In which I am distressed

I have been downgraded.

I used to be part of Winston's Daily Bread but now I am a frequent stop. What has happened to my blog for it to lose its appeal for Winston?

Have I got too christiany? Too serious? Too stupid? Too much the same? How have I changed? Have I not changed enough?

Who will answer my questions?

Well, I'm the wrong one to answer Liz....for I was downgraded on Winston's site before you were. And...we're not the only ones. Maybe we should form our own club...LOL. That fickle little fella...

Have you asked him outright? You know, I have SO many blogs that I've visited and found interesting that it's just impossible to go there every day. But there are others (like yours) that I check daily. I love what you write about - some family stuff, dog stuff, daily doings, outings to the country & seashore, along with work and thoughts on Christianity. I wouldn't feel bad cuz as one might leave, another will come by and stay.

Oh, Liz, I never intended to cause you any discomfort. There are some who would say you were lucky to not have me snooping around so often. (big grin)

No, nothing you have done or not done. Same goes for Joy. From time to time I rotate people in and out of there. I had a post about that sometime in the past and if I can find it, will give you a link to it.

Leslie said it correctly -- there are just so many blogs that I want to visit on a daily basis but time does not permit. You are the first person who has noticed and said anything, so I shall reward you with being promoted once more. I do appreciate your loyalty and interest more than I can express in this limited space.

Have I got too christiany?

No such thing, Liz. People ahve their own problems, move on and so on. Lady Macleod used to visit me but doesn't anymore. I'm sad. Liz Hinds stopped visiting me for a long time. Ruthie rarely visits.

All had issues.

Even Welshcakes, my mainstay, visits less now.

It happens.

Oh deary, deary me!

What are you going to do on Judgement Day, Liz?
You can't run whining to Him that it wasn't your fault,
that you didn't live up to His expectations. He is made of sterner stuff than Winston.
You won't be able to bully your way past Him!

Satire aside, we bloggers must all learn to live with the judgement of our readers.
Sometimes an entry of mine turns out to be popular, bringing 7000+ readers daily.
Others bore people and the numbers drop to 1500 daily. As they will
on the post I'm composing now for thursday's blog. Readers vote with their feet.
So what? Main thing is to write for ourselves ( = cartharsis?).
Position on others blogroll shouldn't worry you. You must be prepared to piss off readers,
this comment is proof that I am ;-)

Like Winston, I like to juggle my blogroll around, introducing new people each month..
This month I offer you all :-
Enough about you,
Fabian Lau (in German),
Kees Kennis and
The Poor Mouth.

Should they turn out to be better than you (in the sense of 'appealing more to me')
then they get promoted and you get demoted. Solution? Try harder, if it bothers you.

But don't whine!

I have reprimanded that pond-leaf person severely. Have a look at his comments for confirmation.

PS are you really a Christian? I had you down as a devil-worshipper..!!
