As I promised in a previous post, I’ve added a plugboard to my blog! It’s only fair, given that I’ve been trawling the internet for relevant plugboards where I could add my button. Is there such a thing as plugboard karma? If there is, I’m now safe!

Here’s a list of around 20 different plugboard links which I use to plug my blog. I feel that these plugboards are relevant to my blog, i.e. if someone saw my button on one of these plugboards, there’s a chance they would want to click through.
I’m sure with a little more time anybody could find [...]

Oh, and another thing! I’ll soon be adding a list of links to my blog, pointing at other blogs which I’ve had the pleasure of viewing over the past few days / weeks / months. Unfortunately, there are no links pointing towards beetle-fighting or the history of the high heel, as I’m trying to keep [...]

See the little green counter above the ‘Blog Archive’ section on the right? That’s the cool widget which I signed up for from blogpatrol.com. It’s just a case of signing up at their website (http://www.blogpatrol.com/) and choosing the type of counter you want displayed on your blog.

My first act as a blogger!
Suppose I’d better add a counter to my fancy new blog, just in case I’m over-run with traffic while I’m sleeping tonight.
