Posting an Advertisement

Today I placed an advertisement on the Newsfeed. Although I once had ambitions of getting into the advertising game, I think this is the first time I’ve thrown one at WDC. So the results are fairly amateurish. But advertising’s only job is to shout the name of the product into listening ears and hope it sticks, so this one might work.

I used a pretty large font and emboldened it to make it clear that it’s intended to be loud. That was a bit boring so I figured I needed an illustration for extra interest. I dug around and found a pic of Pookie - that’ll do it, thought I. She went in.

The idea is that people love cat photos. Even writers. So I’m on to a winner right from the start. Add to that the way Pookie’s feline stare insinuates itself into human souls and we’re definitely getting somewhere. She tells me that she was actually thinking about butter at the time but what we don’t know won’t hurt the ad, will it?

Anyway, the ad is posted and I now sit back and wait for the thousands to sign up for Jayne’s The Daily Poem contest. Can’t fail, can it?
