OK, not importance exactly. Advantage, really (but that wouldn't have been quite so Wildean).
Anyway, the advantage of calling my blog Halfie is that the name doesn't have to change according to the name of my boat.
By the way, putting "halfie" into a search engine throws up a definition I hadn't come across before: a person of mixed race. I suppose "halfie" in that sense is pronounced "half" (as in 1/2) with "ee" on the end; whereas to pronounce me/my blog say "hal" (as in the prince) followed by "fee".
Sarah has stopped blogging on NB Warrior, which is now effectively archived. Instead, she entertains us with her NB Chertsey blog. I can see one great advantage in following Sarah's example, though: as she says, a new blog comes with a whole new upload allowance. How close had you come to your limit in Warrior, Sarah?
I'm up to 20% on Halfie. I've been careful to resize most photos to 900 x 675 or 800 x 600 pixels in an attempt to keep plenty of space in hand for the years to come.
Speaking of uploads, which photo should accompany this post? I can't think of anything appropriate, so here's an unfrozen (tidal, just) River Waveney near Beccles. The bridge carries the A146; the land to the left is Norfolk; to the right is Suffolk. (Pic taken before it was properly light, on the morning of 6th January 2010 (air temperature -3˚C.)
