    Welcome to About:Blank! The site was started way back in the mid noughties as a way i could share all the little odd weird things I found online whilst procrastinating at work! The blog was mainly read by work colleagues and family but over the years has found a larger global audience and has featured on major online portals, featured several times on national TV networks and won several blog awards. We are always on the lookout for contributors so if you fancy writing for us on a regular, or not so regular, basis then get in touch. I hope you enjoy reading the blog and scouring the large archive. Please feel free to leave the odd comment! Cheers, Jase
