I got an email this morning with the subject “congrats,” which immediately made me think it was either lotto scam or Nigerian scam email. Of course, those don’t go in the trash, but into my Nigeria folder, which now has over 300 amazing examples in it, including the two that came in today, from “Barrister Jacklin Gogo” and “MR:James Amah the first son of his Royal Majesty [ CHIEF MATTHEW DEDE Amah ].” <\/p>\n

When I read this message, though, I discovered it was actually not spam, but notification that my blog had been picked as the “site of the day” by Coolstop.com<\/A>, a site which seeks to point out cool, non-commercial creativity on the web. The reviewer took the time to look around a bit, and had some nice things to say about my work in his site reviews” href=”http:\/\/coolstop.com\/reviews\/?seek=http:\/\/www.doubleperf.com\/”>review<\/a> of my blog. Turns out he got there from another blog’s mention<\/A> of my photo booth<\/A> section. Maybe the word is beginning to get out. <\/p>\n

On the other side of the coin of higher visibility, there’s this mention<\/a> in the “this ‘n that” section of Boston Common’s blog watch that seems to think I’m a girl. I know I’m slightly anonymous, but that’s because most of my readers know me or are related to me. Do I write like a girl? And how exactly does that sound?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
