The L Word revisited
Tuesday, 3 November 2009 10:27 A GMT+01
I seem to have crossed some kind of magic threshold on "the Google" recently, because in spite of the fact that October of 2009 was one of my laziest blogging months EVAH (12 entries total, only half of which were original material)
Thank you, Julie Andrews!

Last month was a record-setter here on ShazzerSpeak in terms of visitors. If the built-in stat counters are to be believed (and Dr. Darling is *highly* skeptical of their accuracy), 56,414 people surfed by in April.
Please pardon the post diarrhea

This is a special message to the 3 or 4 people I haven't completely driven away from this blog in the last couple days. My absentmindedness, combined with a recent server upgrade at Twitter, resulted in an accidental auto-posting loop.
Entry extravaganza!

My 11 loyal readers, especially those who subscribe to my musings by RSS feed or e-mail, have probably noticed a bit of a jump in the number of posts over the last 24 hours.
Shazzer's Greatest Hits: Sept. 2007
Monday, 1 October 2007 1:57 P GMT+01
In addition to blogging regularly, I also read a number of blogs about blogging. This is because I'm a semi-closeted super geek. But also because I'm something of a new media junkie.

Props to my pal MisfitDuck for alerting me to a MUCH better Stortorget webcam than the one I had previously linked under the "Potentially Useful" heading near the top of the right-hand sidebar.This one is capturing the city's main squa
Half a million people can't be THAT bored!

Sometime on Sunday, the hit counter here at ShazzerSpeak crossed the half-million mark. Of course I realize that not all of those hits represent actual readers. As many as half of them may not even be human!
Does this site load slow?

Okay, so I've had some occasional complaints that ShazzerSpeak takes f o r e v e r to load, and after a little research I concluded that it's probably because of all the third-party widgets that are plugged into the sidebars.
Tagged: Why I Blog
Friday, 27 April 2007 1:46 P GMT+01
My blogging buddy The Rat "tagged" me to do an entry about "Why I Blog" over a week ago, and I'm just now getting around to it because, you know, I've got this Master's in Procrastination that has to be used sometime
Greetings from the future...

This post is appearing under the date of Sunday, April 15...but it's actually being written on Monday, April 16. Spooky, huh?!
Guess I'll be keeping my day job...

...for awhile anyway. It's been a month since I decided to try running a few text ads on ShazzerSpeak and I'm not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed by the results.
Shazzer sells out, sort of...

No Dear Readers, your eyes are not deceiving you...that is indeed a Google AdSense box in the right-hand sidebar.

Eagle-eyed ShazzerSpeak readers might have noticed a couple of new additions to the right-hand sidebar in recent weeks, namely a pair of widgets from a service called MyBlogLog.

, it's a little boring in spots, and there are way too many "uhm's and Ah's", but it is, after all, my first try. Please be gentle with me!

A few eagle-eyed readers have noticed the pink badge in the left-hand sidebar and have asked about it. Earlier this month, some kind and possibly slightly imbalanced person submitted ShazzerSpeak to a Lesbian Blog of the Year (2006) contest.
"What the font?!"

A lot of the professional blogging sites I read have been featuring New Year's Resolution-themed posts with all kinds of suggestions for improving your blog.
Double milestones reached today!
Sunday, 3 December 2006 10:54 P GMT+01
I've scored two red stars on the calendar today! The first because it's my second anniversary with my kick-@$$ hosting service Blog-City. And the second because sometime over the last 24 hours my hit-counter recorded a cool quarter of a million visit

ShazzerSpeak has a kick-@$$ new banner thanks to the multi-talented Dr. Darling. She's been on a bit of a Photoshop jag lately, and the image gracing the top of the page is one of her more whimsical creations.
Flock-ing AMAZING!!!

I'm writing this entry from a special window that I can open directly from a new open source browser called Flock. It's supposed to make blogging easier with special tools that allow you to basically drop and drag pretty much anything you want

Like most blogs, ShazzerSpeak is riddled with assorted stat counters keeping track of assorted things. But I'll be you'll never guess why.
Holy Crap! ShazzerSpeak hits 'six figures'!
Friday, 5 May 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
It is with great pride and a healthy dose of dumbfoundedness that I report that sometime over the last 24 hours, ShazzerSpeak reached 100,000 hits.
As if I wasn't geeky enough...

I've finally crossed the line into total blogging nerd-dom: ShazzerSpeak now has it's own domain at www.shazzerspeak.com.

If this works, it will be the 1st time I've ever posted from my mobile phone. And if sending e-mail is as tedious as sending text messages, I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be doing it very often!

Spam from gambling websites has forced me to take down my blog board. And why is buy-valium-online.com consistently one of my top referring websites?
