As stated when I first started making my site open for advertisements, I will always disclose when a blog post is a part of a paid advertisement. As I choose my advertisers probably as carefully as they choose me, I make sure to proudly support local business. My latest advertiser has opted in for a […]

When Dennis from The Beta News and Connected Internet contacted me about an ongoing segment/feature he writes I was more than happy to bear all. All of my desktop that is. “Show Me Your Desktop” is an opportunity to find out more about bloggers around the world while getting a sneak peek at their desktops, […]

For months Duane was sitting there at the top of the Google heap when you searched “Vancouver Blogger“.

Some Nominees (there are many more categories […]
