The Diversity in the Top 10

JU user is evolving... nicely thankyou very much!

Published on July 6, 2004 By Muggaz In Blogging

Blogging is Fun! I have been doing it for half a year now, and I dont see myself quiting anytime soon! As I was driving home from work today, A favorite radio program of mine - Today, Today on Triple J - Link and they mentioned the blogging was for nerds! true that may have been - heck, I am a nerd, albeit with a personality disorder, but If you look at the diversity of the top 10 websites we have here at JU, blogging is fast becomming a phenomenon that everyone can enjoy!

Draginol Link

Brad, the owner of JU - If you are looking for some brilliant, opinionated perspectives, check out this link. You may not agree with what he has to say, but Brad has the power of articulation - no matter what the subject, it often invokes thought, and sometimes emotion. Brad tells us about his life from time to time, and points out why he should be an inspiration to all aspiring entrepreneurs.

Frogboy Link

This is Brad's uber-geek alias. I am not to familiar with the skinning community around here, it's not really my bag, but the articles always have massive audiences, so someone must be interested! From some of the stuff I have seen featured, there is some classy computer type stuff goin on right over there!

Muggaz Link

Yours Truly... If you are here, well, you probably know what Muggaz adventures are like! So I will preview another.

Sir Peter Mxwell Link

Sir Peter Maxwell is bigger than Jesus! He is a nobleman from England, and he is the CEO of many companies with Maxwellian values... he has mounted princess Di, Yoko Ono, and a plethora of beautiful woman. He was also a general in the SAS and a close personal friend of Tony Blairs. Sir Peter shares with us his trials and tribulations - problematic internet brides, murdered wives and lesbian daughters - he also has a homosexual stalker named Otis, but i think he was dealt with. Sir Peter has a massive legion of fans, and its easy to see why when you read his blog.

Jaimie Burnside Link

Jaimie epitomises the stereo-type blogger! He tells us his thoughts and emotion, and also provides that degree of quirky entertainment insight! If you are a fan of popular culture, or just want the insight into a regular guy's life with his baby, family, and friends, go and check it out! he is a friendly dude!

Dharmagrl Link

As the title tells us, the Life of an Air-force wife. Antics of her children and life on the air-force base. Opinionated viewpoints on current events, with well thought out perspectives on display. Dharma is a pivotal member of the JU community - you wont only find her her, you will find her lending her support to the entire community - Go and check it out, I am sure you will be welcomed!

Mignuna Link

One of my very favorite bloggers! A fellow Aussie with a flair of style. Her poems are absolutely breath taking, and her articles stirring, Miggy remains somewhat of an enigma though, this is what makes her so special, She has the spirit of a 16 year old girl, but the wisdom of an old hag - her mystery is viewable for the world to see on her blog though - check it out for sure.

Sally Jacobs Link

Sally J is a beautiful soul all the way from Manchester England! Aspirations of becoming a writer are evident, and the class to perhaps someday reach that objective is plain for all to see. A simple female perspective (hehe.. simple and female dont go together right Sally!) on life, with some real emotional pieces. Sally has a kind heart, and is always willing to share her good advice, she also loves sport! football at least!

Shadow War Link

A conservative's view on the worlds current affairs, I am often a visitor to this website to view well thought out and articulate opinions from the right side of American politics. Shadow War is very patriotic, his love for the USA is evident in his passion. You have to respect someone that stands behind their opinion, whether you agree with it or not - check it out.

Little Whip Link

I dont know why she chose the name Little Whip, because she is a big whip as far as I am concerned! She is certainly quick to keep everyone in line! A brilliant writer, who stands her ground to the end, A conservative viewpoint, and a good person. She is willing to share her most personal stories and encounters in her life, and this is an essential part of a friendly community - sharing is caring!

Canuckistan Link

A Canadian viewpoint in Canadian and international viewpoints! If you are into Canadian politics, I guess you could go and check it out! I am sure you would be inspired! It's in the top 10 for a reason! some people are interested in Canadian politics you know!

So - there you have it, A few Americans, a couple of Australians, and young English lass, and a Canadian - lets not forget Sir Peter! The diversity amongst these sites is there for all to see! I really wish I could sit here all night and do an extensive preview of these blogs, and even more, but that is the joy of blogging, you can find out for yourself!

These guys are in the top 10, but I invite you to click on anyone's article within the community - you never know what you may find! chances are, you will probably enjoy what you see! The top 10 is subject to change at any time!!!

Joe User is evolving quite nicely into a diverse and friendly community, and I tip my hat to those who have stuck by it, especially to the admins.

BAM!!!

Hehe, Mugz how did you get to be so lovely? This is just what we all needed a look at why JU is so fab!

Muggaz
Yours Truly... If you are here, well, you probably know what Muggaz adventures are like! So I will preview another.

You mind if I add a bit more to this? Ha....well tough anyway!

Muggaz
One of the most passionate people I've ever come across, who has strong beliefs, and will stand by them no matter what. Mugz has the ability to write about serious matters and write some real though provoking stuff and in the next breath he gives us something to laugh about and lighten the mood! It's all about balance, and he has that. He is also willing to learn, though he is opinionated, you can see that he's gathering information as he goes along, and learning every step of the way. Personally I always appreciate all the support and kind words he's given me, as I'm sure many other do to, plus his football knowledge isn't bad for an Aussie, hehe!

There ya go BAM! *awaits a telling off*

"simple and female dont go together right Sally!"

Haha....at least you know this!

"Aspirations of becoming a writer are evident, and the class to perhaps someday reach that objective is plain for all to see."

Mugz....I don't really know what to say to that, except thank you! A truely lovely thing to say!

One more thing....

"Miggy remains somewhat of an enigma though, this is what makes her so special"

I knew there was something, and I couldn't quite think what...but that's it, totally agreed!

Awww, Muggy!

Here's Dharma's opinion of Muggaz: Aussie party-boy, prone to fits of thread hi-jacking and over excitedness...but with a heart of gold, as demonstrated in his love for his new niece. Welcomes newcomers with open arms (and a pint and a spliff if you're lucky) and isn't afraid to say what he thinks and feels. Also kisses and makes up rather nicely as well.......

LW - we couldn't forget the great Sir Peter! I am sorry, but whether he is in the top ten or not, the man is of such a status that you cant miss him around the traps! It's only fair he gets a review! As far as you name goes - thanks for posting that link... i still think your name should be cracking whip though

Thanks for the kind words Dharma!!! This place needs to sing happy songs! and If i can lead the chorus with showing that anyone can put differences aside and act all civil like, there is hope for us all!!!

BAM!!!

hey muggy. sorry i'm late

i'm very glad you wrote this article. i liked your summations, they all made me smile. i wish i was enigmatic, though, instead of just socially awkward. but thanks anyway

...and i'm loving the teenage spirit/old hag description. you know me so well !!!!.

i do feel funny being in the top 10, though. i mean, mj has been away so long, and sherye and jeremyg left recently, amongst others. i feel a bit like that guy that made it to the ice skating final in the last olympics 'cause everyone else fell over heh.

great article muggy, really insightful, i enjoyed reading it.

Mig - As Homer Simpson says when he gets selected for the Space program

"De-fault, De-fault, De-fault!!! - the two sweetest words in the English language!"

Your place in the top 10 is well earned, your writing is brilliant, thoughtful, and emotional, and it is recognised because of it's many merits!!!

I am glad you liked my spirit/hag definition! I thought you would! It came to my mind straight away!!!

BAM!!!

i feel a bit like that guy that made it to the ice skating final in the last olympics 'cause everyone else fell over heh.

Mig I know that feeling! I feel exactly the same, but as Mugz pointed out you are there becuase you're fab and no one can take that a way from you!

I am really glad that you pick up on my vibe though huh?

You're vibes so strong it's pretty difficult not to, and no need to thank me, I was just speaking the truth

"De-fault, De-fault, De-fault!!! - the two sweetest words in the English language!"

Mig I know that feeling!
