Default Bingo Blogs

Always a dedicated follower of bingo, I quite like blogs and RSS feeds to keep up to date with all the latest news. I'm subscribed to loads, but always enjoy the ones that are more personal and 'behind the scenes' like.

So I've recently started my own blog and I've enjoyed making a few posts up to now. The players are always asking what I'm up to, etc and its good to also have a rant about certain things that cross my mind.

I invite you to have a read at The FreeBingo Blog - my latest post shows some photos of damage caused to one of our VCM's houses in the February Earthquake.

And obviously, don't forget to subscribe to Dio's blog (http://playingbingo.co.uk/bingo-news/atom.xml). Always a good read.

Any other blogs out there that offer a bit more substance than just latest offers, please let me know.

WayneH

Thanks Wayne, I've subscribed to yours as well. There are very few decent blogs out there to do with Bingo unfortunately. If you'd like a nice behind the scenes of retail Bingo, have a look at Brett's Corner. It used to be a monthly column, but now it's a blog so Brett will be dropping in for more informal and frequent visits.

I'm not a big fan of Blogs, so many of them are just full of the inane twitterings of people with nothing to say. But I do enjoy Brett's Corner so I'll check out those others too. Always nice to get a peek behind the scenes.

Thanks Dio,

I've subscribed to Brett's Corner. Shame I missed his appearance on Eggheads - nice to see bingo appearing on TV yet again!

Maybe me and you can get on there next time as Online Bingo people versus the Eggheads! LOL

That's a nice design for a blogspot blog - do they have some new templates or something?

I will be checking these blogs out. Thanks for sharing them with us. I think it would be so neat to do a blog on something that you love. Would make it so easy to keep updated.

So when shall we expect to see your very own bingo blog out then tater03?

I've every admiration for people who can write a decent blog. Keeping it up must be the hardest thing, thinking of stuff that's continually interesting.

OK, now, I really love playing bingo, but I would have to say that I don't think I could do a whole blog about it. I may mention it in a blog, but not dedicate an entire blog to it.

I don't know which blog software you prefer, but I found blogspot wasn't so good for our users as you need to have a blogspot account in order to be able to post a comment.

As our freebingo players tend not to have one of these, they've been unable to comment.

So I've moved the blog to wordpress and can be found here: The FreeBingo Blog
