Not a popularity contest
A month in, and I’m slightly taken aback at the number of comments appearing in reply to my blog posts. The only person I sent a link to was Jay, but somehow I seem to be collecting an audience.
My main problem is figuring out who is actually reading it. Jay had the good manners to create a Blogger ID with her name on it. Kev luckily made lots of references to Newcastle and signed off as ‘downunder k’, which sounds like a limited edition breakfast cereal. davidfisher6932 sent me a lovely link to a dating site and said how great my blog was, but it turns out that was spam!!! (Yes Jay, you are not special I’m afraid)
Most annoying of all, someone has purposefully remained anonymous, then signed off with ‘guess who’! How am I supposed to guess?! (Is that you Taff?)
Another side effect of all this attention is increased pressure to not only post more regularly than I have been managing, but also to be more interesting, this post not being a great example. Have to keep the vicarious pleasures coming thick and fast.
Tonight is the opening reception of The London Design Festival 2005 at the National Gallery. Last year we found ourselves stood shoulder to shoulder with John Prescott and Zandra Rhodes, so who knows what excitement will feature in tomorrow’s post? An in depth critique of Tom Dixon’s rubber band bench which is currently sitting in Trafalgar Square maybe. Or perhaps just a review of the canapés.
