on second thought: OLDCATMAN

OK, last week, I panned the heck out of his Weblog Review entry:

1.5~OLDCATMAN SPEAKS: Sat. June 21, 2003 [Entry Link=NZB 404 Page MY LINK WORKS!] ~Catman Speaks, but does anyone really want to listen? Another really neophyte blogger who is still needing to get a clue as to what it is all about. First off, do individual posts. Do not put all the things you have to say into one day's post. What is it with your formatting? Are you cutting and pasting from another program? Your lines are extremely ragged. Is that a template from Blogger? I am almost sure the most atrocious Blogger template looked better than that. Several stories were mentioned, and yet not one solitary link. Actually, I did notice a fairly good sense of humor in the post, and I think Catman can evolve into a blogger with some regular following once he gets the hang of blogging. I did actually find a few of his comments to be quite funny. Hang in there Catman. Too bad you wasted your one and only chance of entering the New Weblog Showcase before you were ready to shine. He tried, I found it, and another notch for good measure.

Oldcatman finally found his review and commented. His writing style is attrocious, but the comment made me laugh. I decided to check his blog, to see if he still has that template, and to see if his formatting had improved. The template is still there and the formatting is still horrible, but I began to read. And I found myself scrolling and reading further and further down the page. After you get accustomed to the writing style, catman writes really funny shit!

Some of ya'll gurus give the guy a hand with template design and moving off of blog*spot.

I am blogrolling OLDCATMAN.

WELL, THANK YOU SIR.......I WRITE LIKE I THINK AND SPEAK..SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LAWYER (SUED ONE IN CALIFORNIA FOR MALPRACTISE ONCE). AFTER WRITING TO DAYS BRAIN FARTS, I CRUISED THRU MY BLOGSPOT FILES. I TRIED TO SELECT ONE OF THE SET FORMATS AND IT WOULDN'T WORK....I THINKS ITS BECAUSE I HAVE THE FREEBIE VERSION.
HOPEFULLY, SOME COMPUTER NERD (I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TERM) WILL IN FACT ASSIST ME AT
oldcatman@worldnet.att.net AND BLOGSPOT WILL ALLOW TO BUY A UPGRADE BY CHECK. UNTIL I FART AGAIN,

THX.
