Good to get the update, RS. I deleted the site once you departed the scene.
There is only so much energy that anyone has. Your efforts here have been rewarding to many of us, and it is probably for the best, that your talent can be focused, here.

Editing - yes. But not re-writing to the extent that he did. That was way beyond editing. Maybe he's just too crass to know that?
And putting others work under his own name is just... you know.
His current headline post has his own drivel under pics which I'm sure BoO found for him. The pics I like. The prose is pish.
IMO

Can we please get our point across with less profanity? People get a lot of latitude on here but hammering one person without it being amusing gets tiring. I want to be entertained, I thought this was a thread about blogs both good and bad, not about one person.

I have to admit to tailoring my petty little attacks to suit the victim: Harris didn't like being called a liar and Mr. Chevsnold doesn't like any of the stuff written above. Once one has said it all though then its all been said, which is probably the point we have reached here now.

- WASP101 is an interesting blog isn't it? It's one which it's very hard to judge as nobody but Richard knows what he's up to with it. He gets hits & comments though & clearly has a lot of fun. I'd say that makes the blog a success. Maybe the point it raises is what's the point of blogging? What is the motivation behind it? Ego? Commercial concerns? Career advancement? Fun?
Why blog?

Re: O' Bloggery of Bloggeries, in the end all is....
I'll need to look it up again, Tony - It was from an article in The Guardian I think. The figure is amazingly high.
A PS to the 'Ivy Style' saga is that Mr. Chevsnold has now bowed out of the forum business & has set himself up on Facebook to sell his wares instead - I move which I think is rather smart on his behalf & which also tells us more than a little something about his target demographic.
I also think that finally the site has now found its niche: A populist presentation of our 'Talk Ivy' stuff and yet another entry level way in like 'Trad' is/was to some. And I welcome all doors that lead people into Ivy.
Sometimes we talk about a blog ourselves, but I doubt we'd ever do it. A forum or a website is more our style. An ezine was another idea... But it's THE BOOK that interests everyone most.
Other changes on the 'Ivy Style' front are that in the 'About' section there is no longer a stated aim to unite everyone. An interesting change of tack I think.
Uniting eveyone is well worth doing, but it's a job for the right people. For a newbie to have aimed that high shows the kind of optimism which you can only admire.
Oh that I were not so jaded!
