Like a love affair gone array, this is one being put on hold.
Years ago I started to read the blogs after being sent a link by a friend. The blog was that of the late Rugby Guru and I started my own. The blogging community was not as big but it was lekka being here. My first two Post got massive readership and I continued, writing things my way.
Over the years the platform has undergone many changes. They say “Change is as good as a holiday” but in my opinion this has not been the overall consensus amongst Sport 24 bloggers with our move from Letterdash to Word Press. LD was not perfect, far from it, but it was what we were used to and it worked for us. Word Press is a excellent blogging platform, BUT it is one where you have to get accustomed to, and only once you are familiar with all these new fancier settings and options, widgets, plug ins etc, then you can blog.
What has made this move more difficult is the fact that everything that was seemingly easy on LD is a mission. For example, I had difficulty setting up my Headers and Backgrounds, something fairly easy to do, but it never came out the way my settings told me it would. I thought that maybe it was displayed differently because I am logged on on said PC, so I did it and went to view the blog from my Ipad and from my Laptop but both showed me what I was not happy with. Being told that your browser is outdated when you running IE9 is just bogus.
Then there is the Spam filter which is limited to Sport 24 blogs. It is something highly irratating, and I have been the love of 5 different woman over the last week, won $10000000 in the lottery and am waiting on a cheque from Bill Gates because I clicked on a link.
Where I got much more readers on LD, and had regular contributions, there is little to none now. I have to look for a Sport Post between all the writing of Louis Vutton bag sales and Martha Steward lectures in Ohio. What the hell does this have to do with Sport?
I think that the Sport24 readership will take a dip as will the blog site. They are just not getting anything done. So for now, I will still visit my blog, make some comments from time to time but will switch my attention to my other Word Press Blog, http://www.sportsoapies.wordpress.com
I am in the process of setting up a website in the very near future and will let you know when it’s up and running. From what I can gather it will contain posts as well as sporting news, twitface updates, live scoring etc. I will also welcome other bloggers to post on there, but as I say, it’s still in it’s baby stages.
So for now, Cheerio people, here is to hoping that the Sharks win tomorrow.
Sharks Groete!!

Found your blog and linked. The first widget to activate there is Akismet the spam blocker, it works exceptionally well.
Sharks Groete. Sien jou by Nuweland die dag as ons die Stromers trap. Ek koop vir jou n paar dubbel brannas en coke. Cheers
ja Mick,ons gaan dronk raak my vriend
ja thnx powa, il edit etc as the weekend progress
“I have been the love of 5 different woman over the last week” – whahaha! I received the same message. Stupid spam!
Damn you guys are hot property haha I got only one!
As one who doesn’t blog but loves commenting, this new setup fails in terms of spontaneous, back and forth traffic. Where we had verbal sparring ,downright personal abuse and non stop witticisms; we now have a rather bland and unexciting desert. Where are all the Kitch, Hugo and Pink Cow word wars? In fact where is Kitch? I almost miss him.
Ja, there seems to be a missing element…that back n forth banter between the guys…well Kitch is probably soaking up lots of Open, TDF and Test…We will see him on Monday
I see Kitch left a comment on his last post over a month ago that he is done blogging. Something about the new platform not working for him.
Pity, the past few weekend wasn’t English sport’s finest.
Your background worked for a brief moment…sadly it got covered by green and blue….
ja bonkers hey…had this hot brazilian mama chita…mmmm
REM, I like the old blogs because it was a simple log on and comment or blog or read. I know fokkol about spam filters, widgets and such kak….I mean c’mon, nothing was broken! Where to now, where have all the folks gone?
As I posted this it said my comment is waiting for moderation….what about all the handbag sales and shoes etc. Fail 24.com Fail ex-letterdash
lol PaulJay, it’s basically where i have to approve your comment but when you subscribe to my blog then your comments come through naturaly…it takes some getting used to but this site is rather daft so im going to my own wp blog where i can do what i want
