How to become a DropaHolic
I have been asked a couple of times ‘how do I become a DropaHolic? Do I need to drop on 300 blogs a day?’. Well the answer to the second question is easy. NO. There is no need to drop on 300 blogs a day well not at this early stage of the DropaHolics list [...]
Almost time for the ‘pre budget’ report
I realise the world is in a financial mess at the moment and the governments have to do something but I am really frustrated about what is expected to come from this afternoon’s pre budget report’. I haven’t watched it yet so what happens could be totally different. Firstly we are expecting a 2.5% reduction [...]

each time I use Internet explorer

I have verified that the feed is correct, the javascript works perfectly in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer it just messes everything up. Maybe one day [...]
143 blogs registered already
I know there was 100 blogs registered before I announced DropAHolics here but it’s good to see people continue to register their blogs. There are currently 143 blogs which are having their top droppers ‘Dropaholics’ monitored and a total of more than 700 Dropaholics in the database. At the moment you can see a list [...]
New site for fun
I thought for fun it would be interesting to see who the top droppers are on Entrecard, I do not mean necessarily those that drop 300 a day but more those that appear on the ‘top droppers’ lists of other Entrecard blogs. I have set up a site called Dropaholics for a bit of fun, [...]
one of my favorite blogs
is The Lady Programmer and is one I try to visit and ‘drop on’ as often as I can. This is a blog by a freelance programmer which as a coder myself is what attracted me to the blog, thinking it would be programming related but it’s not, she offers useful posts such as http://www.theladyprogrammer.com/2008/09/earn-by-doing-paid-reviews-with.html [...]
I’m not political but
why are we still getting more coverage of Obama in our news than we do our own government even though the US election was last week? I’m all for knowing about world news but for months now there have basically been two top news stories here in the UK, Credit crunch and US Election. The [...]
