Am I The Only One...

who writes a blog to write something other that self-promotion? Seriously, is this the only reason to blog on Silkfair? If so, then I need to get with the program and start selling myself!!! But, I've never been good at that...gues that's why I'm not rich and famous like some others...

I just logged on to the SF front page, and what did I see? A semi-nude woman sitting in a chair with lacy red lingerie...is that what I'm on this site for? Is that why I tell people to come to this site? I don't THINK so...I have absolutely no problem with you selling whatever it is the market wants...I just don't want to see it on the friggin' front page of a site I'm telling everyone to go to. You want a site you can sell your quasi-smut on? Fine...I just don't want that site to g*&$ d*$#@ advertise it on the front page. I'm just sayin'.

Fire Mountain Gems just notified me that they accepted three of my polymer clay items as finalts in their 2009 competition...yipee!!! Here's hoping one of them will make it to a placed item!

Cheers!

for being a finalist at Fire Mountain Gems!

To answer your question about blogs & self promotion, most blogs (not only the Silkfair ones) of online sellers are mostly about promoting their business. On one hand, it's a good thing (if you don't do it, there are little to none doing for you anyway). On the other hand, all these blogs lose a lot on the personal touch and building a connection with the readers.

Personal touch is the most important reason why I like your blog so much. I read your lines and see when you're pissed off, when you're happy, when you're concerned, when you're content. I know you're a human being, just like me and this counts a lot in my book.

...thanks so much!

I started the blog because, a) I needed an outlet to tell everyone once in a while something I've learned about PC, b) I wanted (needed?!?) a place to just gab about anything I wanted, and c) I needed a place to just gab about anything I wanted...you can tell I don't get out much???

I have a great tendency to just say what's on my mind...unfortunately (for others, I guess) I don't edit the way others think I should, and that winds me up in the dog house more often than not. I do try to be relevant...just 'cause something inane pisses me off, I don't sit down and start banging away on the keyboard!!!...I hope. However, if something inane makes me happy, everyone hears about it!!!

At any rate, I greatly appreciate the few who do read me, respond to me, and then keep on reading. I have an outlet here for personal and creative reasons, and my husband and dogs get to live another day because of it!!!

OBTW...I've tried and have never been able to really promote myself. I was born without the gene, so I'm thankful my livliehood and welfare don't depend on it...they would have buried me long ago, if so!!!
Cheers!
