Friday Round-Up: Found on the Internet

An ever-so-brief round-up of what we were reading on the internet this week:

In the wake of no-less than three Governor General Literary Awards nominations in the poetry category, The Globe and Mail writes about the amazing Toronto small poetry press BookThug: “Not since Coach House Press first published the likes of Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje more than 40 years ago has a single publisher of poetry made such an impression on the national literature” In the end, Phil Hall’s lovely Killdear took home the big prize as well as $25,000.

Brooklyn Ink writes about a new zine on grief and loss, titled aptly Good Grief.

And Broken Pencil’s fiction editor and publisher, Hal Niedzviecki, gets a Rumpus review for his latest book Look Down, This is Where it Must Have Happened.

  1. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.

  2. Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

  3. Howdy! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and fantastic design and style.

  4. Fantastic website you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get comments from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!

  5. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks

  6. Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  7. Hello! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the excellent work!

  8. Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

  9. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  10. Superb website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get feed-back from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!

  11. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Many thanks!

  12. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  13. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

  14. The root of your writing whilst appearing agreeable in the beginning, did not really sit properly with me personally after some time. Someplace within the sentences you managed to make me a believer but only for a while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do nicely to fill in all those breaks. In the event that you actually can accomplish that, I would certainly end up being impressed.

  15. Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my users would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Regards!

  16. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

  17. Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.

  18. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

  19. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  20. Terrific post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Cheers!

  21. I am really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?

  22. Fantastic website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers!

  23. It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this fantastic blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!

  24. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!

  25. Hi! I’ve been following your site for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Dallas Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the fantastic work!

  26. The very core of your writing whilst appearing reasonable originally, did not settle perfectly with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I however have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you might do well to fill in all those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I would surely end up being impressed.

  27. I’m curious to find out what blog platform you have been utilizing? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more secure. Do you have any recommendations?

  28. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
