    A minute or two of your time?

    Hi folks, my name is Dave and I've recently been advised/nagged into starting up a blog. I was wondering if you nice folks could take five minutes out of your day and have a look. I haven't really done any writing since school, but I'm quite enjoying it and I'm toying with the idea of doing some kind of course, maybe in creative writing or journalism (shoddy journalism is something i feel quite strongly about!). The blog has only been active for a couple of weeks, so there's not a vast amount to it yet, and it's mostly nonsense written about whatever springs to mind, but I'd appreciate any feedback you have. (Don't be afraid to criticise, I've posted links on a few forums now and let's just say not everyone has been entirely complimentary!). Please be warned, there is some colourful language and potentially controversial subject matter, but that's just who I am really! Many thanks

    Hi Dave. Welcome to WF.

    Thanks folks! A kindly mod has pointed out that I can't post links until I prove I'm not a nasty spammer. Oopsy! Still, this place looks like it'll be useful, so I imagine I'll hang around!

    Hope you understand the precaution. The site had been plagues by spammers in the recent months, and we had to put up some measures to hamper, if not stop their arrival.

    This site seems much more welcoming than some I've been on, I must say! As i understand it I've now made enough posts to be allowed to post links, so if you'd care to take a look, my blog is here:

    Yeah Edgar, I had a similar issue when I started here. But it didn't take long to get past it because I don't like spam and my intention was not to spam.
