Side-tracks

I'm still new to blogging, I'm still learning what you can do with blogs. I spend a lot of my on-line time wandering around a small list of blogs, most of which you can find in my sidebar. On these blogs I visit, once I've read the latest posts, I often start wandering through their sidebar links. Using the principle that, if I like their posts I'm also going to like the people they've selected to link to, I can find myself miles away, blog-wise, from where I started. There aren't the hours in the day to travel enough of the net.

I put up a link to an MP3 blog in my side bar some time ago. It was a site I had discovered even before I started my own blog. It's quite easy to spot if you want to take a look. The good Doctor visited here once and decided it was the most noteworthy thing about the site. He was at least honest enough to say so on his own blog.

Today, though, I'm honouring Taiga, firstly for her Superloner Advent Calender, and secondly for one of her sidebar links that I've only just discovered. First of all, have a look at Taiga-Tails, as I call her, and then have a look down her sidebar for The Hype Machine. I'm holding off from putting it straight into my sidebar because I didn't discover it for myself; I'd feel guilty stealing from Taiga.

Of course, you don't have to go look: not everyone likes the surreal, which Taiga excels at, or new sounds, which the Hype Machine pumps out effortlessly. If you want something a bit more mundane, Albert's playing with trains. It makes a change from bicycles.
