Our Present To You..
The Aussie Bloggers Blog and Forums were officially launched on the 21st of January 2008. Monday marked our six month birthday, and we thought we would like to give you a present.
Our moderators and administrators were given a short story, and asked to fill in the blanks. The results have been combined into The Lazy Bloggers Blog Post Generator.
I have seen it said around the web that a blogger should never write a blog post that apologises for not blogging – no matter how long it has been, no matter what happened to get in the way of blogging, you should return as if you never left. And now you don’t have to write the post – you can let the blog post generator do it for you. All you have to do is use the drop down boxes to choose the text you want, then click on the create your blog post button. Just like this -
Holy Snapping Duck Do! I just had a terrible scare when I thought I have not updated this since Hammertime was in the charts… You would not believe how hard it is being waited on hand and foot and generally lounging around. I prostrate myself in sorrow and beg thy forgiveness..
I am absolutely consumed with setting fire to people wearing Crocs watching Dexter just generally being a biatch to my local police, my day is a magical flight from the first cockadoodledoo from the rooster to 11pm at which point I fall asleep on the couch. I am putting money aside so I can run away. I need a nap.
I absolutely, positively promise to update at least once a week. Honestly! Don’t hold your breath though, you’re likely to turn blue..
So, let us know if you have any problems with using it, we have tested it across a large range of browsers but this is the first time it has been available to all and sundry.
I’ll be back later today with another post which gives you some new options for blog badges, and also with links to posts people wrote about us, so make sure to check in later – for now feel free to let your blog readers know about the generator. Enjoy!
(Update - We seem to be having an issue with Internet Explorer browsers and the generator. We are trying to fix this issue, but while we do that, maybe you’d like to download another browser? Perhaps Firefox, Opera, or Flock? 
Because just quietly and in my opinion, Internet Explorer sucks. No other browser requires so much effort on the part of web designers to make things work with it. Including this blog, which actually has two sidebars, but can you see two? Not if you’re using IE, you can’t.)
(Update on the Update – we think the internet explorer problem is solved. But I still think you should get a different browser. I’m just sayin’.. )

The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator…
It’s been said on many blogs that bloggers should never write a blog post that apologises for not blogging – if you vanished from your blog for a little bit, you should just return and act like you were never gone. Now you don’t have to write that bl…

Sheer perfection! What a fabulous contribution to the blogosphere. Aussie ingenuity at it’s finest.
Great idea but I wasted my time trying out your tool and it wouldn’t let me create my post. Thanks for nothing, no I mean thanks for wasting my time.
(edited by Snoskred to add) – I’ve sent you an email David, but for anyone else reading this who has had issues –
If you could let us know a bit more about the problem you had – as I said we tested it a fair bit however there may always be browsers it doesn’t work with..
What browser are you using, and do you have any extensions to that browser?
Do you have popups enabled? Javascript?
The post appears in a pop up window, sometimes people don’t notice it until they go to close all their windows later. I will put a note that the post will pop up in a new window on the page and that javascript needs to be enabled for it to work.

I would just like to let you all know that I have not written a blog post since 6.28 am this morning. I would like to apologise that I had to wash dishes, hang out clothes, feed dogs, fish, rabbits and budgies, get kids out of bed, make breakfast, talk to my wife, prepare kids lunches, supervise homework, arrange a dog to go to show and tell, drive the kids to school, watch show and tell, take the dog home, take numerous client calls, take some coats in for dry cleaning, drive to work, attend meetings with my colleagues, buy some coffee, avoid work and this.
I will endeavour to try harder in future and apologise in advance for future delays in producing blog posts.
Thank you.
Thank you
This looks like what I need for all my blogs, Des tells me I have to stop apologizing,
thanks will go and promote

Why are there so many button varieties? It doesn’t represent a consistent brand, does it?
Daniel – because we recognise that people have different blog designs, and we don’t want to limit them to just one choice that doesn’t fit in with their stuff they have going on.
Plus, these were all made by people who love the forums – people were making them to fit in with their blog on their own, so we thought it would be nice to have them all in one place.
Crikey! Lazy Blog Post #1…
Crikey! I just remembered I have not updated this since the sun was actually shining in Melbourne… You would not believe how terribly tardy the Victorian internet can be. I’m a blogger so I will though!.
I am flat out like a lizard drink…

Great work!
It has been six weeks since my last blog post and this is just what I need to get started again!
