I see from Bernie that today is Blog Day 2006 – who knew? Apparently we’re supposed to recommend five blogs:

Bloggers from all over the world will post a recommendation of 5 new Blogs, Preferably, Blogs different from their own culture, point of view and attitude

There’s a little time left before midnight, so here are five from my sidebar who I recommend and which differ from the sort of content you get here.

• Popular, in which Tom Ewing reviews every UK number #1 since the dawn of time
• Glitter for Brains, a slightly explicit and very pink blog written by a Gentleman Who Understands Fashion
• A Beautiful Revolution, featuring heart-rending doodles that I can’t describe; visit and see for yourself
• Nothing Tra La La in which writer Simon Guerrier writes interesting things (yes, there’s a bit of Doctor Who in it, but don’t let that put you off)
• Indexed, the intersection of Venn diagrams and humour

The 25 lines quiz is still running – at the time of writing, eight opening lines have been correctly identified while seventeen are still there for the taking.
