Hello everyone,

Today’s template is Tori. What is Tori? How about 鳥? It looks like this and it’s one of my favourites.

Internally, we’ve always referred to it as the “Japanese Template” or the “Bird Template”, so we decided on the name Tori. Which is, yes, “Bird” in Japanese.

After 14 great new templates over 3 months, Template Tuesday is going to take a little Spring Break. It shall return with new and exciting templates, but, for now, I hope you enjoy everything Template Tuesday has provided since the beginning of December.

We very much enjoyed running Template Tuesday and you obviously love the new templates, with domains ranking up over 2.5 million views on them in February, so we will look at bringing back Template Tuesday in the near future.

I was just browsing the net this morning when I found someone had snapped me on a romantic weekend getaway. It does pose the question: Is there any privacy left for the ordinary blogging man?

“Mister Blogs family man” has been one of my mottos for several years now, and I refute any allegations to the contrary.

Hope you all have a great week.

Mister Blogs, Family man.

Hello everyone, especially those of you in the UK,

Following on from our past success of Pints&Parking events in the UK and Australia, NameDrive will once again be providing a forum to meet like-minded domainers in Blighty.

ND will be available to answer any questions, offer advice and generally have a bit of fun on Friday March 26th, 7pm at the Tiger Tiger Bar, Manchester. Our resident UK specialist, James, will be in attendance - a face I’m sure that is familiar to most, if not all of you. So pop along, have fun and help James prop the bar up at the end of the night!

To confirm attendance and to get on the guest list please email james@namedrive.com as soon as possible as places are limited.

Hey sports fans!

It’s that time of the week again and this week’s template is for all those Sports domains out there. Here it is in all its glory. The images rotate when the page reloads, so there’s fun for all the family.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

One of our own, Matthias Kaiser, is going to be taking part in the charity climb of Kilimanjaro next week. He is doing it for an excellent cause to give children in Africa more access to clean drinking water.

You can find out more about The Water School charity here and more details on the climb itself here.

If you would like to help propel Matthias up the mountain with your charity money, please make a donation on his page here.

While we’re in the business of linking all over the place:
Here is a picture of Matthias.
Here is a picture of the mountain.
Here is a link to a slightly odd clip from a Sweet Charity (Kilimanjaro will certainly be crawling with Domain Celebrities, as the lady says).
And here is a link to one of the most famous charity dances ever.

How can you not want to donate after that lot?

Thanks everyone and good luck Matthias!

Mister B

P.S. I would have had a crack at the mountain myself, but I am unfortunately at a very important blogging event the whole of next week… I did donate generously, though.

Hello everyone,

It’s amazing to think that today is the 12th Template Tuesday.

What started as an Advent Calendar surprise has turned into a warm little piece of good news every week on a Tuesday afternoon as the long winter days give way to spring (not in MisterBlogland, but I’m sure it must be getting warmer somewhere. Maybe in Vancouver).

Anyway, to keep you all up to date, here’s a little rundown of all the templates we’ve released since December 1st:

Generic Image
Kartell
Skyline

Sector Specific
News
Gifts
Food
Drinks
Fashion Boy
Fashion Girl
Ecology
Education
Magazine

Adult
Adult5

We hope you enjoy using all the new templates as our template-making-machine rumbles on through 2010.

Good day everyone,

I’m sure if you’re reading this, you’ve also seen the picture of me in my painting robes putting my own touches to the ND website. All will be revealed shortly, but for now, you can enjoy the Magazine template which is released today as part of Template Tuesday.

See the next post as well for a little retrospective of the great templates we’ve launched since December 1st.

Hope you all have a great week.

Hello everyone,

In the face of fierce Domain Blog rivalry, I don’t usually post links to competitors of Mr. Blogs, but there are not many domain bloggers out there with the resume of the man behind FacingTheAbsurd.com.

The blog has lots of great insight, with less of a focus on current events and more of an eye towards the future. Check it out, I admit I do every day.

Hope you all have a great week.

Mister B

Good day all,

We are told that the Tuesday after Valentine’s Day is the worst trading day in the year, so I hope we can keep spirits up with this week’s offering, the Education Template.

How the weeks just fly by! And every one brings new template joy.

Mister B

Hello everyone,

Today, for friends of Al Gore and those with ecology-related domains, we have the ecology template for you.

We hope you like it and have a great week.
