…being “bribed” 
with 24 cans of an energy drink to place an ad banner on their blog. (In the German blogosphere.) Basically, a nice idea – since I don’t like such drinks that much myself, though, I’ll pass. (A lewd pun I wrote in German doesn’t work here.)
A question, by the way: Do you have to pay taxes for these advertising incomes? How would that work – take a few cans to your local tax officer (or your minister of finance)? 
Apparently, nowadays everyone must have a blog – God has one, too! (He chose to write in German, though.) At least the god of the christians and jews, the others – with the exception of the Flying Spaghetti Monster – are not linked. But maybe that’s to come in the future…
Anyway, it’s nice to read the (funny, interesting, worth reading – if youi speak German, that is) heavenly insights from a being that doesn’t even exist. 
Take a look, unless you’re humorless fundamentalists (well, maybe you should then, especially):

…I noticed that my blog is one year old today – it started with (in addition to “Hello World”) photos from the Freddie Mercury Montreux Memorial Day 2004 and 2006.
Is that a reason to celebrate, even though it went quite quietly for a long time and half of the posts is younger than 3 months?
I am – after some days “scratching at the door” – in the Top 100,000 on Technorati!. 
Mainly thanks to the favorite/link campaign from earlier this month. Before that, I had just an authority of 2 and a rank of 2,500,000 and change.
And what’s the meaning of all this? Correct: Nothing! . 
About two weeks after the beginning of the Technorati link campaign, through which I got to know many other blogs (and got a few more visitors myself), I wanted to write together a few thinks that came to my mind about blogging and blog design. I don’t claim that these are absolutely new (hence the not really serious no. 755 in the title), since there are other (and often better, more extensive ) articles with blog tips elsewhere – e.g. at Daily Blog Tips, Lorelle on WordPress (both Englisch), BlogForMoney.de, Software Guide, Perun (all German), to name but a few.
It’s just about my opinions(!) and experiences with things that I came across while working on my own blog and on my journey through the world of blogs (where I don’t want to insult anybody even remotely – I don’t tell any names, anyway…).
