Writing Words - writing it is the only way of getting it writtenEye-Catching Icons for Your BlogJuly 21st 2010 21:17
Want an eye catcher for your blog or website? Try the VSP Eye Chart generator and turn your blog name into a chart. I love this little web app, I'll probably turn all sorts of text into eye charts from now. You can enter up to 61 characters - not a huge amount, but it's long enough for your blog name or a strap line. Are you going to use the eye chart generator? If you do, share the link to your blog in the comments.
Blog Stats and Ghost ClicksJanuary 21st 2010 18:38
Okay, the stats going all wonky isn't the best way to persuade me that Orble is my blogging future.
According to the daily stats email, both Freelance Tips and Writing Words had zero visits yesterday. Guess it must have been a ghost then that clicked on one of the ads on one of the blogs. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate a comment on the Writers' Forum about what's going on with the stats.

The Foo Fighters!!!
I think it took a couple of days to sink in - I watched rock history in the making on Saturday night, I saw (half of) Led Zeppelin play to songs with the best rock band of the last 13 years, if not ever. The Foo Fighters gig in Wembley on Saturday was quite possible the best concert I will ever experience in my entire life. I've been a massive fan of the Foos for ages, and I have wanted to see them live for about as long. Something always came up, though. When they played the O2 Arena in November last year, I couldn't go. Shortly after that the Wembley gig was announced and I knew that this was my shot to finally see them. And man, did I pick the right concert there! 86,000 people, the Foos in top form rocking their socks off, and that encore. Now I am not a massive Led Zeppelin fan, but when Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones walked on stage, the shivers were chasing each other down my spine. How many more opportunities will be to see Led Zep live (it's a bit of a pity that Robert Plant couldn't be there, I have to admit)? Two, one, none at all? Who knows. My personal highlights were some of the Foo classics, though. Singing along with an entire stadium full of people to all the songs, but especially to Breakout, Stacked Actors, My Hero, Everlong, Monkey Wrench, All My Life and Best Of You was AMAZING. Just the thoughts of My Hero - which turned into a collective Dave Grohl worship - and Everlong - greatest song ever - give me goose bumps. Right after the show I said to myself, "Sonya, that's it - you have to give up rock concerts for good. This show just cannot be topped." Now I'm not so sure anymore that I will never go to another concert. Yet I can't see any other band replace the Foo Fighters as my rock gods.
