Blogtipping for April 2007
Yesterday was April 1, and I have never really blogged on Sunday in general, even when I'm blogging regularly. And even though I haven't done it in awhile, I thought now might be a good time to start blogtipping again. For this month's edition, I think I'm going to go retro and tip a few of the CoCo (That's Tandy's wonderful 8-bit Color Computer, for the uninitiated) blogs that I've managed to stumble across.My first victim is CaptCPU at The CoCo Hut. He's recently brought in help on his blogs, but I'd still like to give him the credit he deserves.
1 - Great color scheme. Who knew green on green could look so good? Apparently you did!
2 - You really do a great job of keeping your finger on the pulse of the CoCo world. If there's a new product or blog or anything, I can always count on it hitting your blog.
3 - Pimp My CoCo. Excellent! Need I say more?
Tip - (Some advice I need to take myself) Find a posting frequency and stick to it. Unless there's breaking news, of course ;)
Next up is Brian and his CoCo Model III Repack.
1 - A CoCo3 in a TRS-80 Model III case? What could be better?
2 - Very informative. I'll probably use some of the information that you've provided in projects of my own some day.
3 - The pictures you provide to document the process are excellent.
Tip - That awful Blogger template doesn't do your blog justice. And in this tip, I'm going to put my money where my mouth is: if you happen to stumble across this comment and agree, contact me via email (link is in the lower right corner) and I'd be glad to help with a redesign.
Finally, we have David and Briza from Coco Downunder.
1 - Nice design. I'm a fan of clean interfaces, and yours fits the bill nicely.
2 - David's Rants.
3 - Briza's Rants.
Tip - Are your 'props,' 'recent comments,' and 'blogroll' sections supposed to be in your sidebar?
Since all three contributors have already been blogtipped above, I'd like to give an honorable mention to The CoCo Collector. It's another one of CaptCPU's original blogs that has taken on Brian and Briza as contributors. Good job keeping up with the eBay auctions, guys :)
