more content in German | mehr Inhalt auf deutsch What the world needs is more nazis
Like it needs a hole in the head
Your future is not safe at all
’til this disease is dead
We gotta stop those fucking nazis
(Roger Taylor, “Nazis 1994”)
Won’t somebody think of the children?
Just read on ZDF teletext (p.143) about some unusual names some (in this case Belgian) parents give their children officially: Edelweiss, If or Jihade for girls, Rolex, Daddy or Babyface-Ralph for boys.
How can anyone seriously get these ideas?
Blog Tips No.755
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…).
Content overview:
- Clean up the sidebar(s)
- Readability
- Test different browsers
- Test without JavaScript
- Link colors
- Don’t mix languages
- Don’t carry it to far
Icons
No, Oliver from aptgetupdate.de, you’re not the last one to hear about the German “Blogosphäre in Icons” – at most, last but one. 
It’s a nice project, it’s just bound to become more and more confusing the more blogs participate. But you can just click somewhere at random and see what kind of blog shows up, just like you can throw a dart at a map to determine where to spend your vacation.
(No, I’m not telling you to throw a dart at the monitor.) 
Edit: I just made it so that 7 bit are sufficient – I’m number 127 in the list. 
Music Quotes
This used to be a list of all music quotes, i.e. song lyrics excerpts, that used to be displayed below (almost) every post. Mostly because of the efforts to find new and unused quotes for new posts and because one day some copyright fetishist might complain, they have been removed quite some time ago.
