Today is Blogday August 31, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Blogging , trackbackAnd the first I heard about it was when I turned up at the office this morning, and the client asked me if I was doing anything for blogday. Clearly I’m tuned into the buzz of the blogosphere. I haven’t got five blogs to post on, so I’m going to head over to my old blog at WordPress.com and start hitting the next button. The first five blogs in English and updated in the last few days will get a link.
The ramblings of a lunatic seems to have slowed down a little lately with a post a week or so ago and nothing else in August. He has a taste for rock classics, obviously a student and a football fan, something of a techy.
Gilmera ELT is an English Language Teaching school for teachers in India, and its most recent post calls for the attendees at a course to make comments about it on the post. Many of the students comment on the importance of love in teaching, and not letting preconceptions interfere with how a student is perceived.
The Bodhisattva seems to be a collection of reviews of books which are rather outside the mainstream, but seem interesting, mostly science fiction / fantasy. I landed on a post with numbers 21-30 of the the author’s top 100, recognised none of them, although some of the authors are familiar, and have added a couple to my amazon wishlist. I may come back to this one.
The world starts here is the blog of an enthusiastic Russian student living in Iceland. Rather than the normal angst-ridden posts of most teenage bloggers, this blogger exudes optimism and excitement. It’s catching!
The Reader is a very personal blog of vignettes and anecdotes of life. Its well written and occasionally macabre. Worth reading.
Of the five blogs, I’ll probably come back to two. To get these, I had to wade through about 15 others which were very out of date, plus a few where I couldn’t read the language. It strikes me that there are less of the rambling personal blogs than there were the last time I spent a while hitting a next button and the standard of writing is much higher. Maybe all those rambly blogs are off on myspace or bebo and don’t set up on WordPress.
Happy Blogday!
