I have left 9rules

June 27th, 2008

This is a bit of a belated message to say that I am gay and am running away… okay so I lied, I have left The 9rules Blogging Network to go it alone in the blogging world. I just want to say thanks to all of you that have found me from the 9rules site and to those that have been my extended family for the past couple years, I know I haven’t been as active of late and I still consider 9rules to be some of the best content available online, passionate words everywhere and I guess a catalyst for me leaving.

Tyme, Mike and Scrivs, I thank you all for having me as part of your network and perhaps one day you will have me back once I have time to channel my thoughts and passions into my blog again on a regular basis.

It’s been a pleasure getting to mingle with my peers, people that I look up to and that I have a lot of respect for, not only that I’ve made a few good friends with whom I stay in touch.

Time waits for no man as I have said before and it’s time for this man to move on. You’ll be pleased to know I am not going anywhere though so it’s a pointless statement, all I have done is retire from the commitment of writing as a part of 9rules.

I’ll still be writing and I hope that you will continue to stop by if and when it takes your fancy.

Take care folks and you’ll see me about. Got about 700 things I need to do on this site but until then I have 700 things to do on other things which I am afraid to say take precedence over entertaining you lot..

Watch this space, I think Tyme said it beautifully when she told me “don’t be a stranger, that very much goes out to you lot too!

Snap is a snap and adds value too!

I have been busy as hell recently, just started a new contract and it has knocked me for six after working at home for 5 months. I loved those 5 months but cash is cash and money is money and all four of those come in handy in my book so a contract it is just now.

So WTF is this post about? Well, since I have been busy and firewalled beyond belief I haven’t had a chance to check out the new arrivals at 9rules so tonight I took the chance to have a browse about.

So WTF is this post about I hear you ask again… in case you never decided to even mouse over any of the links above you will have seen a rather nice preview of the external site you are about to visit. I have to give a hat tip to Ryan Arrowsmith as whilst I was browsing his site I was pleased to be presented with screen grabs of external sites. Pretty cool if you ask me!

Now I don’t know if there is dodgy shenanigans going on in the background with data caching etc but to be honest, I don’t care, within seconds I had signed up, added a small line of code to my site and hey presto, added value for my users.

So now you know, this article is about giving props to the new members of 9rules as well as praising the lovely service called Snap which is a snap to use and adds value too.

Lemme know if you find this useful, I am finding it useful already.
