I’ve noticed that there has been a massive drop off on comments recently. It seems strange, especially as Heather has been as prolific as normal (albeit commenting on non-atheist blogs more than usual) and I have been trying to comment a lot since I got back. Is this a naturally quiet period or have people given up commenting?

In case neither Heather or myself get the chance before tomorrow (GMT of course), this is just a quick Happy New Year to all our readers – even those whose calendars don’t change over at midnight 🙂 . We will try to get back into the swing of lots of ranting about idiocy as soon as the holiday season allows us.

Well, happy christmas or whatever you wish to celebrate at this time of year. For me, saturnalia is a good enough reason to not let the theists steal our holidays!

Well it is the middle of winter now (literally) and both Heather and I are getting tied up in celebrations for what must be the Festival of Seaxneat, as being devout atheists we don’t “celebrate” christmas……….. Seriously, we will still be blogging over the next two weeks but as we both have a lot of travel to put up with our online time will be limited. Hope every one has a happy [insert chosen holiday here] and a great new year [except for those whose calendar doesn’t mark a new year in 10 days time…] 🙂

How predictable are we atheists? The last post here is the alternate reality twin of one by psychoatheist which seems to have been posted at more or less the same time, though his post appeared on the Atheist blogroll… grr… etc.. And we’ve both put almost the same title…. Nullifidian is right. We need a schedule….

Despite wordpress automatically pinging and us manually pinging Blogrolling.com as well as using Ping-O-Matic at 15 – 30 minute intervals, not one of the previous five posts have been shown on the Atheist Blogroll. Now, the blogroll is a wonderful thing and we here at WhyDontYou want to fully support it, but the fact remains it is not working properly. As it stands, blogs no longer get Technorati ranking from it which means its main purpose is to send traffic to a site. Most people use the abbreviated version showing the most recently updated blogs. As it now seems to ignore the good blogs when they update, oddly showing a **new next to all the content-free/YouTube blogs, it is becoming less and less useful. If I had the technical know-how to propose a solution, I would, but surely there must be, somewhere in AtheistLand, a person with the required knowledge to solve the problem? Anyone?
