I have had to break off from writing my profile of Peterborough for my agents agents to report on my reply from The Strumpette.
I wrote asking her three questions: 1. How many hits has she had on her site; 2. Is she really as easy as she claims? 3. What advice would she give to a working PR mum.
Her reply came within five hours and said:
“With regard to hits, in the last 72 hours or so, I’ve gotten about 25,000. It is pretty amazing to me. I started this because the man I am seeing was totally engrossed in basketball (and not me). I was bored. Strumpette was done totally on a lark.
“As to being “easy,” reminds me of my best friend in college, a woman by the name of Linda. She was a total goose. I did not know anyone who had not slept with her. But since she was so funny, smart and free spirited, one would never think her as loose. Her pet line was, “I may be good but I ain’t easy.
“Lastly, as to work and family, remember life is all about family. If you keep that in mind, all else will fall in line.”
I am amazed that she found the time to reply and post a comment on my blog – she must have had far better pastimes on her mind.
Come to think of it, my husband is totally addicted to footie and Ebay, Amanda has given me an idea or two to ponder on …
Dear Ellee, I don’t mean to be pernickety but I think this is something you may want to know, with you being in the profession you are in: you’ve misspelled ‘consultant’ in your title. Don’t worry, most people won’t have noticed. I’m just particularly anal.
A tip if I may: you may find that more people are willing to leave comments if you remove one or two layers of security. There’s very little that can be done to sabotage Blogger weblogs. Having said that, I do use comment moderation myself, but this is primarily because I like to try to respond individually to each comment if I can.
Thanks for the message. Yes, I had missed it, I rejigged my template so many times at the weekend and did not see the double SS slip through.
I wasn’t aware about the problem of security for people leaving comments, I will look into that too.
You’re welcome Ellee. It’s easily done! Rejigging my template is something I still do with great trepidation, what with all those indents and incomprehensible squiggles. I think ‘gobbledegook’ would be more accurate than ‘template’…
🙂
