  • Gun Control Is Not Always The Answer!

    A blogger I have been following for a while now..John’s Blog is well worth a visit. He certainly stirred me to reply with a critique as well as applause…see what you think and let him know.

  • Blogging 101…Task 5…Experiment with new themes…

    I did a lot of experimenting with themes last year on Blogging 101….and so I have tried again with more new ones this time round. I actually tried 12 new ones but came to the same conclusion I arrived at last year when I changed from the ‘Blue’ Motion theme to the present one, ‘Chateau’…..…

  • What a grand day !!!…

    What a grand day it is today … all up to date with the Blogging 101 exercise…the sun is shining and warming things up to the tune of 32 C … listening to England getting the better of Australia in the Test Match (for the moment) with Sheffield’s own Joe Root leading the way…and a glass…

  • Blogging 101…Task 4 … Focusing on your audience

    After this post I will have caught up and be on track with the majority of 101’ers, so let’s crack on and do the deed…. I’ve thought long and hard about this post…well, for the last hour anyway, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t think about a specific audience for the blog,…

  • Blogging 101…Task 3 (Topics ‘n Blogs)

    Right then…Still playing catch up, but I think I’m getting there…I think !! Todays task … or was it yesterdays task ?.. maybe it was the day before’s task… (it must be an age thing!!!)…Anyway the task at hand is to choose 5 topics of interest and follow 5 blogs concerning those topic (I think).…

  • Task Two…Titles and Tags…

    I decided to keep my Title because ‘Steelcityman’ sums up where I come from (no, NOT Pittsburgh PA, but Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England ). Sheffield has always been known world wide for the quality of it’s steel, especially Stainless Steel, 276px-Yorkshire_rose_svgso I’m quite happy with the title. Like ALL Yorkshire folk, I’m immensely proud of…

  • Breasts are multifunction devices

    Originally posted on rachel.blog: I made the mistake  yesterday of following the #breastfeeding hashtag on Twitter. Most of it was good reading but there were a few comments from people who objected to breastfeeding. I have never met anyone personally who claims to be offended by breastfeeding so this was new for me and quite astonishing.…

  • RUGBY UNION…the game of the God’s.

    No BLOGGING 101 tasks this weekend, evidently they allow us a rest two days a week….thank you http://Wordpress.com . So..I’ll do an everyday blog from the Steel City on this very overcast but warm September day.  It’s a perfect day for a game of RUGBY UNION, or, at my age, watching a game of RUGBY…

  • 1001 page kisses !!!

  • A belated update on the ‘Bad Apple Saga’…

    Well my faithfull readership…if there are any readers left !! If there are none (readers) then these words will forever drift, unread, in the ether or cyberspace. Ether sounds better..more spiritual and etheral. Anyway an update for the Bad Apple saga is overdue so I will attempt to describe what it was like when it…
