I have my blog listed on Amatomu, a blog directory specifically for South African blogs, today, as I was checking my rank, I saw I was 11th. It wasn’t until a friend pointed it out that I saw I beat Steve Hofmeyr’s blog by 3 places!?!? Can you believe that?! For the internation readers, Steve is a local artist (quite popular too!).

Obviously I’m not a household name as he is – after all he starred in “Agter Elke Man” nearly 3 decades ago, where he stole a lot of hearts as “Bruce”. He’s also been on 7de Laan, a local soap opera (Translated … LOL… 7th Avenue? Haha, that sounds too funny!!) as the crim with whom Paula fell in love.

Well today, my blog is making history – even if its just my opinion!

I never dreamt my blog would beat “Steve se spoeg blok”.

Sticky posts are boring and irritate the living daylights out of me. I have tried it now, and I can tell you that it seriously sucks. If you were considering it, its dumb. It looks as if you don’t update your blog, and it doesn’t help much. I have made a link for the top of my widget instead which now links to the competition for the Rooibos tea.  The only purpose I see for it, is if you move your blog.  But then again, you wouldn’t need a sticky post, cause you wouldn’t post anymore…

Hope you all have a fabulous week!

I have been reading so many new blogs lately. I found a couple which I have already added to my feeds. I’m always surprised by the diversity of blogs. Its incredible that there are people in every industry and walk of life who blog.

Its amazing to read everyone’s stories. I really find it quite cool. For now I have to finish up work (my usual excuse).

So if you’re looking for something to read, make sure to visit Bongi’s blog. He’s a South African “general surgeon working in the notorious South African province of Mpumalanga.” I find his bizarre stories interesting, and I’m sure you will too – especially if you’re from abroad, and you’re normal to a hospital running similar to what is portrayed in ER.

The other blog that has caught my attention is Diary of a Killer. You can read random posts, but its best to start at the beginning – its a fictional blog about a woman wanting revenge.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

We all know those cute little computer symbols called “emoticons,” where:

means a smile and is a frown.

Sometimes these are represented by &

Well, how about some “ASSICONS?”
Here goes:

(__!__) a fat ass

(!) a tight ass

(_*_) a sore ass

{_!_} a swishy ass

(_o_) an ass that’s been around

Kristyn awarded me with a “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” badge, and these kind words…

“Dizzy Dee gets one too! Her blog is really interesting. She comes out with some really interesting topics with great visuals. She’s awesome, I enjoy reading her blog very much and so will you, I promise!!“

Thank you so much Kristyn!!!

I will soon give you the list of people who I’m going to award…

Its something that I’ve been wondering about for a long time. What happens to my blog if I’m gone? There must be blogs that have been abandoned due to their owner passing away. Where are those blogs? Would anyone ever know? Unless we had immediate family who has access to our blogs or very close friends, our readers might never know where we went. Maybe even thinking that we merely lost interest in blogging.

Its a strange and eerie thought, but still a reality. The ideal would be for a fellow blogger to be in touch with your family – right? And that fellow blogger will have access to your blog’s username / password just to let the readers know what has happened. I don’t have someone like that unfortunately. Maybe I should try to find one?

The same counts for all my e-mail addresses. I have quite a few of those, and though my work e-mail addy would be sorted, I doubt if anyone would figure out the security questions / passwords for my other e-mail addy’s.

Any advice on this? Have any one of you got a backup plan I can use?

Whilst being on Mingle on Friday, this was the quiz which I actually wanted to do, so here you go with the results:

How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

I’ve known for a long time that I’m hooked on blogging, but never knew it was this bad… Anyone willing to sponsor me for therapy

My sidebar is a disaster I know. I’ve been trying to fix is half heartedly and kinda given up. Tomorrow I need to clean it up though – the new RSS button is quite nice, hey? I got it from Stii, but still need to get rid of the white bits. That was an experiment, and I only now realized, when I got home, that I left the original photoshop file at work. Pfff.

I’m going to get rid of all the community buttons – they irritate me. Any suggestions?

I installed an ‘e-mail’ plugin on my blog just now. Its suppose to put a little envelope icon next to my comments link for each post, but it doesn’t!

I’m kinda doing this post to see if it only works on new posts, and if it doesn’t, can anyone help? There is an e-mail address in the readme file, so I will e-mail that eventually if I can’t figure it out.

Other than that things have been a bit hectic at work. Sorry for neglecting you this week. I try to catch up in the evenings.

For those of you who like to check your blog statistics – apply for a reinvigorate account!! I applied, and though its still in beta its awesome! You have to wait a bit for your account but its well worth it!! For screen shots visit The Unknown Soldier.

Other than work I’ve been messing on Photoshop – always remember to make backups of your .psd images – you might just want to edit one of the someday, and if you lose you harddrive, you will be very thankful for backups. I can kick myself for not making backups, because I can’t edit a certain image really – and I don’t have time to make a new one. Listen to the little voice in your head saying: “MAKE BACKUPS”… ALWAYS.

For now I’m going to get ready for bed. I got new facial cleansing lotion & what not – even eye cream *blush*… Things like this are necessary when you go over 24 :/
Its really nice products though – so if any of you girls are looking for something high quality – try Annique – its really great!!

By the way, the image doesn’t have any relation to this post – in case you were puzzled. I couldn’t find a nice fitting one, and thought this one was kinda cool

Damn I don’t think I’m very virtuous

I’m one of the most impatient people I know. Like now I can’t wait until this blog is up and running like my previous one was.

If you noticed my old blog is unavailable, its because Wordpress decided to close it down. Luckily I was in the process of getting this one ready, so I wasn’t caught too off guard – I just had to rush things a bit. I think I finally got a theme? Tell me what you think about it. I needed something different than the normal Wordpress themes, but with a sidebar which at least displays my blogroll.

Now I’m kinda comfy here, except that hardly anyone has been around. It’d be nice to know that you guys found me again? I miss your comments!

For those of you who’d like to swap links, please leave me a comment!!
