Thanet and Blogger - Again(!)

Apologies to those Thanet bloggers that did not get a visit from me and a comment in my Tuesday Evening Roundup of blogs. The problem was down to your chosen host () having a technical fault with the commenting system. Blogs not on this platform might have seen me but as most Thanet Bloggers are on Blogger (still)...

There is something to be said for variety within a population. Not only does it insulate against global devastation (ask any farmer) it also leads to better innovation and less copy-cat sites. We've not seen too much of the later yet but as this niche grows I am sure we will.

If you need help establishing yourself on a hosted solution with your own domain name you can always contact me. Just click my name on any article that I have written. Easy.
