The Cobweb is like some sort of anti-blog. For a start, entries sprawl in their tone and topic. We’re each always talking across each other. Last time I spoke to Xaosseed, we were musing the fact that his real name comes out pretty cleanly, without reference to this place, or his other adventures in blogging (not even the HP/League slash-fiction crossover site he has*)

What is interesting is that we do do well on some topics. This month, our top search has been for the Nigerian Embassy in Dublin, for which we have received several hits to said HP-fan’s entry about €40 well(?) spent.

All sorts of weird crap appears when I google my own name, so I think I will probably spend more time explaining which ones aren’t me than accounting for what I have written, if the Tavrchedl’ ever take me in for an interview.

(*Ok I probably made that up)

    The nature of blogging has changed since we all started blogging, and since we started this collaboration. People expect blogs to be on a topic (political blogs, news blogs, knit blogs, or navel-gazing blogs), and we’re too busy to be good topic bloggers and too experienced to air all our personal issues on the web. I tell people this blog is meant for us all to keep in touch — the Cobweb writers as well as all the people who read (and hopefully comment).

    My name, as of last vanity Google, also comes up clean. I’ve had to be militant about keeping it that way, but so far it’s worked out.

    I may have to flee the continent… oh, wait…
