this blog, I don’t even know the author’s name. He’s “admin”

One thing though, the way he bashed Britney Spears in a few posts make interesting read. But I do pity the lady, you know? She seems to have everything anyone could ask for but she’s not happy so, I don’t know what’s wrong with the world.

If you want to read blogs, do check out Candid Quips. Bookmark it, subscribe to his feed, you know the works! You will be entertained!

Some months back, I was pondering if I should turn my comments off. I read that it’s not a good sight to have ZERO comment on every blog post which is expected for a new blog. Heck even old blogs are like that too, you know?

But then I thought I would rather not since some people may want to contact me and since the day I started posting on this blog until today, I have not implemented the Contact Me form. Another thing which I want to implement is the email alert for commenters but it has been half a year already and I still have not gotten down to it. This is beyond procrastination already. I am aghast at myself!

But recently, spam comments have been getting out of hand. I know, I know, there are anti-spam plug-in and stuff but if I could delay this long for the above two tasks, I could also be dragging implementing anti-spam. I read that we could get the free key to Akismet by registering for a free wordpress.com blog but I would hate to do that for every blog that I am hosting. That would be so selfish. I hope there is a better, free way. There has got to be!

One of the tricks I read is that we could go back and turn of the comment for those particularly notorious posts. Yes, I do notice a handful of them are attracting spam comments like crazy. I wonder why!

After turning off comment for those posts, spam has stopped coming for those posts. Let’s see how this goes. Don’t worry though! These are all old posts which are already archived. You can still comment on new posts, if you want. I won’t bite!

While blog hopping just now, I came across this blog MBHoy.com with the unique tagline “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”. I don’t know what it means but it sure will stick in my mind for a long time to come. Anyway, the blogosphere isn’t that big. I think it was just last week that I came across a blog reviewing MBHoy.com.

Well, in one post, the author, Matt, tells of his experience on how he won a new iPod in a Coca-Cola SMS contest. WON A NEW IPOD!!!! And then he said that he sold it for £215/$430. Can you believe it?? I never sell anything that I have won before because they have sentimental value.

But Matt thinks otherwise. Too bad

Something came up recently that caused me to be so busy I had to stop my networking and blog hopping activities for the time being. I was making good progress going down the Do Follow blogroll but now that my blog hopping exercise has been halted for almost three weeks now, I may have to start from the top once again *sigh*

I wonder if I could finish backlinking from them all before the upcoming Google Page Rank update. Don’t forget, I still have to give some time for Google to spider all the new links.

Oh my God, there are so many things to do and so little time. I told a friend that I only sleep a total of four hours every night and he went like, “WTF?” Last year, I was surviving on 5.5 hours a night. What about next year?

I am always chasing time and trying to pack in as many tasks into a day as possible and building my blogs trying to gain that one or two more Page Rank points that seems so easy for some people to achieve but so difficult for me. Blogging is so much more than writing quality posts

Currently, no matter how busy I am, I just have to MAKE time to do a little more networking. I hope that the Google Page Rank freaking come already and get me out of the suspense!
