What are the big G up to now? Punishing their own?

It seems that the big G are pushing their monopolitic ideas to the limit.

Opal @ Vegan Momma recently commented and flagged that she was unable to add her web address to her comment without being logged into Google.

I assumed that it was a glitch with that post but after spending a fair amount of time commenting on other blogs today I have encountered it on EVERY blogspot blog.

As you can see below Google NOW only offers 1 option for you to display a link to your blog/website when commenting on blogspot blogs.


Before hand you had an option to leave your name and a weblink as an alternative to logging into Google. Where has it gone? And more to the point... Why has it gone?

This new Nickname thing is just damn insulting. I would almost rather post as Anom!

The reason I don't like commenting using my Google account is because I have two blogs registered on there and one is inactive. I don't want people going there instead of this blog.

I really think that this stupid new feature is going so push away potential new commenter's who do not use a Google account or only want to comment showing one website address.

Damn Google. Does anyone know how I can convert to Wordpress without losing my PR and all my readers?

Irish words for underwear!

I have just been looking at some of my stats and noticed that someone had found me by typing 'Irish words for underwear' Strangely it's double spaced too! If you type that into Google I am the second result down.

As I don't get many people coming here from funny search terms I thought I would post about it.

So what are some Irish (Gaelic) words for underwear?

fo-éadaí = Underwear
brístín = Knickers / Briefs
mionbhrístíní = Briefs
fobhrístí = Underpants
