Google+ is now my blog

Well I’ve gone and done it, I’ve now pointed my domains to my +Google+ page. Specifically to a search address that shows all the tidy stuff (not the status update-like posts etc.). My other blogs (WordPress.com being the main one) are sitting there/here collecting dust and no one reads them plus I’m always on Google+ so it [...]

Rugby vs. Football: What Football Could Learn From Rugby

Well I’m hoping all you rugby fans are enjoying the World Cup so far?  Good.  I’m happy, although England went out against France, I’m happy to see the best rugby-playing team in the final and surely, at last, will be World Champions.  New Zealand not only play rugby the way it’s supposed to be played [...]

Google+ Search Operators Wish-List

My Google+ Hashtags

Yeah I know they don’t really work on Google+ (I live in hope though ) but as you can see I’m already adding tags to most of my posts. Most of the time they are generic tags like #tech but I’ve just been tidying up some old posts and have added the following (potentially) useful tags… at [...]

Some new Google+ themes, maybe? :-)

I’ve got a few themes for my blog, daily tags I use each week. I’m sure you’ve heard of them or even used them before but they are not so popular on Google+ yet. Maybe we could use them? Either way here’s my themes I’m going to try to stick to them here on Google+ [...]

My Podcasts

Following on from my Google Reader Feeds posts yesterday here is a list of podcasts I try to keep up with. I tend to skip some with a particular subject or person being interviewed is not really of interest to me (such as on the Richard Bacon show). Some I skip through, like the New Music Matters [...]

My ‘Regular’ Sites: Sites I Visit Only Once a Day or Once a Week

This post relates to my Google Reader feeds post here: https://plus.google.com/104405539079062799451/posts/ZGsh5XvYSvp Part of the GReader tidy-up included a few sites I unsubscribed from but moved to my “Regulars” bookmark folder.
