Membership Has Its Privilege

Membership Has Its Privilege

You know that thing you said you'd never do? I mean, like, EVER?

Well . . . I did it.

MY thing I said I'd never do. Yeah, I did it today.

I did it for money. Hopefully.

It wasn't that bad.

Don't get me wrong -- I did it once. Although, now I'm a member of THAT club.

Sigh. I'm a member of THAT club, which I never wanted to join.

Whatever.

Can't erase the past.

I did it because I need money.

And, maybe some good will come out of this, you know?

Maybe doing it will bring me some money.

Holy cows, I hope so.

Because I sold out.

Wait -- I don't mean to make it sound like I think the other people who . . . did it . . . that they are sell-outs, because I don't. Think that. I don't think that. That they sold out. I don't.

So.

Moving forward.

Now that I'm the new member of . . . that club.

BlogHer.

*shiver*

I said it. It's going to be fine.

I'm gonna go lie down.

BlogHer.

Yeah.

Just kidding. I'm turning over a new leaf, trying something new, and trying to do this Bloggyworld thing right. Here we go. Watch me fly.

Welcome to the club.

Are you still thinking of heading towards SS? I STILL haven't gotten an answer, one way or another, whether or not BlogHer ads will run over there.

*sigh*

Bob, I don't usually blog EVERY day. I kind of blog ahead of time. At this very moment, I have two posts awaiting publication in MAY. Yeah, I'm that kind of gal.

Still, trying to figure out how to make more money (or any money) makes my brain hurt and sometimes impedes my blogging of actual content. I sort of suck at that lately. So I post photos.

Good for you.

Better than prostitution, no?

Well, you go girl!

GIT-R-DONE!

Goddess:

I have a suggestion. Don't turn your computer on, say, Mon, Wed, Fri. Or sumthin' like that.

I'm glad you're trying new things. but you got it backwards, THEY should be happy to have YOU.

Let's see, I've been blogging since May 16, 2002. I've been amongst the upper echelon of bloggers at one point, linked by the kings and queens of the blogosphere, and you know what? It doesn't make a bit of difference if you're not blogging for the fun of it.

I've done the paid blogging thing. I've done the "join us" thing. The only thing that is 100% guaranteed from any of it is that you're bound to disappoint some (most likely yourself) if you aren't true to who you are.

Now, that said, I'm still trying to figure out a way to not have to actually blog every day and yet some massive benefits of some sort. It hasn't happened in seven years. Don't think it'll happen any time soon.

You aren't going to start trying to sell me soap are you?

All I have to say to you is this:

"Conform and be dull"

Yes.
You can quote me.
Oh, you don't want to quote me?

Fine.
See you in Chicago for the conference?

Sheesh! Don't scare me like that! I thought you were gonna say you joined Sam's Club or something!

Posted by: Cactus Petunia | April 10, 2009 at 10:41 AM

Um, I've been listed there... posted maybe 3 of my own posts with reference back to my blog and really? Nothing. Meh. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Let me know your experience, I'll be curious.

You should buy one of Bossy's BlogWhore T-shirts.

...Whew! You had me wonderin' what in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks you were talkin' about there for moment! lol...

...Isn't BlogHer an elite blogging club for those that have top o' the line blogs with mucho traffic? Whatever it is "you go girl!" :o) I'm with CBW there tho', the BlogHer name sounds more like an abusive action than a nice place to visit...I'm just sayin'...

...BlogHer Blessings... :o)

I fully intend to live vicariously through you. Be generous with the info, okay?

Posted by: Caution Flag | April 10, 2009 at 05:48 AM

I am still on the fence....and I have the ads;)

Posted by: Mental P Mama | April 10, 2009 at 05:07 AM

Let me know what you find out, and could you pass along some feedback regarding the name BlogHer? It sounds like something somebody does to someone else rather than a cute, catchy name for an organization.

Or, maybe I'm just grumpy due to exhaustion and lack of coffee.
