Man with three blogs
Not content with Life in Chippendale and Breakfast Bytes, I've started Lyric Of The Day.
This new blog won't necessarily be about music or lyrics that I like — just lyrics that seem to pop out of a song and hang in the air for moment, whether good, bad or ugly.
In starting this blog, the first thing I've learnt is that a lot of the music I listen to contains completely forgettable lyrics. For example, this morning the iPod shuffled onto Midnight Oil, and yes I loved it. But the lyrics were like a high school essay — no hidden layers, no double meanings, absolutely no subtedly. Definately not material that's fit for Lyric Of The Day.

Joseph, I'm not sure where you are based, but here in Australia passing off is a criminal offence.
Oh god, does this mean I have to start blog No.4 or reopen my Rex Mundi blog? :)
You're a very busy man Steve. No wonder I never see you at the Duck and Swan....
Hey Steve, thanks for submitting your blogs on to australianblogs.com.au
Esp. like this one. As an ex-Sydneysider I only popped down to Chippendale for the Kidstuff store and Amnesty International Aust + the Abercrombie(?) Hotel where they have Redback on tap! YAY
Anyway, thanks again.

Hey Jon, Australian Blogs is a great initiative. How do you add/change tags after submitting a blog? After submitting breakfastbytes.com I realised most PR blogs were using "pr" as a tag. I used "public relations", which of course breaks into two tags: "public" and "relations". I'd like to add "pr".
Hey Steve,
Fixed! Added 'pr' and amended tags to 'publicrelations'.
Sorry for the late reply - it's been nuts since our launch on Mar 20th. Thanks for your very kind words!
It was a conscious decision to not have logins and thus, editable URLs. We were keen to minimise any potential mischief with URL editing. If a blogger wanted to amend their tags then it would just be a matter of submitting a new one. This way, we figured it would also allow for blogs evolving from one interest area to others (which may happen over time). The ultimate choice would rest with the potential readership (and rightly so).
Drop me a line at email@australianblogs.com.au, I'd love to pick your brain.
PS. I know it's not Chippendale but I loved Una's, the german restaurant up the road. Last time I was there, the owner/manager (I forget his name) wheeled out his schnapps trolley...enough said.
Cheers
Jon
Hmmm.... schnapps.... good....
I've sent your comment to my work account so I can drop you a line after Easter.
I've seen two-word tags around the traps taking the form "public+relations" and have been meaning to poke around for a resource to explain if/how/whether that works/should work/is or is not a standard. You'd know about this stuff; is it an acceptable tag form?
Hey Steve,
I guess, as per my blog post and in keeping with the 'people power' principle, how tags are structured are really up to the user. However, what I have done in the intial stages have been to keep it to tags without punctuation etc., so that we can get a fuzzy standard/nomenclature (not everyone reads the HELP pages before submitting their blog).
I've really wound back my artificial interventions in this last few weeks and only do so when bloggers drop me an email requesting amendments.
Happy Easter to you and all your readers!
Cheers,
Jon
All makes sense to me. Catch up with you after Easter.
