Blogging is becoming ever more popular, and here you'll find a vast collection of quizzes and curiosities to add to your online soapbox.

From a quiz to tell you what your nose says about your personality, to seasonal quizzes that tell you what kind of Halloween or Christmas treat you are - these are just a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously!

Just pick the quiz you like, answer a few simple questions and you'll be returned an answer which you can post with the MySpace or FaceBook links, or by using the HTML and BBCode on any website or blog you like.

The post will tell visitors to your site your description, and invite them to take the test themselves.

googel Chrome

Chrome

www.google.com/chrome

I've been trying out a new web browser this week, and I have to say I am so far really impressed. Chrome is an offering from Google.

Straight away you can recognise the Google design team's influence here - the browser is simple, efficient and super fast, and has some nice little features to save you clicking your mouse to international RSI standards!

Downloading and installing is a breeze, and the software recognises which browser you use and will do all the messy importing of bookmarks and settings for you.

The browser window itself is crisp and clear; check out the getting started page for a full run down of the features.

Searching has been highly streamlined, as typing anything in the address bar will offer up web pages and search terms to apply to your default browser. It even highlights pages you have visited previously that contain those words - very handy.

The second is the frequently visited pages feature, which appears whenever you open a new tab. Here you'll see all the pages you visit a lot, laid out in thumbnail format so it's super easy to find your way to your faves. Lovely.

Internet Shout

Internet Shout

www.internetshout.com

There are lots of things on the internet to shout about, so if you're the kind of person who likes to make a noise then you need to get yourself along to this site, where you make make as much of a hullabaloo as you like.

This site, like many other chat sites of its type, encourages users to have an open conversation on any subject they care to post about. The difference here is in the medium you use - not text but voice, either recorded through the website's dedicated feature, or uploaded from your hard drive as an MP3.

It's worth pointing out that you will need a microphone, obviously, and if you want to record your comments yourself they will have to be in MP3 format, so make sure you have a suitable recorder to hand.

As long as you don't mind running the site's little application, the in-built record feature is perfectly easy to use. You can even preview your recording and start over again before you make the post live.

There are categories listed on the left, and you can post your own topic or reply to someone else. It's great fun listening to the conversations that are building up, so why not come along and join the conversation - but beware, not all the conversations may be to your taste.

Offbeat earth

www.offbeatearth.com

This is a curious blog full of pictures and thoughts on an offbeat world.

There is really no other way to describe the bizarre collection of contents here. It's often topical, for example the amazing collection of pumpkin lanterns featured recently for Halloween, but always totally random, like the Subaru/Volkswagon vehicle mash featured in the weirdest cars section.

Laid out typical blog style, you should be able to find your way about. Personally I have subscribed to the email updates so I never miss a post. It is worth bearing in mind there is some vaguely adult humour spattered throughout, though very infrequently, so I hope it doesn't put you off this awesomely interesting site.

Wambie

With a plethora of great gadgets and tech available, girls these days are into much more than just dolls and dressing up. But there is still a place in my heart for a good old girly game of dress-up!

This site is a young girl's paradise. It's all pink and sparkly, with horoscopes, games and stories, and even a spattering of celebrity gossip.

It fulfils my dress-up desires with a high-tech remake of the classic game where you dress up paper dolls by folding paper clothes over their bodies, a distinctly old technology. There are also cooking games and skill games.

It really is a very stereotypically girly girl site, so it's not really one for the tomboys, but if your little one loves princesses, fashion, cooking and makeup, she'll have a ball here.

The only downside for me is the abundance of adverts, but I guess the site's creators are entitled to earn money for its upkeep somehow, and you don't even need to register to play here. Plus, they don't actually interfere with the gamepla

listography

listography.com

I am a big lover of lists, especially at this time of year when there are presents to buys and parties to plan.

This site is simplicity itself - it's just a place for you to make and store lists for any aspect of your life you think needs a list. Take a look at the featured users and see what kinds of lists they are making.

The site creators suggest this site is a good way to build a kind of unique autobiography of your life, and I kind of agree with them.

It's very interesting to see what kinds of things people write lists about. Freud would probably have a field day. Personalise your space with pictures, backgrounds and text to fill out your biography, and then you can use it as an extension to your MySpace or Facebook site.

You can even link to it from your blog or website so that others can comment on the lists that you make.

Moviestorm

www.moviestorm.co.uk

The more technology develops, the more it opens the doors of creativity to a wider audience. This site will turn even the most technically inept of you into an animated movie master as long as you have a little time and patience, and a decent script.

First things first, take a wander around the site and check out the movies posted by people who are already using this software. There are some really neat little films here, but do bear in mind that they are posted by the public, so you may occasionally come across something which is not to your taste.

Once you're hooked on the idea you need to register and download the software. The first time you launch the application it will check your hardware to see which settings you can run, and then download the standard core library of sets, models and props.

There is a reasonably extensive free library for you to play around with, and extra packs that you can pay for. Some more experienced animators can even add their own elements.

The software is quite complicated, but if you follow the step by step guide when making a template-based movie, it shouldn't take you too long at all to get the hang of it. Start small and work your way up.

This is a great piece of free software, and worth persevering with.
