Just a short note about Theme Thursday. I have decided to make it a fortnightly arrangement as i’m starting to realise i don’t have the time each Thursday. However if you would like to help out two weeks every month then please leave a comment, as i wouldn’t make it a fortnightly event if i had some cool webbie people helping out. What’s in it for you? Fame, fortune, twitter celebrity status! Well no…..a big thanks from the community and me
Also if you know of any great blogging links, drop a comment with a link for others to check out!

I’ve been blogging for a couple of years now. I think the most important part of running a blog is to make sure you enjoy blogging.
I don’t get that many visitors. Many of my posts recieve no comments but it doesn’t bother me because I write them, in the main, for myself. It’s an outlet and a very good way to air my views and, maybe, for others to kindly share theirs.
I try to publish at least 2 articles a month but sometimes it’s more and sometimes it’s less. I understand the professional bloggers out there who make a good sum of money from their sites but that life isn’t for me. I’ve said from the start, the second that running minute44.com becomes work, I’ll close the site.
Best of luck with your blog, may it bring you much joy.
