Out of the mouth of Dave

Weblog URL: http://www.outofthemouthofdave.com/
Reason for application:
I have a humor blog whose message needs to be spread to the vast seas of unwashed masses - I figured a good option for that started with being included in your exclusive club
Thanks
Dave
Dave has very quickly learned that flattery goes a long way toward WBC membership. Although imitation may be considered [...]

New premises

Due to the rather painfully,invasive inspection by Mr Ernest Gripe the WBC has undergone a severe down-sizing operation. Exacerbated by the economic downturn and a near terminal attack of malaise our offices have been temporarily relocated to a small, yet homely structure located within the grounds of Blogworthy Manor.
To the untrained eye this may look [...]

Notification of intent

This is official notification of the intent to notify our intentions. At this juncture our intent is unclear but we do intend to clarify this as soon as we receive clear instruction of clarification to notify from the department of notification clarification.
If you have any questions then please speak very loudly as there is nobody [...]

Office closure

This is an official notification of a temporary closure in WBC proceedings from monday 2nd february 2009.
This is due to the discovery by Mr Ernest Gripe of a seedy underbelly within these hallowed walls. Corruption, bribery and nepotism were words that came to light - so nothing unexpected at this juncture.
Of course as soon as [...]

Ernest Gripe

It is my duty to inform all members of the World Blog Council that we will be undergoing a strenuous evaluation period over the coming weeks so all sensitive paperwork should be shredded immediately.
The mediator sent from Whitehall will be none other than the Honorable Ernest Gripe, a teetering force within the blogging community who [...]

How Joe sees it

Weblog URL: http://www.howjoeseesit.com/
Reason for application:
I blog, therefore I am. Please acknowledge my existence on the World Wide Web so I know I blog for some higher purpose.
Joe sees life through the eyes of a dieting, tattooed tech-junkie whose musical and political leanings colour his blogging output. All in all things seem very satisfactory.
I had a [...]

Bribery and corruption

It has come to my attention that there is underhand nonsense in progress on the internet based world wide web. A certain young lady, currently undergoing a lifetime ban from the WBC (for crimes against the Blogiverse) has been utilising her information technology skills to confuse and further derange staff members.
She has nominated the WBC [...]

Reasons for application:
I received an email from a young lady with buns attached to her ears who demanded that I re-apply after my recent justified ban.
I comply.
I am on the verge and need a push. I believe the WBC are the people for the job.
Yours sincerely folks
D. Papersurfer
For some reason the Colonel will [...]

Inauguration day

It brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat to announce that during a very solemn and important ceremony this afternoon Mr T. Ern will be handed the keys to the downstairs broom cupboard. The implications of this are awe inspiring and somewhat humbling.
Mr Ern was born in a skip in [...]

Fracas

Weblog URL: http://fracas.wordpress.com/
Reason for application:
Due to a recent report of someone being caught with their pants down here, I find I have no choice but apply for approval in order to more closely monitor the situation.
This is all for the good of interweave patrons the world over, of course…
(I may or may not report my [...]

World Blog Council chatter box

With great pleasure I would like to draw your attention to the ‘WBC chatter box’ at the top right hand corner of this page. This method of communication may be known to you as a ’shoutbox’, ‘twitterbox’ or simply a ‘wall’.
If you click on ‘Leave a reply’ and type a message you may join in [...]

I’ll never forget the day I read a book

Weblog URL: http://residentreader.blogspot.com/
Reason for application:
Please accept my application for approval. I really did read a book once and may do so again some day. In the meantime I am looking at the pictures in some books and watching the movie in other cases and writing short essays about what I have learned on my blog.
I [...]

Criminal element

An increasing level of criminal intent has been creeping into the hallways of this hallowed edifice. Last Thursday two of my chocolate Hobnobs (a delicious and nutritious oaty snack to accompany my afternoon Earl Grey moment) were pilfered from Ms Tutts ‘kitchenette’. The perpitrator was of course instantly apprehended and handed over to the authorities [...]

Clark’s Picks

Weblog URL: http://clarkspicks.com/
Reason for application:
Clark’s Picks will be one year old on December 31st, 2008, ancient by the standards of the world wide tube system. I have endeavored to find and present the most significant moments in recent (since the invention of “talking pictures”) musical history on Clark’s Picks for the edification of children, hip [...]

Frosty reception

An unsurprising lack of maintenance following a burst water pipe in the reception area, coupled with the somewhat strange disappearance of the front door has led to the creation of a temporary ice sheet. Skates will be issued to all staff members for reaching all ground floor offices.
The ‘no children’ sign posted at the entrance [...]
