I’ve been snapping quite a few Instagrams lately and most of these don’t make it onto blog posts. This evening I added an Instagram widget to the sidebar of my blog. You’ll see 10 thumbnails on the sidebar to the left. If you want to… Read More
Thanks to those of you who ventured an opinion on this. I’ve brought back my blogroll. I edited it back severely and I hope that’s OK. If your blog isn’t there, it’s likely because you’re not blogging with any regularity, and if I keep a… Read More
As regular visitors know, I had a blogroll here for years until I switched to a “shelf” format for a while, a format that did not support one. I’ve had mixed feelings about the current value of blogrolls. I find that on most blogs they… Read More
This blog was viewed 28,000 times in 2013. In total there have been over 118,000 views since I closed down Mister Anchovy’s and started 27th Street. Thanks very much for coming. I hope you visit again soon. Comments welcome.
I tried the Shelf experiment with this blog for a host of reasons, not the least of which was a kind of desire to break away from the way I’ve done things in the past. I had hoped that it would work very well on… Read More
When I changed my blog format, I eliminated much of the stuff that was sitting on the sidebar, convinced by my blog stats that very few of my readers clicked anything on the sidebar. This of course brought out of the woodwork those folks who really liked having that material around. I’m still considering adding a page that holds a list of recommended blogs and some other side-bar like material. That way, the links will still be around for those who want it – just a click away. If you would like to see a blogroll back, somewhere around this joint, comment and let me know.
Meanwhile, I thought I would occasionally make posts pointing to blogs I like for one reason or another. Today, I’m going feature two blogs I came across early on. Many of the bloggers I stumbled across when I first became interested in blogging have moved on to other interests. On the other hand, a handful of them, like the two I’m featuring today, are still going strong. They’re comfort food blogs for me, always there, dependable, always interesting, ever eclectic. Both these bloggers are tour guides to fascinating and unusual corners of cyberspace.
Enjoy The Presurfer and Bifurcated Rivets.
After mulling it over for some time, I’ve made some changes to this blog. I may make more adjustments to it in the coming days. For instance I want to get my brain around what to do about a blogroll. I could create a page… Read More
I was initially drawn to blogging because I was fascinated with the idea that I could quickly publish posts in my own little corner of cyber-space in a chronological format. I jumped in with the blog I called Mister Anchovy. Later I tried an experiment… Read More
I made a brief post on this blog – you can see it here – it’s an update about the health of our dog Ellie Mae – it showed up for a second and then disappeared. It isn’t on the blog and it isn’t in… Read More
I haven’t posted here over the past few days, as I’ve been coping with a summer cold, featuring a nasty sore throat. My blog brain is parked for a few days until I beat this thing into submission.
