In "Ooh...Competiton", I discussed my growing awareness of other blogs dedicated to random topics, mentioning that, "I'll cover others I come across at a later time. When I can be bothered."
Well, now I can.
The latest one to garner my attention (to be honest, I've come across it before), is Blog of Randomness by Ruth a.k.a. "Devilish_Jelly_Beanz". Its tagline gives the gist of it: "Exactly what it says in the title :D Jokes,meme's,videos whatever... just random stuff heh".
Just like the last blog I covered, hers predates mine: its first entry (which isn't allowing me to specifically link to) dates from March 27, 2006 and merely features an image of a cat with a halo 'round its head, behind a sign reading, "Nobody's Purrfect".
Although, I'll give her points for sheer volume: at current count, she has posted 184 items against my 97 (including this very blog entry). Of course, I've accumulated my amount since October 2009. Also, hers appears to be primarily composed of YouTube clips, bad jokes and surveys on herself.
Her blog is at least much more up-to-date than others of its type: its latest post is from December 1, 2009.
Appearance-wise, it's horrible. Not that my blog's black, pale green, light grey and purple motif is much to write home about, but it still beats her pale blue background, proliferate ads and brown and pink text:
She also appears to have a spin-off blog called, The Blog of Me, which has the following dictum: "The Blog Of Me.....where you can read my ramblings :) Might be interesting, might be boring, might even be just plain random and silly. But whatever it is, ya free to read it heh".
It includes several posts devoted to cysts (See: "ONly a couple more days...", "No results yet", "And the results are in" and "A quick blog").
The blog's got a much cleaner design (still yucky, though), but's still rank with ads. In her defence, they're probably a stipulation of blog.co.uk, rather than an attempt to gain an (incredibly meager) income.
