Since Blogcosm tracks blogs, one might think that we would make sure to regularly update this blog -- no matter what. Then again, there's the old saying:

The cobbler's children have no shoes.

We're busy getting ready for BlogWorldExpo, and perhaps rolling out some new features there or soon after.

Just for fun, here are some variations of the proverb:

Quoted in a 1904 article in Page's Engineering Weekly:

The cobbler's children are always the worst shod.

Answers.com lists:

The shoemaker's son always goes barefoot.

They include a quote from 1546:

But who is wurs shod, than the shoemakers wyfe, With shops full of newe shapen shoes all hir lyfe?

Here are 2 variations from the WordReference forums:

He's a cobbler but wears shoes full of holes. (Poland)

A blacksmith uses a wooden stick. (Brazil)

Wikiquote has a variation of that one under Spanish proverbs:

In a blacksmith's house all knives are wooden.

And similar one in Czech proverbs:

The blacksmith's mare walks without horseshoes.

On to French proverbs:

Literal translation: The cobblers have the worst shoes

Idiomatic translation: The cobbler's children go barefoot.
