Every blogger stops blogging once in a while, it could be because they wanted a break or maybe because they fell sick or was too busy. My question to you is – Do you apologize to your readers for not posting?
I know I have. I did a quick search and found 3 posts where I had done it.

Ultimate Flash Face is a great tool that allows you to create Face Sketches very easily. You can start designing from scratch or use an existing sketch from their database designed by other users.
Face elements like hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, etc can be brought to the canvas or ‘face area’ by just clicking on the different styles they have provided. The different elements can then be resized to your liking. The opacity of the elements can also be changed.
The final sketch can be saved in their database for others to see or you can even print it out for yourself.
By the way, did you like Female face I designed?

A few weeks back I had checked on a few popular blogs having 1000+ RSS readers and one thing that caught my eye was a big RSS icon that they used to attract subscribers.
The trick is simple, just download the above RSS icon, place it somewhere on top of your blog’s sidebar (or wherever your readers will notice) and link to your feed address.
I tried it the last few days and it does seem to help. But ofcourse, quality content is what really matters if you want to have a large RSS readership.
Have you tried this tip? If yes, has it helped you?
Update: My RSS readers just increased from 393 to 523. May be this tip worked for me?
AdsBlackList version 1 was fine, but after using version 2 my AdSense revenue reduced down to 50% ! After removing all the URL’s, that AdsBlackList had generated for my site, from the AdSense Competitive Filter List, I now get the same earnings as I used to get before I used AdsBlackList v2 
Has your AdSense earnings improved after using AdsBlackList?
After a few days of work, I managed to finish designing the new theme and made it compatible in IE 6 this time. I have optimized it for AdSense and tried to make the theme fast loading too.
I removed a few unnecessary images and also disabled Gravatars plugin as I noticed that most of the commenters did not have a Gravatar, and so it was just making the page load slow.
Last week I had started a Poll on Preference for Sidebars on a 3 Column Theme. Thanks to all the 93 people who voted.
The option with the most votes (48) was together. 45 people voted for ‘on both sides’. This just means that there are an almost equal number of people who like having sidebars together and on both sides on a 3 Column Theme.

Today I got a PM from a friend on my Yahoo! Messenger buddy list with a link to an image. Since it was only an image and that too from a friend, I clicked the link and was taken to an error page. This was the PM -

These days I find an increasing number of bloggers using 2 column themes with 3 or 4 column footer. They have used the footer to place links for Categories, Recent Entries, Del.ico.us, Flickr, Blogroll, etc.
Seriously I feel placing links on the footer is big mistake as your readers may not notice them. How many readers do you think will scroll all the way down to notice them? Not all of them…that is why I have placed my links on the header.
