This isn't intended to be a copy or replacement of Bane Nucleus' 'Post your blog here' sticky. More of an extension. Wormhole space nurtures an active and interesting blogging community and while it's fantastic we have a sticky post, it's just a list and therefore hard to tell people what they might be missing.

What I have done is created an alt for the illusion of impartiality and gone through the list to see what has been written in the last month or so. If people find this interesting, I may expand on this in the future and would welcome any extra input to perhaps look at ratings and recommendations. For now it is a simple summary of new posts on active blogs. Please leave feedback on both this review idea, whether it is useful as well as the blogs themselves on this thread or via mail. But please try to avoid being overly critical. The order below are the ones that have been active and as they appear in the sticky list. At the very least, it's something to read at work.


TJ Tamil - http://probesonscan.blogspot.co.uk/ A short post from TJ with an interesting perspective on new players and the WH/Eve in general.

Le'mon Tichim - http://thegreattichim.wordpress.com/ Ending with the statement that this will be the last post from him in a while, Le’mon blogs a retrospective about –EOL joining Sky Syndicate and the subsequent fallout.

Jack Miton - http://sihwm.blogspot.com.au/ Good blog from Jack with a little background on recent events with WG/BU/QEX etc amongst a few other shenanigans.

Karen Galeo - http://kgaleo.blogspot.com A couple of posts from Karen with some love for the new Gila rebalance.

Penny Ibramovic - http://www.tigerears.org/ Very active blog and well written. Most recently includes an in-depth account of ganking miners in null.

Jay Joringer - http://smug-bastard.blogspot.co.uk Two new ones from Jay. The more recent is an interesting view of FCing with input from a couple of other FC’s.

Yooch Forelli - http://ensignyooch.wordpress.com/ Very different in style to the regular blogs. Yooch’s write ups read like fiction shorts, which tend to work better when recounting mundane events. Maybe not for everyone, but worth a look all the same.

Rhavas - Interstellar Privateer - http://interstellarprivateer.wordpress.com RL > Eve? Condolences to Rhavas. Short, philosophical post and reminder that it is important to disconnect every now and again.

Longinius Spear - www.invadingyourhole.blogspot.com Ahh, finally a blog with a tl:dr! Longinius gives an account of his loitering with intent in TLC’s hole before their merge with DE.NY

TXG SYNC - http://txgsync.wordpress.com/ Latest post is an account of IOS vs Honeybadgers with video!

Red Neckromonger -http://redsroidrage.wordpress.com/ Good read, but not much WH in the latest post. And I couldn’t see the Chicken in the ice.

Erica Dusette - http://mewmew.webnode.com/wormhole-diaries/ Very well presented, in-character blog. Well written in the style of a diary, but the entries are numbered (no dates! Argh! - or I missed them?) making it difficult for potential reviewers to say there is new content on a blog. I’m pleased to report there is a new entry. I could tell from the killmail.

Ah, yeah. I'll try to make dates somehow more visible in the index. The website I chose doesn't lend itself well to using pages as blog entries. Lol

Thanks for the nice words sir!

Edit: Oh yeah, and I'll be sure to include a shower scene in the next diary entry for your review.

Mr Bookworm I have taken your critical advice and begun adding dates to the index for diary entries.

I also lived up to my word and present you the latest edition, complete with shower scene as promised.

Thank you again for your kind words sir.

You're always trying to get Dani and I killed so of course you're gonna get mentioned.

Thank you! Although don't worry about Shelby, she's mad enough as it is that I included her in them. She would be embarrassed if you read it I imagine.

Although she did ask me to pass on her warm thanks for the lovely gift of a Red Coat. Smile
