It's Wednesday to Caleb from Columbus

Oct. 27, 2006
Categorized in: Blogs

Everyday is like Wednesday to Caleb Mozzocco...  Saturday cartoons and football, a Columbus Best Blog tradition... sometimes... and I found a new Columbus Blog.. new to me anyway... I believe I found it on Tuesday.

Everyday is like Wednesday to  Caleb.  J. Caleb Mozzocco a freelance writer and cartoonist in Columbus Ohio... his blog is called 'Everyday is like Wednesday.'


"Comic book reviews, commentary, and related miscellanea, because God knows what the Internet needs is more sites about comic books."


Columubsite Mozzocco wrote There is no K in Ohio usually  about another cartoonist, Keith Knight visiting Columbus on a recent Saturday Day afternoon...   a football Saturday in Columbus "OH"- "IO."

"I'm sad to report that Knight's observations about Columbus are 100% accurate. Shouting "O-H!" is all you need to do to illicit a repsponse from just about any random Columbus crowd."

Keith Knight of the K Chronicles /th(ink) illustrated the greeting, cheer, tradition... whatever it is.

but let's not quibble about spelling.... I don't believe I even knew OSU has a Cartoon Research Library

Columbus Best Blog Goes Victualing

Oct. 7, 2006
Categorized in: Blogs

Food Blogging

It's Columbus Days in Columbus Ohio....  Columbus Best Blog goes victualing in honor of Christopher Columbus... I found the word 'victualing'  on an Oxford Univertiy Press blog about Christopher Columbus.  According to Ask.com 'victualing'  means:  

"Vict·ual·ing
a.
Of or pertaining to victuals, or provisions; supplying provisions; as, a victualing ship. "

The OSU Buckeye's play Bowling Green today...I couldn't even find much of interest on the Columbus Sports blogs I've been collecting on my blog roll (is blog roll one word or two? blogroll or blog roll?)...

 Instead of football I decided to blog about Columbus Food Bloggers.... Lisa at 'Restaurant Widow' and Rosie at 'Bitchin in the Kitchen with Rosie' are two of my favorites on my Columbus blog roll.  I have had trouble with the Columbus Foodie   blog for some reason.. opens slow... it's a blogger blog for pete's sake... isn't it? I have seen it so seldom...maybe I ought to take it personally... I put it in my blog roll, took it off my blog roll.. 

My Columbus blogroll or blog roll?  Cabbage roll, sweet roll, dinner roll....  It must be a blog roll. 

Columbus Blogs

 
Today is The North Market Harvest Festival... fall produce, scarecrows, live music, activities for kids, entertainment,  pie baking contests...

I ran into a potato poll this morning on my quest for Columbus Food Blogs... and joined a  planet.  Buckeye Planet... you can hardly get get away from the Buckeye's in Columbus even if you want to...

I love polls... I love potatoes... potatos?  I did not do the poll I would have to say all of the above... plus some... colcannon... mmm mmm mmm
 
Another on my blog roll...not a sports blog but a varied blog... lots of scary stuff religions and politics..... Paul of It's a Paul World is off on a journey...

"It's a Paul world after all, it's a Paul world after all.." 

excuse me..

I went looking for another blog that a Columbus Blogger told me is a food blog...Dave's Beer... I have visited a time or two.. great blog but is it a food blog? Is beer a food? It has lots of calories so it is a food... Dave of Dave's Beer has been obsessing about his home going on the market for a bit... it's on and


"It's a small world after all... it's a small world after all... it's a small, small world..."
Dave is listed with Eve in my office!  he has Eve's sign on his blog!!! 
Go Eve Go!!!  Go Eve Go!!!

P.S.  In case you did not want to leave Columbus Best Blog to venture to another planet yet wonder which potato is winning???   it is the French fry..... salt and fat...  mmm mmm good!!!  Great taste?  No tastes great.

Columbus blogs worth bucks

Sep. 30, 2006
Categorized in: Blogs

cash cow How Much Is My Blog Worth?  Business Opportunites Web

"Inspired by Tristan Louis's research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, I've created this little applet using Technorati's API which computes and displays your blog's worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal."

I thought it was the Buckeye Blogs at first... sports blogs that were worth bucks... Columbus food blogs seem to be worth bucks too....

Around the Oval  Your blog, aroundtheoval.com/, is worth $51,937.68

Bitchin' in the Kitchen with Rosie  Your blog, rosieskitchen.blogspot.com/, is worth $7,339.02

Blogging Ohio  Your blog, www.bloggingohio.com, is worth $67,180.26

Buckeye Sport Blitz  Your blog, buckeyesportsblitz.com/, is worth $16,371.66

Foodgoat   Your blog, foodgoat.blogspot.com/, is worth $35,001.48

Jason's Page  Your blog, jasonspage.net/, is worth $14,678.04

Men of the Scarlet and Gray  Your blog, menofthescarletandgray.com/, is worth $22,017.06

Restaurant Widow  Your blog, www.restaurantwidow.com/, is worth $22,581.60

I have mine displayed in the right column....  It is lower than these... Originally the URL's RealTown Blogs (this is a RealTown Blog...) used we got values of $0... of course we could not claim our blogs on Technorati either... back then...

There is another measure my friend Bonnie of Real Eststate Snippets used that rated my blog worth less than $50.  Boo!!!
