Though Dane Cook stand up comedians videos may be the most popular comedian on MySpace, with over a million friends, he is nowhere to be found in the blogosphere. Indeed, many of the blogs that made the list are written by women and/or Asians, a far cry from the frat party that mainstream stand-up has become. Here are the top 40 blogs on Technorati(at this time) either written by comedians or about comedians. Can't one just type in "comedian" into Technorati's blog directory and see what the top 40 blogs are for themselves? No; since most of these blogs aren't claimed, they are not tagged with words like "comedian" or "stand-up." Thus important blogs like "Aziz is Bored" or "Gothamist" don't appear in the search. These blogs came from the following sources: *Technorati, after I entered "comedian," "stand-up," "stand-up comedy" into the blog directory search engine * the blogrolls/linklists of The Apiary, The Bastion, A Special Thing, Chicks and Giggles, Drink at Work * my bookmarks (Gothamist, Apiary, Best Week Ever) Each of these blogs was entered into Technorati's blog directory. The higher their rank, the higher they were placed on the list. Technorati ranks blogs by how many inbound links they receive as well as how many other blogs link to them. I did not include MySpace blogs because, unlike regular blogs, you cannot comment on them unless you are the blogger's friend. Moreover, most MySpace blogs do not have a Technorati rank. Not even Dane Cook's MySpace blog. Of course there may have been blogs I overlooked. If so, submit them in the comments and I will enter them if they fit the following criteria: a) they have a Technorati rank watch comedy online href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders">comedy shows in april 2014 of 174,135 or higher b) they are written either by professional or amateur comedians c) if they are not written by comedians, they have to at least focus on stand-up. Since Internet traffic is difficult to track, please understand that the places of the blogs on the list are subject to change and these were the ranks at the time of this writing. Some blogs will fall in rank, some will rise. Check these blogs out. The ones in the italics are about comedians. The rest are written by comics. IMPORTANT NOTE: Somebody convinced me to put Gawker on the list , so some. of the blogs have moved down a notch. Nevertheless, one of the blogs was removed because it had no connection to comedians or stand-up except for the fact that it was tagged with the word "comedian," so some of you still have the same rank. 1) Gawker (often links to comedians' blogs; Alex Blagg writes for them) 2) Gothamist(has many interviews with comics) 3) Best Week Ever (comedians Michelle Collins and Alex Blagg blog for them and stand-up comics often make guest appearances on the "Best Night Ever" segments) 4) Margaret Cho 5) Drink at Work 6) Bob Powers 7) The Sound of Young America 8) Aziz Ansari 9) Gelf(has many of Keith Huang's interviews with comics) 10) Dead Frog 11) The Apiary 12) Todd Levin 13) Gigglechick 14) Charlie Hatton 15) Liam McEneany 16) Chelsea Peretti 17) Hurty Elbow 18) Jen Dziura 19) Kate Spencer 20) Lang Fisher 21) Jack Kukoda/Carolyn Castiglia 22)Brian Palmer (has many interivews with comedians) 23) Claudia Cogan/Dan Allen 24) Bex Schwartz 25) Chicks and Giggles** 26) Chris Kula/Shecky 27) Brandy Barber 28) Lianne Stokes 29) Jessica Delfino 30) Chris Regan/Susie Felber/The Bastion/Baron Vaughn 31) Sara Alloco 32) Michael Showalter/Best Show on WFMU 33) Will Hines 34) Christian Finnegan 35) Benari Poulten/Rachael Parenta 36) MC Creighton/The Ointment** (often interviews comedians on his Wednesday episodes) 37) Brody Stevens 38) Anthony King/Becky Yamamoto 39) Desiree Burch 40) Giulia Rozzi ** both focus on and are written by stand-up comedians UPDATE: Gigglechick, Jen is Famous, Carolyn Castiglia,Susie Felber, Benari Poulten, Baron Vaughn, Claudia Cogan, Bex Schwartz, The Sound of Young America, The Bastion, Hurty Elbow and Drink at Work are tops on my list for linking to me.

What is CSS?
This hub is an answer to a question which I found at hubpages in the category 'HTML & CSS'. It was asked by user shreekrishna on hubpages, but I think that there are many people asking these same questions. That's why I decided to create this hub to answer the question. The question: what is css ? how can i use it ? did i need to learn it to use ? what is the function of it? The question asked here are actually four questions. And to each question there is a long answer and a short one. I'll start with the short answers: What is CSS? CSS is an addition to HTML. It is used in the first place to take care of the design, the 'style', the look and feel of your web page. How can I use it? CSS is always used together with HTML. You create your web page as a normal HTML file and then you can optionally add CSS to design your page. You can also just use plain HTML to design your webpage. Do I need to http://www.ratemyarea.com/places/las-vegas-seo-masterm-313495 learn it? If you want to become a professional webdesigner you will have to learn CSS sooner or later. But don't worry! If you are just starting to create websites, you can start with using just HTML. CSS has a lot of advantages, but when you are just starting, you don't need all those advantages yet. At the time when you will start to become more comfortable with HTML, you will also start to understand where CSS comes in handy and where you could use it. And when you understand where CSS will help you, it will also become easier for you to learn it. What is the function of it? The main http://www.bizvotes.com/nv/las-vegas/website-design/las-vegas-seo-mastermind-digital-branding-solutions-167462.html function of CSS is to separate design from content. The basic idea is that HTML is used to define the content and that CSS is used to design the content. The content of the webpage can for example be a story. This story is written in plain text. The way this story is displayed, in which font, in which colors, in which area on the page, with lines around it, with empty space around it, all these kind of things can be designed with CSS. You can even create different designs for the same text. For example one design to view the text on a screen and another design for when the page is printed out. The story, the words, the plain text, is always the same. This is the 'content', which is included in the HTML file. The way it looks is the design, which can be created with CSS, but doesn't have to be created with CSS. And the longer answers Below are longer, more extensive answers to the same questions. The answers do not give you an explaination on how to create CSS. I will try to write a hub about that http://yepplocal.com/request/overview?requestId=15666&token=c3264ec5ac15d78e77444ef778e924ac some time in the future. The answers to the questions should give you a basic idea of what CSS is supposed to do and where it can help you in the process of creating your website. If something is still unclear do not hesitate to ask more questions in the comments at the end of this page. What is CSS? CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. The home of CSS can be found at the website of the World Wide Web Consortium: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ This page also has a lot of links to tutorials, definitions and background information. CSS was introduced to create a simple system to add 'style' to a web page. 'Style' in the beginning meant fonts, colors and spacing. But this has grown to a complete design of the whole web page. Cascading means that different styles can be applied to the same page and that, for example, the viewer can apply personal styles to view a page, for example to improve the readability of a page (change the size and color of the font). With CSS it is also possible to create different layouts ('styles') for the same page. For example, it is possible to create a basic style for a page when the page is viewed online as a website and a different style for the same page when the page is printed out on paper and again a different style for the same page when the page is viewed on a mobile http://www.a-zbusinessfinder.com/business-directory/Las-Vegas-SEO-MasterMind-Digital-Branding-Solution-Las-Vegas-Nevada-USA/32689041 phone. The website itself will pick the right style to display the page, depending on where the page should be displayed. |
