After having lots of fun with the 5 Obstructions blogathon last year it was time to start a new blogathon. Together with Karamel Kinema (who is responsible for the awesome logos) we want invite you to participate in the Life, Love and the Movies blogathon. As you can probably guess it is about your connection to movies.
With month 3 of this blogathon behind us I have to say that a lot of bloggers failed to turn in their entry. Maybe this was because it was too hard or simply because it is a time when a lot of people are enjoying their holidays. Whatever the case, there were a lot of bloggers who did manage to do the obstruction and a lot even earned a golden checkmark. I know you are interested to know what the challenge is for this month, so I won’t keep you waiting any further. Continue reading
As a blogger you write a lot of posts. Posts you put a lot of time in and which are usually only read the first week they are published (with a few exceptions of course). I get all new blog posts of the blogs I follow automatically sent to my mailbox and it can sometimes take a while before I read them. Looking at the dates of the comments it confirms this and I usually feel like I’m (very) late to the party.
It made me wonder:
How often do you check out older posts a blogger has written?
Month two of the 5 Obstructions blogathon is now behind us and it’s good to see many bloggers managed to arrange interviews with people involved with a specific movie. I hope this will motivate you to do more of them in the future after finding out it is possible. Unfortunately there were also a big number of blogs who didn’t put up a post (if I missed it please let me know) so I hope everyone will pick up on the third obstruction. You can find an overview of all current entries here. But you are here to see what you have to do this month. Time to reveal the Obstruction 3. Continue reading

Time for a new installment of The Moviesite Spotlight, where I shine the light on a blog which I think you should be reading. This week that blog is Popcorn Addiction, run by Steven. Continue reading
Recently one of the bloggers I follow decided to stop writing his weekly link post. The reason he did so was because he noticed there weren’t that many people actually clicking on the articles he was suggesting. He also mentioned another fixture of the blogging community: The blogroll. He did away with that as well for the same reason.
This made me check out the stats on my own blogroll and he had a point. Although it’s a nice thing to have to see which blogs someone likes, people are not really reading and clicking on them. It made me decide to do away with the blogroll as well as I hadn’t maintained it (the links on it were partly outdated anyway) and looking at the statistics I noticed it wasn’t a page which was visited much. So what would I suggest if you are looking for other interesting blogs to read? I suggest to click on to the sites of the other commenters (as I have awesome readers!) or check out the various movie site spotlights I’ve done in the past.
So this week’s question:
Do you have a blogroll and do you think they are useful?
