Brought to you by A List Apart: 10 Tips on Writing the Living Web. Well written and lots to think about. Blogs have a tendency to grow, to change, to evolve. As you work through that process, the points in this article are good ones to think about.

By the way, if you take cold medicine and sleep most of the day, you’ll find that you are pretty wide awake around midnight. I think I’m starting to lose my voice, and this is not a good thing. I have clients I need to call this week – do you realize how hard it is to make a call when you don’t have a voice?

Project Cryo. I really think I should mod my mouse like that. Too bad I don’t have a Dremel to help me do it. I wonder if there is one waiting for me to purchase in my Gold Box at Amazon? [via Justin]

As if the Blogwhore game wasn’t enough, I’ve signed up to do it again. This time I’m getting to play in one of Ernie’s games. Ernie, in case you didn’t know, is the game MASTER. Coming soon to a browser near you … Big Blogger, the Allstars Edition. Twelve seasoned web-game contestants. Thirty-five days. You, the public, decide who wins. Unlike Blogwhore, this time YOU … yes, YOU … the public … get to vote people off.

I would just like to point out that if I had been a teen-age mother, there are some contestants that are young enough to be my children. I am the oldest one – by a few years. Good God, what have I gotten myself in to?

You know, it seems like just yesterday … and at other times it seems like Robyn has always been a part of my life. But it’s only been a year – or it has already been a year, depending on how you want to look at it. Either way, just a year ago she wondered if she could keep this whole blogging thing up. Happy Blogiversary, Robyn! I knew you could do it. And I’m really glad that you have. *smooch!*

Edited: Oops. Thanks to having another headache, I just realized that today is just the 10th. Her 1 year mark is actually on the 12th – which is Monday. Well, let me just be ahead of the game and congratulate her a few days early – Monday is going to be a crazy day at work, and I’ll be lucky if I get to post. So … Happy Blogiversary a few days early!
