Walkabout de Blog, 8 julho 2007

Boa vinda a um outro walkabout do blog! Eu faltei o walkabout da última semana devido a outras pressões, mas as coisas retornaram ao normal, mim pensam.

O primeiro batente é hoje cerveja azul do castor, de Tim Ebl e de Ernie Wiegand em Alberta, Canadá. Eu tive que rir da varredura de uma página de um jornal local que parecesse mostrar algo incomun no menu. Ewwww! Thankfully, as aparências podem ser deceptive. Há uma lição no projeto para todos nós lá.

O Lis misterioso, de Singapore, toma cuidado de três blogs (onde povoar o achado o tempo?). Sobre cada coisa pequena é um potenciômetro de derretimento eclectic de fatos, de opiniões e do humour aleatórios. A quantidade de planeamento Lis posta em preparar-se herself para prestar atenção a Apocalypto é além da reprimenda, como é sua revisão do filme. Material brilhante engraçado!

Nafurai é um blog excelente no assunto de blogging. O autor, Maurizio de Switzerland, está fazendo um projeto fascinante que compila uma base de dados de blogs de WordPress e de Blogger com uma aplicação custom-built de Java. Na altura da escrita, tem sobre 112.000 blogs na base de dados. Yikes!

As faíscas de Alicia são um escritor e um editor freelance que escreva ambas as notas da saúde e faísca mentais da escrita. Está funcionando uma votação no assunto dos livros contra adaptações do filme. Por que não hop sobre lá e voto? Eu votei “lá fui somente alguns filmes que fizeram a justiça dos livros”. Certamente, eu posso mal pensar de alguns.

Odlum em linha é um blog técnico escrito por Andrew Odlum dos E.U. Cobre o projeto e o desenvolvimento da correia fotorreceptora. Este é um recurso superb para técnicas do CSS tais como a explicação de como flutuar uma imagem em um parágrafo do texto. Indispensable.

Excesso a Marrocos agora, para meu Marrakesh de Maryam Montague. Isto é gorgeous, enchido com as fotografias exotic e acompanhado por narrativa interessante. Um blog verdadeiramente bonito do curso. Eu posso também recomendar o photograp de Maryam hs on Flickr; they’re so colourful you can almost feel the heat.

Neria Sebastien from St Lucia in the Caribbean runs Neria’s Whirl. Neria gives us a mix of lots of different news - celebrities, sport, health, weird news and a sprinkling of video discoveries. It was the first time I’d heard about high heels for women drivers, which I think are a great idea.

Susan Suarez has a self-named blog which has been set up to help others build traffic and revenue from their own blogs. In addition, she also runs Got2BeGreen, a solid, practical environmental resource, and Housing Lot Online, for people looking for a mortgage or home loan. All three are full of useful, practical advice, and are also fine examples of clean web design.

Riley Central is run by Damien Riley from California, USA. I loved looking at his photographs of Victorville, and enjoyed reading the description of the town in which he lives. Damien is another blogger who demonstrates good web design, too.

Let’s close with today’s second blog from Singapore, Missy Zee’s Zynamic Gala. I like how she uses the crime metaphor throughout the site: confessions, witnesses, close-up evidence. Very clever. Missy has just been through LASIK surgery on both eyes. I’m so glad to hear she’s feeling better, and that all went as planned.

Well, that’s all for today, folks. Have a good week!

    Hey, thanks for the pingback, but I’m not from the US.
    I’m swiss.

    Feel free to suggest me something to look for on my blog’s database.

    Maurizio, my apologies. I’ve amended the post to reflect the fact that you’re from Switzerland ':-)'

    But your BlogCatalog profile says that you’re from the United States, which is where I got that information:

    This is amazing. I was actually doing the same thing when I came across your blog of course I call my Blog Stumbling versus a Blog Walkabout but the idea is the same. Hope you don’t mind if I include you in mine for today. Excellent work by the way.

    Hey Baxter,

    Thanks for the link. I am glad to hear that you like my site. In yet another coincidence I just started up a new feature where I will be linking to various articles every Saturday. I am actually creating a dedicated page to those sites that have something similar. I am thus going to add both this site and Susan’s site.

    Thanks again. I hope everyone has a great day today.

    I just registered with BlogCatalog and I think is really annoying to fill all those stuff.

    I usually say where I come from just when I’m asked by a human being. People have some strange feelings about Switzerland sometimes.

    Andrew: I’d recommend your blog to anyone looking to get into web development. I’ve been tweaking on the very fringes of PHP, but I haven’t gotten into CSS yet (though I bought a couple of books about both, I haven’t had time to read them yet). And I look forward to reading your recommendations on Saturdays; the spookiness continues!

    Maryam: no problem. I really did enjoy your blog. I’d love to visit North Africa at some point. Everything looks so exotic and, well, different. Different lifestyle, different pace. I always enjoy reading blogs from anywhere off the beaten track. Great work!

    Maurizio: Asking where you come from enables people to look up bloggers from a specific country. If I’d been looking for someone from Switzerland (and I do often browse by country for the walkabouts), I wouldn’t have found you! It also helps the BlogCatalog folk with demographics. And I can assure you that, personally, I have no strange feelings whatsoever about Switzerland, or any other country for that matter. The walkabouts always have an international perspective, which is quite deliberate.

    Eh, I’m not that mysterious. I’m just too boring to describe. Also, I need to start watching movies that require less preparation work. Way too tiring!

    Lis, anyone who has only a single name (either first name or second name) falls into “mysterious” here ';-)'

    And I’m not surprised you’re tired after all you did!

    Baxter,

    I hope that my CSS lessons have taught you a thing or two. After I cover a little bit more on CSS I am going to start tackling PHP, Javascript, and everything else that can come in handy for potential web designers. My hope is that I can turn those books of yours into reference guides only.

    Susan: thanks for your kind comment!

    Andrew: I’m looking forward to it already.
