This isn’t strictly on topic for Money Blogger, but I wanted to tell you about a friend’s new blog; Can’t Backspace.
It’s a bit different from most blogs in that it’s hand written.
That may not be great for SEO, but if you think of it more as an online comic then it makes a lot of sense.
I helped Sylvia (the blogger in question) come up with the original design after she happened to mention a notebook she had received as a gift.
After I’d done the initial design, Cliff Stanford then took it to an extreme, including writing a script to render HTML in a handwriting font at an angle (including links!) for the post-its.
The result is a completely unique blog that looks great and lets Sylvia hand write posts. She can write wherever she happens to be, draw pictures or even create cartoons & puzzles for her readers. Just about the only thing she can’t do is backspace.
Check it out and consider subscribing. Maybe it’ll help inspire you too.

1It’s only the first time in ten years I’ve managed to convince you to design something for me. It’s gorgeous but you knew that. Shame about the content ;)
