Age ranges of bloggers?

This blog is now closed and we are no longer accepting new posts.
CommentsIt would be nice if there was a master page for all of Orkney that had a list of all the updated isles & mainland blogs on it, rather than having to click on an isle or the mainland. Same goes for Shetland. It would make it easier to find folk. Everyone in the northern isles likes a good yarn.

I like the idea aboot flaggin the most recent comments, as I spend a ferful lot o time tryin to find the last conversation I wis takin part in! But I think that not knowing the age of a blogger is a good thing, it gets rid of our social boundries and is very INCLUSIVE! (an In Word eenoo.) BTW, I ken that in Unst we have a 72-year-old blogger, and two 15-year-old bloggers.

Really Madlamb - and I mean this kindly - how can anyone who writes about playing 'Hide the Marigolds' in their underpinnings and describes the goings on of a kleptomaniac cat photographer be flummoxed by the topics of younger folks? Like the idea of a 'last updated' flag though. I'm probably way behind on Calumannabels' 'Is there life on Harris' blog.

I am as old as Methuselah, and I would swear that blogging is NOT good for my health.

On the subject of age - does it really matter after all your only as young as you feel. And you can go sledging at any age in this weather.
Uma Thurman from Flotta
Annie - these youngsters have too many gadgets for me to cope with. I've always been happy playing ships in cardboard boxes and thinking of where next to hide the rubber gloves - my mother LOVED me! I've recently got one of these mobiley-things and appartently it can do almost anything - a part from making the tea which really upsets the husband. Still this internet-curtain thing is really whizz but the time delay on postings is getting a little of a pain. The Chortle-style of forum - which I think is generally available - (I'll ask my boss as he installed one on our work website) updates automatically and can be monitored. It would save the poor IBHQ having to check and update each one manually. I'm sure they have enough to do - but I wonder what they make of the IB goings on!
Mad Lamb from Time delay capsule
Uma - I agree real age doesn't matter. I had a bouncy castle at my last 'cough-cough' birthday and don't feel a day over 21. As for the snow - I feel like 5 again. I suppose if the younger element had a category on a partricular popular band, then the rest of us who can remember the likes of the Bay City Rollers can just ignore it.
Mad Lamb from Younger every day
You may go sledging or skiing down da peerie hoegs (eh?!) at any age in any snowy weather: the question is whether some of us would come back alive (and not have need of some orthopaedic surgeon).

You're only as old as you admit to at a particular time. Today I am 17, yesterday I was .... tooooo old to remember.

This Wiki includes a guide to tracking blogs. I have found it very helpful to create a list of favourite blogs using an online news aggregator. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Weblogs:An_Introduction#Tracking_selected_blogs
