Following Captain Wacky’s link:

Daily Kos? The top of the table of global blogging?

More like the Little Green Kossacks’ Boys’ Club’s vaguely-liberal-left-wing faction.

Anyone to the left of Tim Blair noted Virginia Trioli's thoughts on this matter?

There is also the old trick of making the ‘spoiler’ text the same colour as the background

Back in the Usenet days, all of the text was black (and monospaced) and all of the backgrounds were white, so rot13 was the only option

Blogging is pretty time consuming, and lots of people drift in and out of it (I’m on my second proper blog at the moment, but I had four or five distinct web sites, some quite blog-like, before blog was even a word). Getting a real job, or a life, might not leave enough time to devote to it for many people. I don’t think it’s surprising that people drift in and out of blogging, but I suspect that there will be a net increase for some time to come.

I personally haven’t updated my blog in over a week, mainly because nothing has tweaked my interest sufficiently at a time I had the luxury of devoting a few minutes to writing something. It’s not dead, just sleeping!

Yes well this is The Sunday Times and it is also Perth,where people want it to be 1950,and think that DLS is the devils work,because it adds an hour to their day.
Also that AFL players nice midle class boys all, can take drugs but its none of our business,as long as they win,where sports jurnos that work for all Perth media outlets knew about it but where to scared or to fond of the perks to say anything.
And where it is being swept under the carpet again

‘Furrfu’ is what got you confused, for it is reminiscent of pussycats both in and out of code.

I hope so…otherwise I looked at the word ‘tigtog’ and saw ‘Pavlov’s Cat’ and am getting some sort of dyslexia-related distorder.
