How to be a top 10 blogger without losing your self respect
Anyone who raises their head above the parapet to reach the top of their field will feel loved and apreciated on the way up. But at the top things change. Suddenly, the oh-so adoring crowd start to expect and demand more. They only want perfect, flawless, ageless stars. Well at least until the focus...

2 in 1 blog! 9 great (non-top10) blogs from last 24 hrs + positive thinking
People who always look back are done for. Think about it. If you step onto the road while you are thinking about something which happened earlier you will get flattened. I have read dozens of posts here this morning and I am left feeling disturbed. Yeah, yeah I know that many of have got me down as...

Can we learn anything from the BN experience? Try this top 10 blog
There is one thing I know for certain. That I know nothing, well maybe not nothing, but next to nothing. Harvey reminded me of something today which is that the more experience we have, the less we know. In a comment to my previous post here, Harvey said. "It embarrasses me to recall the days when I...

If I disagree with you it's probably because I can't stand you
Disagreeing with people around here can be fraught with difficulty. You state an alternative point of view and it is assumed that you dislike the other blogger. Why is it so tough to deal with the fact that others have a different opinion?So what. When if it turns into a bigger discussion if two...

Why I don't give two hoots about BN's code. Who needs it?
Don't you love office life? While the big cheese fuss about us dotting an "i" and crossing a "t", they miss the big picture and make whopping big errors in judgment and allow our business competitors to trample us. Meanwhile, people here are still whining about the New Year axing of the twice-weekly...

I'll tell you what to write and I won't insult you or send you up
Bloggers often ask me what I think they should write. My frequent response is "Come up with your own ideas." If I can do that so can anyone. Though occasionally I even wonder about that. I am not sitting here waiting with baited breath for your next post. It doesn't work like that. You have to earn...

Target: Bloggers who are always serious writers
It seems we have more serious writers in our midst than I thought Yesterday I decided to weigh in as a top 10 blogger and join the calls for better standards and less drivel on BN. But as I commented to Blog-rage yesterday, the post was not a quote from me but a combination of all the remarks and...

Target: Serious writers who are disappointed in BN
"I came to blogging because I am a serious writer. This appeared to be a good place for me to develop my writing and to find an audience. I want to make contacts and have my work appraised by experienced writers. But all I have found here are a bunch of high school rejects playing pranks on one...

Subject: New and overlooked bloggers
and bloggers who feel they are ranked too low. Have you noticed how civilized Sunday blogging is? Many of our most prolific and controversial bloggers do not appear on a Sunday because they are 24/6 kind of people who observe the Sabbath. But some bloggers appear here only on the weekends because of...

Target: Weekend blogging
It is true that weekends are for reflection, recovery, relaxation and...errr.. rapping. Some people blog heavily on the weekend as their work keeps them too busy during the week. Others are not here much at weekends and never on a Sunday. As a result weekend blogs have a different feel about them....
