Alex MacDonell spotted the phrase 'Nom de Blog' in the New York Times of 15 February. "It looks," he suggests, "as though 'blog' is joining 'plume' and 'guerre' as an American-French appellation." It turns out to be fairly common and has already reached several online glossaries of terms. There's also "nom de Web" and the much older "nom de Usenet", which is recorded as far back as 1990.

'March of the Librarians' is a video about the latest convention of the American Libraries Association, done as a take-off on March of the Penguins. "How they know to congregate in the same spot, no one knows. They come to learn, network, collect free stuff and, possibly, to mate."

First of all ... Congratulations on the 41 years! My wife and I are planning on celebrating our 33rd this June.

Welcome to the blogosphere! I'd been told that you were blogging and to watch "The Lamplighter" for your address. I'm looking forward to reading more on Brambly Hill.
Good post.

Hello! I was interested to know if setting up
a blog website such your own: http://www.blogger.
com/comment.g?blogID=7322680065465699843&postID=3420702013368842171 is difficult to do for inexperienced
people? I've been wanting to create my own blog for a while now but have been turned off mainly because I've always believed it required tons of work.
What do you think? Thanks

Hello exceptional website! Does running a blog similar to this require a lot of work?
I have very little understanding of coding however I was hoping to start my own blog
in the near future. Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off topic however I simply had to ask.
Cheers!

Hiya. I noticed your blog title, "Blogger: Brambly Hill" does
not really reflect the content of your site. When composing your website title, do
you think it's best to write it for SEO or for your viewers? This is one thing I've been battling with because I want great search rankings but at the same time
I want the best quality for my website visitors.
Here is my web blog ... sociableday.com

Hi! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be
able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
With thanks!

Exploring digg.com I noticed your site bookmarked as: Blogger:
Brambly Hill. Now I am assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a large amount of targeted traffic?
I've been contemplating doing some social bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't sure if it would produce any positive results.
Many thanks.
