Forums, friend or foe
Prompted by the post on commenting, I got to thinking about the other great tool for generating community buzz, the forum. None of what I am about to say is my own work, as I have no original thought in my head about blog and website promotion. These pearls of forum (foral?) wisdom come from […]
No comments? Why bother?
I’ve encountered one or two blogs recently that I’ve noticed have turned off their comments. I don’t really get that? Why would you do such a thing?

Boags World
It is hard to talk about blogs in terms of something I can’t live without, but certainly, Boags World makes life as a blogger and webmaster a lot more bearable.
