I’ve also been buying ebooks in PDF and ePub format. Reading these ebooks have been less than ideal because I’ve had…
I’m sure that many of your friends and family has asked you “What’s this blogging thing?” or “Can you help me with my blog?”
And then.. you want to help them but sometimes they have so many questions and you need to go off and do your own thing but you’re paiseh to say no to them because this is your friend / favourite auntie…

Yours truly was quoted in the New Sunday Times today in an article called Blogging, so yesterday. The article title is not really accurate though, since both Julian and I say quite definitively that blogging is here to stay and not going away.
