What is a blog and how can I use it most efficiently
Posted in: by Ingo on August 16, 2008
A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is an online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics, audio files or video. Entries are commonly a series of articles posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order, the newest on top. Often readers can leave comments in an interactive format.
You can subsribe to my blog with the RSS function. To do so, simply click on the RSS link in the left sidebar under ‘Meta’, and select your feedreader (e.g. Google to read it with the Google reader) .This way you don’t have to check manually for updates, and you can’t miss any news.
A blog lives from the interaction with its readers, so feel free to leave many comments. Commenting is easy, you don’t have to fill out any register form, simply enter your nickname and your comment.

Hi Ingo
I’ve enjoyed your site for some time and was just wondering if when you play your strats do you have the tone controls on the strats all the way up or set at a certain level?
Comment by jude — 16. January 2009 @ 21:04
it varies, normally they are all the way up but sometimes I dial in a rather bright amp setting and roll it back a bit

Hi Ingo,
I didn’t know where to post this :
Somme years ago, I remember you talked on mKnews forum about Six blade Knife on 17/02/1979 in Cologne that has a longer solo in the middle than usual.
I’ve never heard it. It would be very nice from you if you could send it to me, or at least put it on your blog.
Also, I’ve never heard Six blade Knife from Split 85, but read great reviews about it (T.Molin or JVT). I know it isn’t complete, but I’m very curious to hear how it sounds.
Could you do to me(or to us) this favour please ?
Thanks very much in advance
Jean-François

Hi Ingo,
) but sometimes, I can’t during a few days.
I visit your blog as often as I can (almost every day
For example, I visit it today morning, but the last time was last friday.
The first thing I check is “recent comments”, but how can I know if there are more comments that I didn’t see ?
Could it be possible to show more “recent comments “, because I can’t chek all articles to see if there are new comments that I didn’t read
Could it be the same as on a forum : you see the list of all posts with the date when it was posted.
then I could be aware of all comments posted, even if I can’t visit the blog for a few days.
Thanks in advance
JF

The list of the latest comments is handled by a wordpress plug-in (this is a wordpress blog), it automatically displays the latest comments, no matter to which article. There is no date function. I set it to the last 6 comments, I remember that numbers greater than 6 caused problems with the Internet Explorer some time ago. I set it to 10 now. If you experience problems displaying the page in IE, please let me know.
Besides, from now on this page should be much faster, the provider has just moved it to a new platform

Thank you very much Ingo
It works fine with IE, at least for me.
