When I am making my way round JU, usually on a daily basis, I notice the names of the newest bloggers, who have just registered. Sometimes I even click on their names to have a bit of a nosey...because well, I'm nosey. Thinking about it, not many of them bloggers I have noticed, appear to have made a huge impact on JU, and I wonder why? Some may post a few articles, try to get into things a little, and when they recieve no attention they get bored and don't bother again. Now obviously this isn'...

So I had to do it, I had to check out what the deal with MySpace was. So I went for a look.....I even created a profile (call it a scientific experiment) and my conclusion....well a fair summary would be that said profile is now deleted, and I will not be returning to that website. MySpace doesn't seem to be a good name for it....collectafriend.com is much better. Now I know alot of people have already given MySpace a good slating, so I'll try and keep this as constructive as possible. Wh...

I suffer from sleepless nights. When everyone else is tucked up in bed and dreaming. I'm wandering about the place, and wondering what I can possibly do to make me sleep. JU helps me at this time, because I usually end up reading articles. My favourite thing to do at the moment is read old articles, from current and past users. Because I'm in a state of half asleepness (don't think that's a word...but you get my drift) it's nice to read old articles, and appreciate what you already have ...

I honestly don't know how I would cope without google. Everytime I think of a question that I would like an answer to, I simply type my question into google, and BAM! There isn't just one answer, there is millions of answers, millions of perspectives, and insight into millions of different peoples minds on my chosesn subject within seconds. How do you beat that? I don't think that you can. So my chosen topic today for google, was, blogging. You see I have been at JoeUser for about two y...

I feel a bit out of things at the moment. I'm spending less time here, and things have changed. Of course that is what happens with this site. It is evolving all the time, and we as a community are evolving. I don't really feel part of the JU community at the moment, and that is no ones fault but my own. I don't exactly know how or when it happened. I think I've just had other things on my mind and JU has just taken a back seat. Some people here I considered to be friends, turned out n...

I've noticed on a few of my top articles, and other peoples, anon users are posting adverts to their sites! How annoying! Not just one either... a few of them. Is there any way I can stop this? Or do I just need to stop anon users being able to post?

Blogging has slowly become something that fits into my everyday life. Just like waking up and getting dressed, at some point I try and fit time in to read some blogs, and write something. I don't even really think about it, it's just become naturally. Along with everyone here at JU, I've seen people come and go. I'm watching the site grow. I'm also seeing blogging becoming more popular. Or so I thought. I found this article on the linked website. Despite the potential of turning e...

Since joining JU, one thing that has frustrated me no end, is thinking of titles for my articles. When it comes to the title I just go completely blank and have no clue what to write. However, I have been amazed at how I can glance over at the latest article section, and just by the title have a good idea which of our great bloggers wrote it. Everyone seems to have their own style, and the more you read their stuff, the more evident it becomes. So we are going to play a little game. I h...

I have noticed that my blogging follows a certain pattern. That week by week, the days I feel like blogging tend to be the same, The days I feel like blogging about certain things tend to be the same. I blame school. That they had a fixed timetable for a year. It's ruined my life. I will never forget I had double French first thing on a Monday morning. That will torture me forever. Anyway here is a week in my blogging life; Monday I'm a big grump bag (blame double French, inci...

Well I've thought about this, and for once I think I should use as little words as possible. So thanks JU. Here's some funny pics, to make up for lack of words

I read articles about how to promote your blog all time, and in fear of looking stupid I refrain from posting comments on these blogs. I think they do provide valuable advice for those who take this blogging seriously. For me I don't think seriously is the right word. It's fun. I get to meet people (in the virtual sense, hehe) I get to share opinions. You know the drill. I'm guessing the majority of people here do this for the same reasons as me. Of course the points motivate some pe...

I like this blog site, I like the people on it. I think that it's a great place to write and get feedback. I can't help but notice that not everyone is getting on very well at the moment. That is to be expected, with so many people around, that have strong opinions, and beliefs and are willing to voice them opinions and beliefs, this is what makes this community so great, but which also causes conflict, so do we accept it? Do we ignore it? Do we try to understand it? This blog is not ab...

I have been writing on JU for a while now, a few months, and when I first started I hardly read any other blogs. I suppose I was pretty ignorant to other peoples blogs, but slowly I read more and more, and became a regular reader of a few, which I guess is to be expected if you're around here for long enough. What I didn't expect was the people reading my blog, I really didn't think I'd get people that interested in what I have to say. I read some fab fiction on here, I read some great po...

I met Peter Maxwell probably around christmas time, and I was the same as most people, when faced with the great one himself, I didn't really know how to take him, and in a state of disbelief I just chose to ignore him. I did finally learn that everything he said was the truth, and he is a man of honour, once you reach this conclusion and believe me at some point everyone does, getting on with him is a whole lot easier! So during this time Petey joined JU and as far as I know, he became pre...

Well I think I have solved my writing problem. My whole lack of wanting to actually do anything online in fact. It wasn't that I didn't have ideas, or things to say. It was that I was uncomfortable typing. After some Nancy Drewing on my part, I concluded that it was my chair. That's right folks, I was just uncomfortable in my chair. So, we have bought a new chair, and here I am back blogging. Obviously this could of just been a mental block, that I have now convinced myself is over, due to a ch...
