A Blogger With No Internet or Music

October 5th 2008 05:27

I must apologise to my cherished readers for not blogging in the last week. Like most well-thought-out plans, well they hinged on one vital aspect.

My family and I spent five days down at peaceful Paynesville, a small fishing town on Gippsland Lakes. Before we left I bought myself a Virgin Wireless Internet Dongle thingy so I could still write on Gigs ‘n Reviews and keep in touch with friends.

On Tuesday Mum connected the dongle thingy, which is supposed to be ”plug ‘n play”, but nothing happened. Either you can’t get reception with Virgin in Paynesville or the dongle thingy isn’t simply “plug ‘n play”.

The oldies Mum and Dad found a radio station… This was close to a station which my Nan would listen to. Yesterday driving home Mum found another station like Gold FM. During lunchtime they had a special on classic albums and that was interesting. I learnt that during recording Rumours members of Fleetwood Mac were divorcing each other and having affairs with some crew members, but still the band managed to produce an album that millions and still sells even to this day!

Anyway, back to regular blogging!...

Lady GaGa Goes Gaga On Sunrise

September 26th 2008 02:50

Lady GaGa

This morning Sunrise’s hosts Mel and Koshi quickly apologised for the performance from the American pop star Lady GaGa.

Lady Gaga performed her worldwide smash hit Let’s Dance with a backing track, but instead of providing a hundred percent of live vocals, she lip-synced the majority of the song.

Not even ten minutes later Mel and Koshi explained that normally Sunrise has a policy where they only accept performers onto the show if they sing live and did say there were technical difficulties, but they were obvious embarrassed about what had just happened. It was embarrassing to watch let me tell you!

It’s good to know that Sunrise are passionate about bringing us actual live music and not just interested in having big names in today’s music on the show!

A Pastor's Bible-bashing Torrent on Katy Perry

September 7th 2008 02:25

Katy Perry

There’s one thing that gets me really fired up! It’s when religious leaders or groups condemn an artist or group for a song.

Katy Perry is the latest victim of a Pastor’s bible-bashing torrent. Because Perry wrote a song which says she kissed a girl and she liked a church in Ohio put up a sign saying, "I kissed a girl and I liked it/Then I went to hell." The Pastor then defended the sign, "a loving warning to teens

Hi there,

I think most of us didn't realise how tricky the friendship between Orble and Adsense is. Unlike Blogger, Orble don't allow you to easily add meta tags to your pages, which means you can't add your blog to a blog-list, therefore unenabling you to get higher traffic.

I'm extremely grateful to Orble, having www.gigsnreviews.com gives me a purpose and a sense of duty to the community. I get a thrill everytime I earn a few dollars.

Keep on blogging!

Hi there,

I don't know whether my blogs are setup properly? Can we determine where ads are placed apart from within posts?

Thank you for your time,

I've spent all day trying to put an embeded video on www.gigsnreviews.com using all your methods, still I can't get it. It displayed the code with "really long link". What am I doing wrong?
