The Chronicles of a Steel City Man

  • Blogging 101…Task 9…An inspired post…

     A post that inspired me … well where do I start ? so many of the bloggers 101 have inspired me with their literary skills and the ability to string words together in a way that grips you, along with the everyday kind of life full of pain, recovery, idealism, love and happiness…it has been…

  • Blogging 101…Task 8…Commenting on other Blogs

    Well…still on catch up….Since I retired, it makes me wonder how the devil did I ever fit WORK into my life ?? Where does the time go?? I think I know the answer to that one..it just goes by quicker, like a roller coaster going downhill it picks up speed… Commenting on four other Blogs…

  • Blogging 101…Task 7… Headers and backgrounds…

    Well Peeps, I really feel a bit of a fraud. The reason being I’ve been asked to fiddle with a layout (Backgrounds and Headers) that I really like…I don’t want to change it, I LOVE it as it is. I really did chop and change when I was first building my ‘Blogosphere’ and the one…

  • Blogging 101…Task 6…Make an Irresistible “About” Page

    OK…How irresistible do you want me to be ? … How irresistible CAN I be ?  Do I WANT  to be irresistible ? It would be nice to have an ‘About’ page that readers could find irresistible, but I don’t think for a minute I could write anything, a few lines even, that would make me…

  • 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…
