Blogging Benefits – Diversifying

By Sue Bride (Sueblimely) | Published: November 15, 2008

My lack of regular posting recently has not been due to any lack of motivation or ideas, rather a lack of time. Part of the reason for this is a consequence of blogging itself which has led on to other activities. Even the social networking aspects have had to take a back seat lately. I concentrate on Stumbleupon as a voting site, diigo for my bookmarking and belong to a few active Ning groups and forums. Digg has taken the back seat. I never really did enjoy using it so never put in the time necessary to make it work [...] Continue Reading…

New WordPress Theme

By Sue Bride (Sueblimely) | Published: November 14, 2007

I could wait no longer before putting my first mark on this blog’s theme. Apart from the theme being very basic the original theme it did not display the sidebar on post pages. The only way to navigate to other posts was to hit next /previous or to click on the title to go back to the home page.
