Fun Blogs using the Cocktail Widget

It has been quite an amazing experience delving into the world of widgets. One which is costing me money in bandwidth charges and my own time and (as yet) I see no real way to make money out of. Money is usually a key driver for me to expand my new ventures. Yet I still want to proceed further with creating the widget and getting people to use it. Behind the scenes I have created a little dashboard to allow me to manage most of the functionality around the cocktail making site and to the right is a screen dump of the widget dashboard midway through Sunday Nov 12th in the US (although all days and times are UK).

At the bottom of the page you can see a section entitled "Top Domains Calling this Widget". I now tend to take a look daily at the blogs hosting my widget since (a) I want to make sure it's working right for everyone (b) I am excited that people would want to feature my stuff. For this blog post I wanted to feature a couple of the fun blogs.

The first one I want to feature is by a nice lady called Amy Ferguson who has named her blog "Chef Amy Ferguson's Travel Blog". She is evidently a chef from Texas who is heading back for a holiday in Paris (where she studied 31yrs ago) and telling us all about it. I love the passion in the blog and hope she keeps it up, I will be reading.

The next one I am posting since it's a fun one for me as a bloke. The blog is called "H's Doghouse" which is a fun name and best of all the strap line to the blog says "H's Doghouse provides the blogger with the most important information in the universe. And if you don't think so......too damn bad". There's a cool post at the moment about his favourite beers although bluntly he has never tasted Old Peculiar from the theakston's brewery or abbott ale from green king if he thinks that :). Have a read and I am sure you will enjoy the random musings. Also note my widget in prime position (top left hand corner), I was pretty chuffed when I saw the widget there and I'll probably be pointing people at this blog just to see it :)

Well that's enough for now but I suspect I will be reading enough random blogs thanks to the widget that I will be posting a fair few on here.

Alex,
Thanks for the shout out on my favorite brews. Who knows, Old Peculiar and Abbott Ale may be on my next top ten list. A side not: David B. coming to the States and playing in LA.....please!
Out,
H
