Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!
Scoutle is a new blogging tool that follows in the footsteps of sites such as Entrecard and Spottt. It does have a twist to it that is unlike the others though. With Entrecard you need to spend a lot of time dropping card and promoting your blog… But with Scoutle you have a tiny little slave to do all of the work for you!
Meet your Scout (I call mine Nicole) and she walks around my fave blogs who also use Scoutle! She finds all the interesting posts I may like and send them to my widget on my blog.
All I do is find new blogs I like and get Nicole to say hi for me. She will then go walking around all of my fave blogs and meet other Scouts and as she talks to them she finds out new things.
Here is a video that tries to explain how everything works:
I have only been with this network for a week and have found some cool sites. It has a nice ranking system that I have not totally worked out yet though 
I am told that they are working on a new version of Scoutle that should be out soon!
One cool thing I really liked about Scoutle is that you can sign up using OpenID. This is one of the first networks I have seen do this, which is awesome!
When you sign up (Do it now to get more points!) please remember to add me to your network!
Here is some info from the Scoutle website:
1. Sign Up & Login
Sign up, activate your account and login.
2. Create a Scout and let him walk
Your Scout is your personal webcrawler. He will walk over the Internet and meet other Scouts. To help your Scout walk, give him some space by installing the small Stage on your website. This will not only activate your Scout, but will also bring other Scouts to your website.
3. Check & Connect
The Scouts your Scout will meet are selected based on a range of criteria, like interests, networks, connections and more. Be sure to check his results every now and then, visit the websites and if you find them interesting, start a Connection. This will help your website become more valuable.
4. Grow & More
You will not only see more visitors come to your website, but you will also get more points, which means your website is more appreciated. Discover all other options Scoutle has to offer. Create or join Networks or search in the Guide. Of course, new options will be available in the future as well. A new way of browsing the Internet is born!
HAVE FUN!!!

Subscribe to the comments for this postEntrecard loves SezWho! Kissy kissy
The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.
I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for 
credits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!
I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.
I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.
Getting started
The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.
So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!
I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).

‘Tramp’ in church was minister in disguise
I am not a religious man at all. I am open about being a Atheist but respect most religions and peoples beliefs. One of my favourite bloggers (Rebellious Arab Girl) has a old post about Honour Killings in the Islam religion which seems to always get some comments every month or so. Since reading this post and following Monas blog I have changed many of my views on Islam and Arabs in General.
A lot of people think that I must be some sort of Devil Worshipper as I don’t follow the Bible, Koran or read L. Ron Hubbard’s stories. I just believe we are here, I don’t believe that some higher power has written any books or has any disciples do so. I do believe these books can offer some words of wisdom and can help people out of some hard times, but that is as far as it goes for me.
I came across this story in Todays papers which really made me smile. It shows how some people believe that if they just go to Church or your Mosques then all is forgiven and their GOD will think they are good people… But what they forget is if their GOD is real he is watching 24/7.
I do not believe in GOD… But I try my very best to be as nice to people as I can. The one thing I did learn at school was Respect, and that is something I always follow.
Members of a church congregation received a shock when a “tramp” who wandered in off the street took off his wig and hat and revealed himself as their minister.
Former police officer the Rev Derek Rigby dressed in clothes from a charity shop and rolled around where his “dog had been” in the garden as part of his disguise.
The 51-year-old said he told the congregation and John Morris, one of the senior members and a lay-preacher who was taking the Sunday service, he would be arriving 20 minutes late at the Trinity Methodist Church in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, North Wales.
But instead of the expected arrival of the minister the congregation of around 70 saw a tramp walk in and sit down in the church.
Mr Rigby, who was a police officer for 15 years before he was ordained 20 years ago, said: “I was amazed that no one recognised me. I was quite close to some of them. Sitting next to some and they still did not recognise me.”
The minister, who had not shaved for three days, then stood up and revealed who he was. The charade was linked to the theme of the service which was based around the failure of the disciples to recognise Jesus Christ on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection.
Mr Rigby, who took up the post at the church in 2005, said: “When I walked in and revealed myself they (the congregation) broke into a round of applause.”
Speaking about the demonstration, he said: “It was interesting to see the different responses. It is the unacceptable face of charity.
“I had to walk about half a mile from my house to the church otherwise people would have recognised my car.
“I was not in the porch as people arrived for the service I was slightly outside the church.
“I had to scruff the clothes up and I had syringes – used for giving my dog medicine but without the needles in so they were safe.
“I waited until Sunday school had finished as I didn’t want to scare the children.
“I was behaving drunk but I was not noisy or rolling around. I sneaked into the porch where the disabled toilets are and stole some toilet roll.
“Then I went back in to steal a decanter and glasses at which point someone ran after me and took them off me. At that point I was invited in.”

Back to basics
I have been worrying about a lot of unimportant things the past few months… Maybe I have been doing this to take my mind of the things I should be thinking about, or maybe its just me getting used to the situation.
I have decided to go and do some homework and start a new chapter in my blog. I am going to try to reverse the tables on some people and organizations that are intent on destroying fathers and myself. Maybe this is just another way of taking my mind of my children and my ex… But I need to do something and why not do something useful for a change.
I have been talking to a lot of old friends the past few weeks and spent a lot of time debating changes in public opinions of fathers and what could be done to change them… I have also been doing some legal work for some friends and am in court the next few weeks for myself and some other people.
I hope to get back to my old fighting self and forget about all this stupid agro that some unimportant people have created for me…
So from next week expect the old 2007 version of Lee Doyle and expect some angry comments to start coming my way again.
P.s.
I will be very busy this week and the next. So please only email me if you need too! If you need help please use other contacts.

The best days of my life
Right now I have nothing much to blog about so thought i would post something about the past and some of the best times of my life.
- My Daughter Faith being born
I remember everything like it was yesterday. I remember it being a LONG night of waiting and argueing with my Ex partners mother… But I also remember the feeling I had when I saw my daughter for the first time. I never knew I would feel like I did, and it was like I was also reborn… My whole life changed in that moment and for the first time I was not #1 in my life. I knew from that moment she would be the most importent thing in my life… And no matter what ever happened that would never change. - Dinner in Portugal

Update on why I am not blogging much
As you may have seen this blog is not getting much TLC at the moment. This is partly due to my burnout I am having and due to me working on the book I have been working on the past few weeks. I have not been up to much so I do not have much to blog about…. I am sure that will all change in the next few weeks when things really start to hot up.
I will try to make a post today on how I’m feeling and whats been going on around me. A big thanks to everyone who has emailed me 
its been very nice and I will reply as soon as I can.
