popular blog?

,




What is needed to have a popular blog? :confused:

First I'd say a certain number of visitors couldn't be bad. But I definitely know, that my blog doesn't attract that huge crowd of interested ones. So what else could it be? :left:

I really don't know the answer to this question. Perhaps you've got a clue? If you think so, please let me know. :wait:

While then I'd say it just needs a computer collecting you out of numerous blogs and puts you on a list in front of a blog post called "test" Homer: Doh! :lol: :headbang:

PS: Well, perhaps it's the blue beanie? :D

go for gold or thobi needs to be awarded ;)

It's time to make YOUR CHOICE! The finalists have been announced and so all My Opera members can choose the winner for the following categories: best blog design, best Opera blog, top photographer, best blog by a male, biggest Opera fan, best blog by a female, most helpful Opera forum member and best group!

james bond and opera gift pack

, ,

At the end of october there has been a James Bond quiz presented by the Prizes-group. Two rounds and a bag full of gifts. Well, today I got mine :hat: after eight days of travelling :eyes:
Thanks a lot to Opera!

PS: Don't ask me why the package had to take the long way around the world. *hm* Next time I'll send myself to CA instead of mail the other way :wink:

van gogh & the first caravan

, , ,


Yesterday I've been to the largest Van Gogh expedition since 1990. It's shown at the Albertina in Vienna including 50 paintings and 100 major watercolours and drawings which are on loan from over 60 lenders around the world. Such as Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), Kröller-Müller Museum (Otterlo), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Musée d’Orsay (Paris), National Gallery of Art (Washington), Guggenheim Museum (New York), Puschkin Museum (Moskau), Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and private collections.

Well, he seems to have been a little bit a crazy guy. But hey, aren't we all crazy too? :D :wink:

There are shown many impressive and interesting paintings. But what surprised me the most is, that Vinc' seems to be the first man living in a caravan (or at least painted one :wink: ). Yes, a CARAVAN! If you don't believe me - I didn't trust my eyes first either - have a look for yourself at his painting called "Yellow Houses".

I've been allowed to pretest the new version of My Opera as beta and let me say it's really great and you'll at least like it! :wink:
Some screenshots are already posted by our popular Tamil and one of the new banners is decking my blog for a while now. :smile: But soon you can see the live-version. Just a couple of hours from now on *waiting*

Here some links about the new My Opera:

Update: After the procedure needed more time than predicted (nearly 11 hours :eyes:) the My Opera team had some major problems with the new My Opera. But it seems to work fine now :smile: :up:

what to do with 35 HD-cams and a year for preparation?

UPDATED

Well, lets "beam" a reporter's hologram into the mainstudio and be fascinated by it yourself again and again...



Just got a link to this video by a good friend of mine (thx2chiefhoerbi :smile: ). Most of you know Jon Stewart and his daily show. I seldomly watch it, but this one fits to the video above and i think its worth watching anyway :wink:

hello mr. president

, , , ...

"Yes, we can!", "We believe!", "Hope" and "Change" have been the most frequently used words for the last months. Now it's finally over and many people feel relieved about that, as also about the result - even if it's not that clear.
Whereas just 52,4 percent of the US-voters raised their voice for Obama, he got 364 of 538 presidential electors (67,7 percent). Well, at least it's the majority this time :wink:


Mostly "the rest of the world" prefers the choice of Obama to electing McCain for the next "Mr. President". Lets see if the "hope" and expectations will be fulfilled or if Obama will just be another US-president...


While, what I read, the newspapers are sold out widely - even the NYT running 175.000 copies more than usual is gone - there's a museum of news in Washington, D.C. which got at least copies of also the current press. See some of the if you choose to "Read more..."
