  1. Everyone keeps asking about Quinn’s commitment to Minnesota. Everyone keeps pointing Jack and casting doubts. Who says Jack wants to stay in Jersey ? Personally if I were a Devils fan I’d be concerned. Who ever has cap and has a real shot at a championship most likely lands both. And I’m not sure it’s any team I’ve discussed.

  2. August for me means blog housekeeping — QR codes, tag audits, a new theme polish, and finally tackling that neglected About page. What's on your blogging to-do list?

  3. How I’m Using August for Blog Housekeeping and a QR Code Boost

    August – A Quieter Time for Bloggers

    Have you ever heard of the term ‘Silly Season?’

    Here in the UK, silly season takes up the whole of August. It’s when the UK parliament is on its summer break, and the newspapers usually have little to report on. The news can therefore be made up of more of those silly stories, such as the world’s biggest carrot contest or “Local Seagull Elected Honorary Mayor After Stealing 57 Chips in Under a Minute.”

    If you are a blogger, August can be very much like ‘Silly Season’. Why? Well, you may see more posts that take on silly themes because of lack of what is going on. This could well be one such post.

    Some bloggers take the opportunity to take a well-earned break from blogging in August. I’ve seen this happening already with folk announcing a summer break or informing their followers that they won’t be around the world of blogging as much as they usually are.

    For me, August usually means more time to write or read, or fiddle around with the look of my blog. Blog Housekeeping is something I’m a firm believer in. After all, we’re putting ourselves out there, so ensuring your blog looks the best it can to make it a welcoming and friendly place to visit is a must.

    ‘But it was only a few months ago that you did a complete makeover of your blog, Hugh,’

    I hear you. Yes, it’s true. My blog took on a whole new look when I jumped ship from a Classic to a Block theme. I wrote about the whole process and experience and three months down the line, I’m happy with how everything turned out.

    https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2026/04/20/youre-not-stuck-the-surprising-power-of-finally-changing-your-blog-theme/

    But I’m still fiddling with my blog! And now it’s August, it feels like a great time to get my blog ship-shaped for the rest of 2026 and beyond.

    Adding a QR Code to My Blog

    For starters, I’ve added one of those QR codes that seem to be appearing everywhere. Even on my TV set, I can log on to my streaming services via a QR code. In the car park, I pay via a QR code, and if I want more information on upcoming events at the local theatre, I scan a QR code.

    It seems we’ve become a ‘QR’ world. ‘Scan the QR code for the recipe.’ ‘Scan the QR code to read the first few pages.’ ‘Scan the QR code to book your ticket.’ ‘Scan the QR code to create a QR code.’ They’re everywhere and my blog has now joined the QR world.

    You’ll find the QR code towards the bottom of the side bar, just to the right of this post if you’re viewing it on a desktop or laptop comuter. It was easy to create, plus it has a picture of me in the middle. How cool is that?

    Sadly, if you scan the QR code, you won’t get the lowdown on what I ate for breakfast last Friday, or what I watched on TV last night, or see a video of me having two teeth implants fitted (thank goodness for that I hear you shout).

    If you rather not scroll down to see my QR code, here it is! It’s looks pretty much like any other QR code except for that picture of me. Where will it take you? Scan it and see.

    Time to Freshen Up

    I’m also planning an audit on the lists of blogs I follow, the categories and tags I use for posts, and deleting images and photos I no longer use from my blog’s media library, thus freeing up more space.

    Over to You

    Although I update the ‘About’ page of my blog regually, I’m taking the chance to having a look at it and make some changes, as well as updating any information. When was the last time you updated the ‘About’ page of your blog? You’d be surprised how many bloggers never update their ‘About’ page. I’ve seen some more than 10 years out of date. What does that tell you about the person behind the blog? Lazy? Forgetful? Doesn’t care?

    Before you go, I’d love to hear from you: When did you last update your ‘About’ page — or have you ever? What’s the one blog housekeeping task you keep putting off? Are you a take-a-break-in-August blogger, or do you use the quieter period to catch up?

    Happy Silly Season!

  5. Pretty sure every other GM in the league hates Danny B now …

  6. This Carlson offer sheet makes me paranoid about Scheafer and the islanders. Their to poor for this shit
    #isles #hnom #hockey #nhl #sillyseason

  7. It’s clear to me Darche is taking the slow burn it out approach just waiting for the bad untradable contracts to end. I don’t understand why they can just buy a few of them out? Speed up the process ? Maybe high draft pick is on the horizon for next year …

    #isles #hnom #hockey #sillyseason

  8. Utah was not on my short list but probably should
    have been. Anders Lee gets the best of both worlds, possible cup contention and an organization willing to give him security.

    Doesn’t hurt it’s a team I am rooting for .

    Utah your getting a player who has a high upside but be wary he has and can go invisible for long stretches of time ..

  9. Isles PR are treating acquiring Maccelli like they just acquired McJesus.

    Maybe the don’t understand who they picked up ?
    #hnom #isles #hockey #nhl #sillyseason

  10. For anybody wondering “what if” with Anders Lee, he’s a player looking for term and security. I imagine most “contenders” at best would underpay and give him a year or two at most. I expect teams like Columbus, Seattle , Vancouver, Chicago , ST Louis, Calgary or the Islanders to be in the best running.

    Anyone else would be a shocker and unlikely. Also his desire over stability or winning is a reason I don’t mind the Islanders parting ways with him.

  11. Im not going to pretend like I don’t understand. Islanders are on a lot of players no trade lists. To expect some blockbuster trade is next to impossible. It’s sort of like trying to get a jr job that asks for 29 years experience. You can’t get better unless you get talent. And for “my” team like many teams the only option is the draft. But the islanders keep giving away draft picks. So I’m seeing more years in purgatory ahead. And if your team is like mine you should expect the same …

  12. Most fan post number one pick are learning the traits of their draftees literally minutes after it’s announced their pick

  13. No one ask me to feel for Leafs fans ever again. Y’all don’t need it y’all just make your players feel like garbage. Self inflicted stuff right there …

  14. Here is my audacious NHL rumor for the week: Anders Lee to Buffalo in free agency.

  15. I will say I feel like Ottawa really did well in the end with the Brady T trade.

    And maybe this is a move were the Sens are going all Swede again ..

  16. Wait, Vikings are interested in Kyler and Geno. What about Rodgers? Oh, because it never was an option. #SillySeason

  17. Red Bull Line-Up for 2026: Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar at Red Bull Racing; Liam Lawson and Arvin Lindblad at Racing Bulls; Yuki Tsunoda as test driver

  18. Silly season: este não parece ser daqueles que morde; e, opá, tenho de ir ler a biblia com atenção, há neste quadro que fotografei na catedral de Salamanca elementos da mitologia judaico-cristã que desconheço de todo. #sillyseason

  19. Confesso que sou uma nulidade em teoria musical, mas não é ao contrário, o mi e depois o si? Ou há aqui algum duplo sentido que me escapa? #sillyseason

  20. Entre tantas outras, também é uma boa metáfora para o ser professor. Se bem que ao contrário de Sísifo, sempre podemos parar nas férias. #lego #sillyseason

  23. Scrolling f1 socials...

    Oh baby it is silly season for SURE, lmao.

  24. With the very bullish increase in new companies I am starting to see the MVNO space is becoming a very strong market. That being said I am seeing many of these new companies offer non-competitive rates.

    Before hoping on board to any of these new services: Trump (gag), Klarna, even established ones like Visible, Google Fi or T-Mobile do your research.

    You will be surprised who might actually work best for you … 40 dollars is not the lowest you can get for “unlimited”.

  25. For Islanders fans in my opinion Darche was the best pick, he’s calculated, meticulous one could even argue cut throat manager that gets deals done and the way he wants. And even still players want to play for them.
    #hnom #isles #nhl #hockey #sillyseason

  26. From everything I am hearing there is mutual interest from both Islanders ownership & Shanahan. The only thing left is to negotiate the contract. From what I can piece together Shanahan will be the one who has final say between the remaining GM choices
    #hnom #gm #isles #nhl #hockey #sillyseason

  27. Shanahan has been relieved of his duties in Toronto. Sounds like it’s a guarantee he’s coming to the Islanders. Wonder how the last two standing GM candidates feel about this ?

  28. You know it is Silly Season for "News" when you get articles like this:

  29. Sometimes I really miss living in Australia... a direct quote from this down under story reads "We never thought we’d have to say this, but don’t lick ice sculptures in public,” nypost.com/2024/12/12/world-ne
