Drive:Activated - Blog of the Day
1 May 2007
Compared to most other web sites, blogs have the freedom to stretch the boundaries of design. But only talented web designers have the skills to produce something spectacular. Unfortunately, the rest of us bloggers have to be satisfied with modifying templates. Sometimes even those with super skills to make their blog look deadly are using said skills to pay the bills.
However, a blog I added to the Australian blog search index this morning is by far the sexiest looking Australian blog I’ve seen recently. Which is why Drive:Activated (found via the comments at Meg’s Dipping into the Blogpond) has been selected as today’s Blog of the Day.
This personal blog of a 20 year old Melbourne student is a great example of how to make an impact with your blog’s design in a simple way. The fact that he is a very active blogger with some good ideas makes Drive:Activated a “must read” blog. Congrats on an excellent effort Samuel!

The Local - Blog of the Day…

With the Logies coming up, here’s my acceptance speech -
“OMG, thank you for this award! I never would’ve thought I would be here, in such short period of time. I would like to thank all the people that have supported me, all the people who have commented, linked or was otherwise involved. I would not have been here if it weren’t for you all - this award belongs to all of you! (stumbles, faints from the heat, bright lights, and copious amounts of alcohol)”
Yes, I’m a TV addict.
P.S. Anthony, given you’re running a site about blogs, I’d love to know how many feeds you read regularly and how long it takes you - must take ages!
Hi Sam,
While being a TV lover myself, we’re kind of anti-Logies around these parts but you are the Blog of the Day so we’ll let the acceptance speech slide.
I’ve had crazy numbers in my readers before like 700+ but dropped it back just to 20 which are the ones I have/want to keep a close eye on. I found that there is very little info that we get that needs to be dealt with ASAP. The other blogs I read I just visit once a week via bookmark folders in Firefox and click “open all in tabs” then work my way through them. Total Numbers? Have no idea. Time? Don’t want to think about it.
Cheers,
Anthony
Whoops, I forgot to put two and two together. I actually checked out your personal site in a different tab, but got distracted with the tons of other tabs I had open (praying Firefox doesn’t crash too). Damn feeds grrr.
