Calling All Blokesters: Need help with a Blog Tagline
Hi there Blokesters.
I’m considering re-branding this blog to include topics such as the social networking phenomena. Although I’ve already discussed topics like this in previous posts, I intend to focus even more on emerging technologies and how it will affect blogging as we now know it.
I will continue to publish “Blog Tips” but in order to disassociate myself from the sploggers [...]
New Features for Re-Launch of Blog Bloke dot com
Rolling Out New Features for the Re-Launch of Blog Bloke dot com:
While I’ve been taking a break from blogging I’ve been asking myself what really differentiates Blog Bloke from the rest of the crowd?

Breaking Radio Silence: Testing 1 2 3
I’ve been a busy little boy refining the blog template and trying to make it more usable and look like a theme instead of just a hodge-podge of unrelated code.
Recent changes that I’ve made to this site:
1. Fixed the post truncating problem thanks to help from Jason at Bluefur.
2. Removed some useless Wordpress plugins that I’ve been testing.
3. Moved the [...]
The Secret to Debugging Code: Blog Template / Theme Problems
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been taking advantage of my hiatus from blogging to concentrate on finishing minor tweaks that were necessary to my template / theme.
You might not have noticed, and although these changes may seem relatively minor they are in fact fundamentally important to the design. They were also more difficult to accomplish so [...]
If I Quit Blogging What Would I Do With Myself?

So It’s Time to Quit Blogging: What’s Next?
I’ve been dwelling a lot on this lately. So what do I do if I decide it’s time to quit blogging?
My April Fool’s post yesterday was made in jest but I have to admit that I face my demons every day with temptations to quit, especially when comments are down like they have been. This past year I’ve also [...]
The End of the Road for Blog Bloke
I’ll make this short and sweet because I don’t believe in long goodbyes. It’s been a great run but sooner or later all good things must come to an end.
Yes it’s true. It’s the end of the line for Blog Bloke. Further to my rant the other day about the proliferation of social network sites hijacking the [...]
This Is The End My Friend … The End of the Blog that is
Social Networks are all the rage now. International corporate big-wigs smell the moola as they salivate over the success of MySpace. Then there was MyBlogLog, Blog Catalogue, Facebook, Mybook, Yourbook (I made those up) and these are only just a drop in the bucket.
Mark my words. The way things are going it won't be long before we will all be writing our own blog epitaphs.

A Blogjacking We will Go
Just recently I was locked out of my Wordpress account because someone had tried to hack into it. I was a victim of an attempted blog hijacking (also called blogjacking) and they destroyed my computer in the process. I caught a virus from someone who emailed me a link to a malicious site injecting me with a trojan. Thanks, and it was from someone who knows me. How can I tell?...
