To be honest I haven't really got the hang of the whole blog thing. With thanks to Kristy (hippo/Canuck/minnmess) and her "vlogging" whilst in Europe (London) I was introduced to this wonder....and loved it. Didn't think I would.

One thing that confuses me is how do I find "blogs" that would interest me and keep my attention? Then some blog sites just seem ek.... crazy and not so user friendly.

So my question is this....do you have favourite vlogs/blogs/websitey thingmajigs that you would like to share? Maybe you have your own? This is you place to shamelessly promote your own or your favs....and help educate a sista! ;-)

I tend to read things for a while, and then forget, and then get caught up in a day. Mostly street fashion/lifestyle things by chicks that just like clothes (as opposed to more professional blogs). Some of my favs are...
http://www.delightfully-tacky.com/
http://www.calivintage.com/
http://theclothes.blogspot.com/

and a pro one that I read almost daily (and Megg is a big fan too)...

I stick to photography-based blogs, because wordy blogs don't interest me. I find that if I don't know the person then I'm not really interested in their ramblings.


Rachel Hosken takes photos at the Minack (outdoor) Theatre in Cornwall

Through The Gaps is a bit geeky, it's about the fishing community of Newlyn, Cornwall.

A nature blog again from Cornwall, Steve's photos are excellent

Adrian Sudbury My only non-Cornish, non-photography blog. It has now been wound up but is still open to read. Adrian died in August 2008 after contracting two types of leukaemia. He campaigned to raise awareness of bone marrow donation through his role as a journalist. He managed to get Gordon Brown to agree to introducing a talk in schools about donation and the bone marrow register.

I love photography stuff....I admire people who can take amazing photography. I found these time delay videos on Vimeo by TSO photography (which I have totally fallen in love with). Nature/Earth/Stars awesome stuff, check them out:

The Mountain

The Aurora

The Arctic Light

I follow him now on Facebook too.

So are you from Cornwall Sunny, thus that particular interest or what's the story there? :)

Yup, DT is awesome. I think her name is Elizabeth. She is a kick ass, teeny, hockey playing chick from Alaska

I'm going to shamelessly plug my motorsport blog :-P

Musings of a Motorsport Geek

I'm quite proud of it as various motorsport people have complimented me on it - Mark Blundell and Tom Chilton (an ex-F1 driver and a touring car driver) both said they liked it :-)

But yeah, might interest a few of you, might not!

I set up a little blog a few days back here: http://thingymablog.tumblr.com/

I don't think I'll be doing too much long ramblings on it, I just like uploading audio and picys. ^_^
