Slutty, I apologise if you didn’t get add to the Scottish Blogs website. I don’t recall deliberately NOT adding you and it is possible that my rudimentary (read: cobbled together) filter blocked your site without telling me.

I also don’t recall a comment being left here, although it’s possible that was captured by the spam filter (probably keying of your nickname which contains two words that spam engines will have marked as ‘bad’).

I certainly did ever receive an email from you to either my personal email address, nor to the Scottish Blogs email address, if I had I would have responded and sorted the problem out.

If you have such issues in future, would you be so kind as to contact me directly, rather than raising it here? I fear you have been the victim of my shodding coding more than any “problem” I have with what you do for a living.

Well, all I can say MisssyM is that you should feel lucky you even got to join the Scottish Blogs website. I applied to join ages ago, but that request was completely ignored. Then I left a comment on this blog asking to join….but NOTHING!

Clearly a certain someone has got a problem with what I do for a living.

Scottish Blogs was the first community I joined and I have got to know quite a few good bloggers through randomly clicking on the entries.

I appreciate that hosting/setting up this must be a hell of a lot of work, so I won’t pressure you (especially as I can’t help, not even knowing how to do bold type in a comment with HTML).

Just to say that if you feel there’s no point, well, I would disagree. Scottish Blogs is appreciated and was doing a fine job of diverting people to blogs of worth. And lots of other communal things that I was too lazy to get involved in but other people seemed to get a lot out of.

Would be a shame to see it go, I think.

I completely agree with both Peggy and Baxter, neither of whom I would have met had it not been for the Scottish Blogs website – your good self, Richard Leyton and the others whose company I had the privilege of enjoying also cases in point. I would have been deprived of many pleasureable hours of reading into the bargain!! In a nutshell, my life would have been that much more impoverished as a result – so all I can do is urge you not to ditch it altogether, whilst at the same time acknowledging what a huge amount of effort creating and maintaining such a site must involve (I barely have enough time to research the essays for my own blog as it is!).

Ahh but James, I still have passion for it, but I need to pay the bills first! Scottish Blogs was, and will always be, a side project, but please do not think I am not passionate about it. I would think the amount of time I spent creating and maintaining the site might indicate that I think it is worthwhile!
