It all started off innocuously enough; I was sitting at the kitchen table trying to stretch a pair of Izzy's shoes with a can of hairspray (kid's shoes are expensive you know), when I heard the ping of an email arriving in my inbox.
I eyed the email suspiciously, because it was from someone I didn't know. I pressed the 'open' button with trepidation expecting to be offered meds that could help with my erection. Instead it read:
"Good morning!
I liked your blog post, http://www.blogher.com/insurance-and-iphones-its-weary-path, so much that I selected it to be included on the BlogHer.com home page, in the Featured Member section, today.
Congratulations – great post! I hope being featured on the home page will help you attract more readers!

Blimey! My bloody blog was featured on the homepage of 'BlogHer' - the biggest female blog website in the world..... a website that attracts 23 million unique visitors a month no less (I lifted that statistic off the BlogHer website to big myself up a bit more). It's a different gravy!
My leap was meteoric. One minute I was trying to stretch an extra couple of weeks out of Izzy's shoes, the next I was an international blogging star [note to self: urgently need to purchase a Fendi handbag, and get some queue barriers for outside my house].
So dahlinks, if you want to see my mug staring at you from the homepage of BlogHer, be quick, because I am only there for the day before I disappear into the ether again ..... consigned to my Joe Blogg existence. But for now, it's all so bloody exciting that I could eat a badger!
P.S. Did you know that Russians eat badger? It's being phased out a bit now because they keep contracting horrible diseases.

Whoo hoo! Congrats! I felt the same way once long ago when one of mine got on there. Sadly, when I tooka break, BlogHer left me so no ads right now.
Oh hello Denise! Are you new here? Welcome! it is always nice to have new readers. Glad you liked the post... I was a bit surprised by the BlogHer stuff to be honest!
You make me laugh Gumpher.... ! You must have read the whole bloody page to have spotted that!
Eh up Scargosn (aka secret Jennifer)! You made it on the homepage too? I glad it's not just me that found it mega-exciting.
Are you still posting on BlogHer by the way?
You crack me up and totally deserve to be there... Yep, you're just like Paris, minus the powdery nose and sex tapes... I think!
Now that you are a super star...you will forget the huddlesd masses...won't you? The grateful stalkers who flock to you blog to soak in every bit of wisdom you have to offer...lost forever...boohoohoo!
Okay fine! You're famous...deal with it :)
Be well,
Ron
*muwah* *muwah* *muwah* (on for each cheek and your ring finger) =)
Well your highness, I bow to your greatness! I've thought about joining BlogHer but haven't been able to decide if they would accept me with open arms or shove a boot up my ass...since I like my ass the way it is I've not joined! =)
You however, are genius and deserve every bit of the recognition! =)
Oh, and by the way, you'll never be like Paris Hilton...you have a BRAIN! (thankfully!)
Don't forget to post a pic of your new Fendi! =) hehe

Badger, huh? This is such an educational blog. The schools should make you required reading.
Congrats on the Blogher kudos and mega fame, that is so totally cool. Well done!
And yes, just like Paris Hilton, without the sex tape and cocaine...
" expecting to be offered meds that could help with my erection"

Good day!This was a really splendid website!
I come from milan, I was fortunate to search your theme in baidu
Also I obtain a lot in your website really thank your very much i will come every day
Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the web. You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

Reading this reminds me of my old room mate. That guy was one of the smartest persons I know, but he was a little too original for my tastes though. Anyways I appreciated reading this, thanks. Will give me something to go into when I see him.
