Well I haven't blogged in a while cause of the chaos in the lead up to christmas and tomorrow is my Sisters wedding so everything is quite hectic at the moment. I will be back later in the year before new years and I will get back into it. So I hope everyone has had a merry christmas and If I don't post before a very happy new year.
Karl Du Fresne this morning wrote an opinion piece in the Dom Post saying that bloggers in New Zealand are constantly ranting about the Bias of the New Zealand MSM, which is partly true, but he also continued that in New Zealand unlike elsewhere this complaining was from both sides, which he said is the way it should be.
Then he went on to say "Some blogs are perceptive and well informed.
They keep the MSM on their toes and open debate to voices that might not find an outlet in conventional publications. But many blogs - both of the Left and Right - are barely literate rants written by angry, selfabsorbed no-hopers with too much time on their hands. They are often toxic, petty, juvenile and malicious.
He goes onto say that much of it is cowardly as it is posted behind Pseudonyms and anon. Which I actually agree with, and I agree there are a lot of ranters out there on the blogging scene, but I don't think the situation is as crazy as he puts it out to be. He has said there are only a few that are coherent. I have to say I myself do have a rant every now and then, but I also have some quite perceptive posts as well.
Well the full opinion piece is here
Well I started this blog on September 14th 2004, and made it to 100 posts on August 13th 2005, about 11 months later. I made 200 on September 4th 2006, and it now seems I have upped the Ante a bit making 300 just over 3 months later, as this is now up to averaging more a day.
I am not going to say anymore on the matter, but I will work towards 1000 now considering NZ Paradigm dies at 199posts.
Well now it has finally let me move over to Blogger Beta and I will try and edit all my previous posts into catergories for everyone as well...Thanks for your own going support.
Well in my Dashboard, it told me I had access to being upgraded to the new version, yet when I clicked to accept this offer and entered my details, it told me I have to wait, I really would like Bloggers new version now, but it seems I will have to wait. Oh well.
Well I have been following this closely lately, and it seems since I have changed my blog to my new address that the hits on my old one have stayed the same or there abouts averaging about 20 a day unique visitors, while my current site fluctuates a lot between 0 and 20 never seeming to get the forwarded traffic, I am thinking about making the old site just a direct redirect over to my new one, but the problem is that would remove my old archives, I was wondering if anyone has an idea for how I can keep my archives from my old site and coninue them on my new one.
Also on the comments front I have been very thin, I would love to hear what people think and what they have to say on my blog, so go ahead and comment as much as you like.
I was just checking the stats on my blog histories and referals and it is unbelievable, the largest referrer to my site is google image search of one man.
I can't believe this but it is kinda amusing, the man in the photo above is none other than Alexander Ovechkin.
Yes the most referrals to my Blog are about a Hockey Player Brilliant.
