But it turns out my 4 year old has some questions about blogging and is interested in doing a blog. He also came up with some questions that I think we should all think about. I think you should look to children for answers or questions for most things you do in life. They come out with the obvious but a lot of it is true.
The questions he asked about blogs made me wonder why, how and Read The Rest

Heres a little test that I think will be interesting, when you see a list of blogs anywhere do you go because of the blog name or the blog design.
Heres 30 blogs each listed with just the names of the blogs.
What you have to do is leave a comment about what name would make you want to click through to have a look at the site, don’t choose blogs just because they are friends.
In your comment leave a 1, 2, 3 of what blog you would visit.
I will track clickthroughs from here and track them for a week or so then do a post on the results. The results will be combined from this part and Read The Rest

I thought I would try PayPerPost the other day to see what this blogs ‘Real Rank’ was. I know all the fuss is about Google removing PR from blogs using PPP so I had no intention of adding a any posts to this site. But I was interested in their new ranking system and how this blog held up.
At first I was expecting it to get refused because it is under 3 months old (under 2 to be exact) and it came as no suprise when I got an email saying that my blog had been rejected. What suprised me was the reason.
