April 22, 2008 | Filed Under Blog Design, Blog Design | Leave a Comment

Paul Scrivens, aka Scrivs, talked about limiting your design at his design blog Emersian.
As a part of that post, he talked about the current design of The Blog Herald:

Ghost Bloggers Growing in Popularity?
July 18, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | 2 Comments

Toronto’s Globe and Mail is asking the question that’s on everybody’s mind (sarcasm): Does rapper Kanye West have a “ghost blogger?”
While the concept of ghost writing is hardly new (celebs have been relying on professional writers to create content that is officially credited to them forever), it looks like ghost blogging is blipping onto [...]

July 17, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 3 Comments

Veronica Belmont and Sarah Austin wants out of the sexiest female bloggers poll on Playboy, according to a story on TechCrunch, but Playboy says no. It would, of course disrupt the poll. While I have no love for these kind of polls, and the Playboy one is no exception, I do think that if you’ve [...]
