I completed the Ultimate Blog Challenge which was to post every day during July. I blog daily anyway so it wasn’t much of a challenge to be honest. Well done to everyone who participated. A pat on the back from Jack to one and all. I came across a couple of interesting sites and may have picked up a few extra pansy fans along the way. It’s difficult to be certain about numbers as my posts on Amy Winehouse and Gay Marriage sent my hits through the roof – 4,500 for these two posts alone. The Amy Winehouse piece was so successful that I’m thinking of concentrating on obituaries from now on and will be scouring the pages of the London Times for the recently deceased. The posts also attracted some great comments. However, there was one that I didn’t publish. Some sicko wrote something truly vile about Ms Winehouse. I trashed it. I can do that. It’s my site. Hopefully one or two of these pansy novices liked what they read and will come back for more. Not the sicko, though. He’s not welcome in Pansyland.

congratulations Jack – I bathe in your reflected glory!

The world is full of crazy people but they’re not using my website to vent their spleens. That’s what the TLF is for!

We do get some wacko comments, fortunately my filters pick up most of the rubbish but like you, it’s my site, and if I don’t like the comment into the trash it goes. If someone wants free speech they can bugger off and buy their own domain and work at it and they can stop using mine simply to piggyback their way up the rankings. Spammy posts – into the trash. Rude posts – into the trash. Thoughtless annoying posts with too many exclamation marks – into the trash. I am power mad! (note acceptable use of exclamation mark) K xxxx

Good for you and Karen I agree with you about exclamation marks, they really are the skidmarks of punctuation.

What was the ultimate blog challenge Jack? That one passed me by! Re the comment. Well done. If they want to vent filth, they should start their own blog.

Exactly! I can’t remember where I picked up the Ultimate blog Challenge but I joined for the July challenge. They’re doing another in October I think. You blog then add the post to their facebook page and tweek it to their Twitter list. To be honest it’s a bit of a PR opportunity for the people who run it but it did raise my profile a bit.
