Only just got up after a codeine-induced lie-in.
After conducting a little experiment in her virtual laboratory, Dr Cakesniffer presented her results to her peers in the Blogosphere:
Introduction
Weblogs ("blogs") provide contributors with the opportunity to project their ideas, present their work or create online journals via the a user-friendly interface of a personal webpage. The quality of blogs is variable and, although no systematic reviews of blog quality exist, anecdotal evidence suggests that most are poor quality, incomplete, and ill thought-out piles of crap. It was therefore timely to conduct some preliminary work in order to collect pilot data that will inform protocol development for a larger study.
Methodology
All blogs currently represented in the Cakesniffer blogroll, plus a selection of others, were visited sequentially. After the pages were allowed to fully load, the "Next blog" button was pressed in order to activate the migration from the named site. The resultant pages were viewed and the urls recorded.

The table shows the originating page and “next blog” for each blog in the Sniffy Blogroll. The “next blogs” were generally not very interesting, some consisted of advertising sites, none warranted any action other than copying the url and blog title.
Conclusions
Most blogs are shit. How I found Angry Chimp amongst that crap is beyond me.
Next time you’re visiting a blog and you think “This is really good”, tell the author and tell your mates.

I have a blog on your list that you say is crap. So what. i will post my opinions and ideas freely as will you, and from what I can tell, you use big words and are basically a non-talented piece of crap. Just like the rest of us.
Woa there Dan! You didn't read the post properly did you? All I was doing was having a look at what happens when you click "next blog" from those blogs that were in my roll at the time. I wasn't saying whether the resulting hits were bad or good, it was just an experiment, something to do while bored.
I quote "The “next blogs” were generally not very interesting, some consisted of advertising sites, none warranted any action other than copying the url and blog title.

Maybe you should read it a little closer.
I am sorry that i was so harsh in my first comment.
I appreciate the critisism. I hope that we do not start a war over this. I will be nicer in the future.
Hello, Just wandering the blogosphere and happened on your blog. I like the way how you have put it all together. I'll be coming back again.
Regards,
