Looks brilliant, really is a bridge between the website and the forum. Is good to see the more intelligent posts going up there. Can only be a benifit to the community.

Simple, really. All you have to do is make one, make sure you write on something cricket related and we'll see if we like it. If we do, we might feature some of your entries, or if it's consistently good then we'll include a link from the Media Centre home page. http://www.blogger.com |

Yes. Go to your dashboard, and click manage posts, then edit. Haven't read through all of your first post yet, but it looks like a promising start. |

Well there's the http://jpofftheradar.blogspot.com/ - Off The Radar one and the http://jpreturntothecrease.blogspot.com/ - Return To The Crease one.
The Off The Radar is a blog about lesser known teams, countries that haven't achieved test status yet, and the Return To The Crease is about JP's own fortunes (or misfortunes, whichever way you look at it!) in his own playing career. Both of which are brilliant, but you wouldn't really expect any less - it's what he's paid to do!! ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time.

Just to let you know that I've just put up a page which basically gives links to all of your blogs. Eventually, I'll make up a nice side banner with the links in, but I can't do that from home. Have a look, and let me know if I've missed anyone out. This is kind of a 'directory' of blogs and things. http://www.cricketworld.com/media_centre/article/?aid=9398 - http://www.cricketworld.com/media_centre/article/?aid=9398 |

Great to see a few members' blogs up there - thanks JP!!
I think I'll be updating my blog soon, maybe a review of the tri-series or something.
Also, how do you provide links in your blog - seeing as you added my blog to your site I may as well return the favour and add a link to Cricket World! ------------- County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread. |

I've set up a cricket blog (Cricket News and Views), I'll be adding various news items to it etc, I've already added an article, a brief preview to tomorrow's international fixtures. Feel free to take a look at it and leave comments etc. Please could you link it up in the media centre of the website and I'll put a link to Cricket World up on here. http://cricketnewsandviews.blogspot.com/ - http://cricketnewsandviews.blogspot.com/

I don't actually mind what you write, providing it's not really really offensive, as links to your blogs aren't (yet) that prominent. I only feature blogs as articles that I think are very good/interesting/different/funny/relevant or any combination of that. I do make sure to read them all though, so don't think your efforts are going unnoticed. |

Like nobody's ever done that before, I didn't invent Stresscothick. Some people have told me they found it funny but if you cant take it as a joke it sort of ruins it. I take it you dont watch "Mock the Week" ------------- [ |
