Lightening Online

Or so it would seem!!!!!  I thought going away for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year would be a GOOD time to go away.  Well it was a GOOD time to be away but I thought the internet would be a lot quieter than it has been.

Did you like that I was able to post EVERY DAY while I was on holidays???  The beauty of wordpress where you can write posts and state when you want them published.

I’ve just been through and responded to all of the lovely comments you lovely people made while I was away.  Thank you for continuing to comment in spite of my obvious lack of response.  If you’re not subscribed to the comments, you may want to go back to any post where you’ve left a comment to see my response.  A few are general comments but I’ve tried to respond individually where appropriate.

Of course, I’ve come home to 21,567 posts in my bloglines reader!!!!!  Just kidding…..I read a few on the odd days I popped home to do washing so there aren’t that many really.  I think about 2000 or so in the 2 weeks though….

Sadly, a few of my favourite blogs use partial feeds.  Mostly, because they are blogs I really like, I will click through to the blog occasionally to catch up.  However, when I get this behind it’s those blog posts that get missed.  So pllleeeeaasssseee, if you have your settings set to only a partial feed for feed readers, consider changing it to full feed. 

And NOW for the BIG NEWS that happenened during my absence……

The AUSSIE BLOGGERS FORUM has now been launched!!!!!  I’m still a little nonplussed over the fact that they chose while I was away to launch.  LOL.  I’ve noticed some of you have already found your way over there.  For those who haven’t, come on over and join the party!!!!

It was set up by the very people I mentioned in my post “Isn’t the Blogosphere such a nice place to be” - Meg, Snoskred and Andrew.  You’ll also find some familiar names amongst the moderators there. 

It’s already turned in to a very friendly and fun place to be.  If you’d like to get to know other bloggers, perhaps find some new blogs to read and get some advice/information about blogging - it’s definitely the place to go!!!!  I don’t think you need to be Australian OR a blogger to join in the fun either!!!

Well…..what are you waiting for????  Come on over!!!!   Oh, and if you’d like to give the forums a plug on your own blog - that would be great!  As they say, the more the merrier!!!!
