Diabetes bloggers - Diabetes Blog Week 9-15th May 2011

I'm really enjoying this, both the taking part and the reading everyone else's responses! I haven't had much time to read many other posts, but I'm looking forward to doing that over the weekend. 🙂

Such a great idea!

Me too! It looks like we've all got plenty to read at the weekend! 🙂

LOVE your 'bloopers' post Ange. 🙂 Hadn't realised you were taking part.

Indeed! Mike, I thought your letter(s) post was genius! 🙂 Read it everyone!

Thanks! Maybe there's a career waiting for me in HR?

For anyone using Blogger, it's bust at the moment. Seems to be due to some 'scheduled maintenance' that took place earlier. Grrr! I think you can still access the blogs though, it's just that we can't update them at the moment. I posted my latest entry before things went wrong:

Ten things I hate about you, diabetes:

Blogger seems to be back up and running (though has been a bit flaky of late).

Rather surprised my self when I 'opened the floodgates' with my '10 things I hate about you'. Trying to stay positive clearly leaves room for these things to grumble along in the background. Good to vent them occasionally

Here are my 10 things I hate about diabetes. Sorry for the delay, I found out I can do an entire Zumba class in my living room on YouTube 😛 this is going to save me loads of money!

Blogger is bust again

And Blogger is still down 9 hours later Looks like someone made a major boo-boo 😱 Can't begin to imagine how many people this has affected worldwide, I can't even view my blog this morning. Glad I write my entries offline!

All your sites are working for me right now. Possibly it's being a bit unstable or some UK ISP's are having issues (my work internet connection is routed through Germany).

Hi there

Following bloggers meltdown yesterday thought I'd try to retrieve some of the Day 4 posts I'd read on various blogger sites in case they get lost in the fracas (Blogger is trying to reinstate them I think, but I've already seen mine disappead and reappear once!).

I didn't fish yours out of the cache Alan as you tweeted that you'd written it offline, but I do have Ilse's (Unicornz) and Emma's (Teapot).

PM me if you want me to email them to you...

Mike

Thanks Mike! I'll give it another couple of hours as the status message says they've started restoring the missing blogs..

After that I'll be PM'ing you and trying to remember the other 3! 😛

 

[Northerner]

Apparently you can now post again, but they are still restoring the posts and comments from yesterday. Not sure I want to risk another post until they are definitely all back!

Blogger lost all the comments from Day 4

Yesterday was 'Saturday Snapshots', tee hee!

Pertinent prose

Loved the "pump, pancreas or pen" line. You write poetry even when you're not writing poetry! Just wish I'd thought of it.

There's been a great response to day 1! If you've never read diabetes blogs, this would be a great introduction, so take your pick from this list (my entry is Number 41 🙂)

Who knows, you may be tempted to start one yourself if you don't already have one! Using Wordpress or Blogger is free and very easy to use, so give it a try 🙂

 

[Northerner]

Well, that's Diabetes Blog Week done and dusted for me! Nice to get a little inspiration for penning a few poems, will have to try and keep up the momentum! 🙂
