Work - The Curse of the Blogging Man

Almost 2 weeks since my last post. I can't believe it! I started blogging in the belief that at last I would have time to make daily posts in my post heart attack world. Truth is I'm busier than ever. Mind you I am getting a lot done and it is our year end which produces a paperwork fest to delight any civil servant. I never realised how much paper has in common with water. No matter how much you try to control it still it comes flowing through.

Anyway, still 3 months' VAT to catch up on and the annual accounts to finalise. Then it will be Christmas, no doubt. No promises but I'll do my best.

Just a couple of things to mention before they get lost in time. First is to crowbarred who seems to be confused about the difference between a link (which is an address, usually starting with http://) and a tag (which is a subject word or phrase used for searching). See his comment on my piece Music Music Music. I did write a long and detailed (and probably boring) explanation about these 2 a week ago and then ran into a beta type issue with the blogger. Next thing I knew - there it was - gone. There is nothing more deflating than to lose a piece of work forever like that. Golden rule, of course, is always to save it in draft but, well I didn't. Bah.

Following on from that I cannot stress too much how important it is to register with Technorati, claim your blogs, ping after every post and link to other sites (and of course get them to link to you.) There are millions of bloggers out there and if you want to get noticed you have to do things!!!

On a lighter note, I came across this rather relaxing post. Enjoy.
