 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| 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? Word count: 202 |
