Comments Disabled

Every now and then I come across a blog that does not allow comments.
I guess because this is the exception rather than the norm, I’m curious as to:
a) whether this is still considered a “blog” (ie do you HAVE to allow comments in order to be considered a “blog”)
b) why the author has chosen to […]


Short and Sweet In Lightening’s Blogworld This Week

Life has been crazy busy of late and I’ve gotten slack with adding links to my favourite posts throughout the week as I used to. So this will be a very quick round up this week.
Craig Harper continues to churn out top quality content each week. His post “A Solution to Global Obesity […]


Blog Nosh Magazine

Are you hungry for some great reading material? Then Blog Nosh magazine could be just the right smorgasboard for you. Blog Nosh magazine is an online collection of some of the best blog posts ever written.
A selection of channel editors are constantly trawling the blogosphere for top quality content to be added […]


How Many Balls Can You Juggle?

From time to time, people ask me how I manage to keep up with 4 blogs. It’s “normal” to struggle with 1 at times, let alone 4.
While it does happen, I very rarely post to all 4 in the one day. Not on top of responding to comments, reading and commenting on other […]


Team Lightening for the 30 Day Challenge

For those who have joined the 30 Day Challenge, I have started a thread on the 30-Day Challenge Forums where we can meet one another and discuss any issues or problems (and share successes) with one another. Feel free to pop in to that thread and introduce yourself to one another.
I know that there […]


What Browser Do You Use?

Some time ago I was asked this question “what browser do you use”? It was closely followed by “please tell me it’s not Internet Explorer”.
Of COURSE I was using Internet Explorer. It came on my computer and no-one had told me I had any other option.
It was at this point that I first […]


Let’s Hear it For the Boys In Lightening’s Blogworld This Week

Last week I did a special feature on female Australian bloggers and promised that this week I’d feature some male Australian bloggers.
Here’s a little glimpse into the blogs by Aussie males that I enjoy reading:
From My Feedreader:
Problogger
Without a doubt, Darren Rowse would have to be one of the most well-known Australian bloggers in the entire […]


Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter for about a two weeks now.
Funnily enough, I actually signed up about 2 months ago but never did anything more than that (sign up that is).
It’s the thing everyone seems to be talking about. I resisted because in all honesty, I can do without yet another online method of […]


Celebrating Aussie Women Bloggers In Lightening’s Blogworld This Week

Being a tad shy and a little modest (and somewhat fearful of the Australian Tall Poppy syndrome), I’m not usually one to shout my blogs progress from the rooftops of the Blogosphere. You might occasionally get an update down the bottom of one of these weekly wrap-up posts.
However, when the Top 100 Australian Women […]


30 Day Challenge

Image via WikipeA couple of weeks ago, I was asked by my good friend Kin if I was interested in doing the 30 Day Challenge with her. I’d heard Suzie mention it in the past so was VERY interested in checking it out?
What’s the 30 Day Challenge all about?
In a nutshell… The […]
