I just might make "Quiztime" a regular feature of this humble Yorkshire blog. My quizzes seem to have gone down pretty well so far. Last night I was up at "The Hammer and Pincers" quiz and brought home my quiz answer sheet intending to adapt it for today's quiz. Instead, I decided to ask ten questions connected with blogging. You could easily use my sidebar to work out the answers but it might be nice to have a go from memory. Good luck!
As usual, the answers will appear in the "Comments" section and also as usual - no peeping!
- Which well-known female blogger resides in Ludwisburg, Germany?
- With which Welsh blogger do you most associate the village of Trelawnyd?
- Name the South Carolinian blogger who is the mastermind behind "Sparrow Tree Journal"?
- Name a blogger from The Isle of Man who has recently been on holiday to Bermuda?
- What is the first name of the fellow who produces a frequently political American blog called "I Should Be Laughing"?
- Dave on the north side of The Sheep's Head Peninsula in Ireland has created a blog called "Northsider" but what is his all time favourite band? (a) The Bay City Rollers (b) Take That or (c) Kansas
- Steve Reed in London puts out a blog called "Shadows and Light" but from which Canadian songwriter did he borrow his blog's title?
- Name the blog that is produced by Mary Moon in the village of Lloyd several miles east of Tallahassee in the state of Florida.
- Brighton in England and the Perigord region of south west France contain the homes of one particular senior male blogger but what name does he go by?
