Bloggers: why not create your own personalised pattern on the Adver “blog calendar” by carefully timing the dates on which you post your blogs?

This month featuring the Chequerboard effect:

It's ideal for cutting out and using as a miniature chessboard for your pet mice.

You might also like to try the following alternative styles:

• Columns: for example during September, post your blog on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th etc. to achieve this effect.

• Diagonal: in September, post your blog on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, etc.

• Carpet Bombing: post every day of the month to create that wall-to-wall “shag pile” effect.

• Firing Blanks: don’t bother posting anything for a whole month (unfortunately I don’t think that is humanly possible for me).
