I figured as so many of us here seem to have blogs these days that it's hard to keep track, so I'll continually update this post here with the blogs of people that have them.
If you have a blog, post your blog below and I'll add it into this post :).

You might want to have a look for a thread started by DRZ which had a lot of urls in there :)

Nokkon - I love your website mate.
Sorry for the thread hijack, I would like to add blog to my Website, but keeping within the format. I Guess it's just a MySQL Database and a php application. Any pointers?

It's a wordpress blog which I edited the crap out of and redid a whole load of the graphics for. If you have any knowledge of .css then you'll be fine :).
Glad you like it.

Bah, missed that in my tired state last night :(.
Can I just integrate that into my existing website?
Yup :) The wordpress site has some great guides on how to do it. Really simple to do.

I don't have a blog and this might already be something you are aware of but in the blurb to your blog it cuts off part of your name, see image below. :)
http://www.semi-pro.co.uk/Nokkon_blog.jpg
It doesn't here, using FF3.0.3.
Sounds like the beginning of an irritating problem if some browsers are ok and others not :D
Nokkon's blog does here, also using FF3.0.3
Pretty easy to fix though. That box is in a <div id="azul"> which has a fixed height (177px). I'll freely admit that fixed size (particularly height) blocks are one of my pet peeves (even though I use them myself).

It's IE 7 as you might be able to guess from the screenshot, just thought I'd mention it anyway but if it works ok for the people who use it most no need to worry unduly if it isn't an easy fix. :)

Bloging is dead, radio4 said so this morning, apparently its all about Twitter now

What do radio 4 know??? :p
Seriously though Twitter is great for small updates but not for longer posts. I see Twitter as a simple way to keep in touch with people and let them know if you are going somewhere so they can meet you.
Surprisingly Radio 4 are on the ball there. Twitter is gaining some serious ground now. Its had some issues in the past with downtime and things but they seem to be ok now. Its first real break, I think, was SXSW in 06. Lots of people using it allowing others who couldn't attend to feel like they were there. Real time conversations and things. Very popular with social media specialists. Its got a big thing going on with the US elections too. I watched the recent debate with a twitter overlay. Interesting to see what people were saying. Now there are some bigger things happening. I hear that Britney Spears now has a twitter account. Of course its not her, its her marketing team. Thats going to pull in people. Then theres location aware Twitter. Using Twinkle on my iPhone I can see what the locals are up to, which is often quite interesting. I can also chat to them. It was great to twitter about La Machine with people and then to bump into a guy in town who said "Hey, its me from twitter!"
Blogging has its place but Twitter is definitely the new thing. How many people update their Facebook status? Thats basically Twitter but inside FB. I've got my Twitter account plugged so I just Twitter. I even got a new camera bag out of it as a company who makes camera bags follows my account and sent me one to test drive.

Very gaming related, not updated a lot, oh well.
In my not so very humble opinion, most blogs are superfluous rubbish, and little more than an excuse for people to indulge in a bit of public self-worship. :/

It is, but there is nothing wrong with that. I enjoy reading a lot of blogs.

Could you change mine to http://blog.blighter.net please :)
Going to add all the listed blogs to my Blogroll... would be awesome if you lot could return the favour ;) x
I've got loads on a blog but it's all my personal notes containing programming stuff, and intended for my own use only though I suppose others might find it useful.
Slight bumpage, I've finally got round to starting my own blog again. Not much on there at the moment and I still haven't found a decent looking design for it :(

All done :)
www.marksweb.co.uk/blog
fallen (very) behind on keeping that upto date, but got a lot of free time this semester so am looking to sort out my site, perhaps starting with my blog :)
http://couchpotatocamera.blogspot.com/
I just started mine. If you're feeling generous, click through some of the ads on there. I think I get e few pennies every once in a while with them. I'm not sure how it works, though but thought I'd try it all out.
If you folks aren't adverse to being associated with a scatterbrain like me, I'll add all your blogs as links on mine.

Updated mine with a new theme \0/ http://www.blighter.net
Hasn't been touched in over a year so am giving it a spring clean tonight and will then draft up some new content tomorrow :)
Fotobook is an amazing plugin - it just grabs all my Facebook albums and displays them on the "Photos" tab :cool:
Psymonkee

Yet another reminder to do something with mine :\
Mine's still updated daily :)
Up to 247 days in a row so far :D
I did that last year Jen. You cannot imagine the relief when Jan1st rolls around! Feels like such an achievement too :)

Could I please get some feedback from you guys with regards to the theme & plugins I have on there now? I've decided to aim the blog at movie reviews, and general chitter chatter so I've added the following:
- Recent tweets sidebar widget
- IMDB movie info popup (click the movie name on the first post)
- Twitter account linker - a few of my friends blog so I can link to their twitter pages by simply typing @username
- Fotobook - grabs my Facebook albums and turns them into a pretty photo album on my blog
Obviously the content is rather rubbish still but I want to get the site up to a finished standard before progressing :)
Jen I am amazed at your dedication to your blog... I thought I had started mine at the beginning of the year and then found out that in fact it was in 2009 :/ I haven't for a while and am trying to pick it up.
I never finished a diary before, so its no surprise really!
BB x
Thanks :)
It's stubbornness more than anything ;D
Will be good to finish but I think I might feel a little lost as to what to do with it next!
I've decided that from next year I shall be posting a blog. That might surprise some people as I'm quite a private person generally but I've decided that I'm going to involve my hobby of amateur radio and my plan is to ensure that I talk to at least one person on the radio every day of the year with just one caveat - If I'm not at home for a day (working away, holiday, that sort of thing) then that day will be skipped. I think that's acceptable as it'd be difficult to have a contact when I don't have access to a wireless.
I'll try and blog the details on a daily basis but if I can't do that daily then it will as regular as I can, the point isn't to guarantee a daily blog but to have a QSO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_contact) every day. I've bought a domain specifically for this and will spend the next few weeks getting it set up. I've already installed Wordpress on it so it's just a case of theming it how I want and getting it all ready so once I'm ready I'll post the link.
I'm quite looking forward to the challenge.

Will need a nice introductory post explaining some technical terms but should be interesting to follow :)

How would one start a blog ?
I may do one when enlightened.
http://wordpress.com/ and follow the instructions. Easy and they'll host it as well. If you want to host on your own domain/ISP then it's a little more complicated but a basic hosted Wordpress blog can be set up in a few minutes.
And here's mine, all ready for next year: http://www.qso365.co.uk
tumblr may be easier if you're not looking to host it yourself
Forty days into the year and mine is going well. I'm not blogging every day although I have had a contact on the radio every day so far (which was the object of the exercise). Still enjoying it and keeping it all going so it's nice to be still running strong now that it's at least 10% of the way into the year.
