Back in the saddle
Well, I'm back at the blogging again, it would appear. So, I can maybe go back and write about some of the things which have happened in the time between I paused the bloggery and resumed it.
Looking at March, I was clearly in an odd mood. On the 8th of March, I hated everyone. On the 16th March, I loved everyone. The mood swings are doing nobody any good.
A quick word of warning, though. I had my writing bug pretty much stamped on by the article I was writing for Micro Mart. That article is out this week (issue 889). I blogged while I was writing Around The World in 80 Websites. The 7000 words of copy are not to be found on the blog, though. They are to be found in 12 pages of Micro Mart. 12 pages! Wow - a personal record. It's also a record for the magazine. They even upped the fee. Bless them.
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson from all of this. It was one of the most demanding home-projects I've taken on (outside of performing). It took many many hours. But, no. Within a day of submitting my final copy, I agreed to another web-trawler of an article - The World's Worst 100 Websites. D'oh!
On the up side, this latter project hasn't got the bizarre arbitrary one-per-country distinction, so I can look for sites of note, rather than just "anything I can get my hands on that's vaguely interesting".
I'd recommend following some of the links (if not all) on my Around The World site. There are some points of interest.
