Why 'houseblinger'?
Credit goes to Peter Bridge, of Aston, Herts UK, for suggesting housebling to describe houses extravagantly decorated with lights.

What is 'bling'?
If you're over thirty, you probably need to ask this question. The word originated with New Orleans rappers in the 'nineties and is an all-embracing term for diamonds, jewellery and glitzy style. Take a look on Apple's iTunes and you'll see how much bling there is about!

How can I take better pictures of my lights at night?
You're not alone. Go to our digital photography hints page.

Blingers' conference
It's hard to believe it, but there was a national symposium on houseblinging (in July 2005). And they're planning to do it again in 2007, at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. (link no longer available)
