Some may just want to read and not post comments. I still think that Technorati rankings are accurate, relatively speaking, when comparing bloggers with bloggers.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-71615600498595353132007-04-20T23:26:00.000+08:002007-04-20T23:26:00.000+08:00I think technorati rankings should be taken with a...I think technorati rankings should be taken with a pinch of salt sometimes. Mine is something like 24,000 but I seriously doubt that I have a huge fanbase except for dear friends like you guys. ;) <BR/><BR/>What's more important is the number of regular readers that either subscribe or even better visit your blog on a regular basis. It is the interactions and engagements with fellow human beings that makes blogging the killer application that it is. <BR/><BR/>BTW, you do know that Michelle Quek is one of the bloggers on STOMP's Star Blog right? While I think STOMP is trying all they can to attract visitors (and they do have a lot), I wonder sometimes if too much exposure can change the nature of celebrity bloggers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583607062793779274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-43558930251465345232007-04-20T01:12:00.000+08:002007-04-20T01:12:00.000+08:00Noel - I have left you a comment at your post.Than...Noel - I have left you a comment at <A HREF="http://noelbynature.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-should-get-down-to-doing-this.html" REL="nofollow">your post</A>.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tag.

When you click on it, I think it is supposed to say aloud the letters for you to key into the box.

It ...Meow - Thanks for your very profound comments. It certainly shows that you did your homework, hehe.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I am just curious - do you have a blog? If so, I would like to visit and read your posts as I think that they will be very interesting reads and I can learn a lot from you. If you don't have a blog, do seriously consider starting one as you definitely have a flair for writing (sensible and not mundane stuff, I mean).<BR/><BR/>Most parents will support their children's actions, at times somewhat blindly. I don't know if you remember this local controversy that happened a few years ago - a daughter of a VIP passed a derogatory comment about elitism in her blog at someone. Although the VIP said sorry on behalf of his daughter, he said that he felt that his daughter was not completely at fault.<BR/><BR/>In the first place, why should he be apologising on behalf of his daughter? Seems to me that he was over-protecting her. He should have let her sort out her own problems that she created herself.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I agree with you that there is sometimes no clear cut right and wrong parties in such issues. Both sides have done some wrong but yet are right in some other ways. That is why such issues are so difficult to resolve, don't you think so?Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-30912573854401633992007-04-17T22:26:00.000+08:002007-04-17T22:26:00.000+08:00Vic: whose action you think was more right?IMHO ne...Vic: whose action you think was more right?<BR/><BR/>IMHO neither is "more right" than the other, both are entitled to their respective actions but must remember the possible consequence of it. <BR/><BR/>Michelle to flaunt whatever she wants to. She chose to forget the most likely nature of her "target audience" - intended or otherwise, that would be attracted to her, ahem, ... STYLE. (I myself, having peeked into her blog would prefer reading about breakfast cereal)<BR/><BR/>The "forumers" were as entitled as her to their view, however nasty. I agree completely with Helen Leong's statement. <BR/><BR/>What i did find surprising (if in fact it's true) is that her FATHER supports what she's doing????? Posting such provocative photos of herself on the net? revealing personal details?<BR/><BR/>If there's an issue of right or wrong involved in the whole silly episode, THIS is what i think is wrong. <BR/><BR/>Men may think it normal and even love to drool and w*** over titillating photos of SYTs but how many of them would approve and support their daughter being the SUBJECT of the drooooling and whatever?<BR/><BR/>Remember that she was still a minor at the time of posting.<BR/><BR/>No mention of what her mother thought though.<BR/><BR/>OT: The self-proclaimed princess can't seem to afford much for clothing material; either that or she's paying too much per meter of material.<BR/><BR/>Vic, loved your remark "Indeed, it is quite obvious from the photos on her blog that she is deeply in love and with whom."

You see, if you happened to be an 18-year-old SYT and posted photos on your blog (especially sexily and scantily-clad ones), you would soon attract <I>humsup lo's</I> (lechers) to your blog like bees to honey. That will drive up traffic/links to your blog and hence your Technorati blog ranking would shoot up as well. So you are right about that.
