I am away at the moment for my Dad's birthday. I'll be blogging again on Monday or Tuesday.

Hello, I am missimg your very informative blog,but the birthday of your father is of greater importance. So best wishes to him and good health for the next years. Kind regards from Germany
Many thanks to all, and it's great to hear from you Ray! I sent him the best wishes, of course.
In answer to the question about how many people run the blog the answer is that there's only one person updating the blog (me). But there are lots of people and who help out with content, and I have some good automated systems set up. Kat Newkirk sends me links on a daily basis, and various people send me photographs for the Photo For Today section (at the moment Rick Menges has sent me enough to last for several weeks). I also use Yahoo Alerts and Google Reader to aggregate news from around the web, and I have a list of websites which don't have RSS but which I check on a regular basis.
When I go away I either use my laptop to continue the updates if I have a wireless connection or I take time off for good(ish) behaviour, as I did when I went to see my father.
I'm a day late updating the blog but I've been busy with other things. There are, however, a lot of minor news items with which to update the blog so I'll be back online either this evnening or tomorrow!
This blog was set up in 2004 to aggregate news about Egyptology and related topics from online sources on a regular basis. It was closed finally in September 2013 due to other commitments. It has been left open as an archive, but comments have been disabled.
Kindest regards to all Andie andie {at} oddthing.co.uk

Is it just one person who runs this blog?
It seems like your posts are updated daily, it's hard to imagine its just one person doing it all.
Happy Birthday to your Dad!!!!!!!!!!
He's lucky to have a Daughter as nice as my own.
