Site Review Blog

The Fantasy fiction blog contains some short stories and extracts of the authors fantasy fiction writing.  The blog is fairly new with only a small number of posts.  Mot everyone has the time to write a book, but by presenting short stories in a blog, any aspiring author can not only write their stories, but have the opportunity to interact with their readers.  If you like to read about Magic, Dragons and Elves then you will certainly find that here.  Most of the Posts the Author has made look to be snippets of a much bigger story.  I would even hazard a guss that they might be writing a novel, and posting some small snippets into a blog while they write the book.  then again, I might be wrong!  I will leave it up to you to decide.

Are you still watching TV on a 26″ screen or less? Still hire Movies on Video tape? You are considering getting a bigger TV, maybe a DVD recorder or TiVo but just don’t have any idea about all this new high-tech stuff.  you have seen the price of the latest flat panel tv’s and don’t want to make the wrong choice for such an expensive item.  Well, you are not alone in this department at all.  Fortunately, help is at hand with up to date info fom the experience of people who have recently purchased some of these items in the TV Technology Blog.  The guys who run this blog make fairly regular posts on all of the high-tech TV and personal entertainment electronic devices.

You get some down to earth and easy to read info in language that everyone can understand.  The posts are well thought out and provide a question, then a series of answers and some even have a summary saying how or why a particular option was chosen from so many available. If you want to understand the difference between LCD and Plasma technologies then you will find that here.  The Latest buzz is High Definition or HDTV technology and this is one of the key areas of comment and discussion on this site. Learn a little about what DVI and HDMI are before going to your local electrical retail store only to be confused by the slick salesman trying to sell you something you may not want or need.

So, if it is time to retire your aging tv, and put in a brand new flat panel into your lounge room then by reading this blog, and learning a little before you go shopping, hopefully you will get a better deal and understand what the salesman is on about.  I jsut wish this site was around a year ago, before I laid down $3K on a brand new Plasma.

NowBlogging.net is a new Free Blog hosting site.  You can sign up and get a free blog within a few minutes.  They make use of the Open Source LifeType blog engine.  The software they have chosen looks to do the job quite well.  They give you 10Meg of space to upload your images and you can even put them into galleries.  With over 80 different templates to choose from, you should be able to find one that suits your new blog.

If the 80+ templates are not to your liking, you even have the opportunity to create your own skin and upload it.  I don’t know of too many other free blogging sites that allow this.  Yes, they do have some restrictions, and that is if you create your own template then you must include their header - it is not too intrusive and just a text link back to nowblogging.net and a single Adwords link block.

All Blogs are in their own sub-domain.  When you sign up, choose your username carefully as it will become the sub-domain for your blog. So, if you choose fred as your username, then your blog will be found at fred.nowblogging.net  As this is a fairly new site, if you get in quick, you will have the opportunity to grap a premium name for your blog. 

The site still has a few things missing, but as far as signing up for a blog, that all works just fine.  What I liked about the admin panel of this blog is that the owner of a blog can invite other writers by giving them their own username and password.  They only grant the necessary permission to add and edit blog content, and not to change other aspects of the blog. So if you want a blog that you can easily invite other’s to write with you, grab yourself an account and start blogging at nowblogging.net

Directory Spy is a blog that is written for people who run a directory.  The posts on it are quite informative and even educational about the whole web directory scene. The site uses a good looking template and it is quite easy to read.  The Writers style tells you that they know a thing or 2 about the subject.

With regular posts - at least  one a week and sometimes 2 or more a day, if you run a directory, or even if you do directory submissions you will find some good, up to date info on all things directory. With posts on topics such as new phpLD templates, hints on doing directory submissions and Directory Categories, anyone who owns and runs a directory will get something from this blog. Don’t just read the blog entries or you will miss some of the good resources this site has to offer - take a peek at the Directory Lists as well.

I was asked to do a review of the site and ended up spending nearly an hour reading back on all the old posts - as someone who does own a couple of small niche directories, I really appreciated the content of this blog, I will visit this one often myself.
