‘hey there nice blog =)’

The Blog counter recorded our milestone 40,000th hit sometime on Christmas day. Not surprisingly it went by largely unnoticed. Despite the holiday period being a traditionally quiet time for the Blog, our counter continues to suggest a readership well beyond our membership. How people manage to find us is largely unclear as we have elected not to be accessible to search engines.

Non-the-less. Last week Sammie received a an e-mail entitled: ‘hey there nice blog =)’ It went on to say:

Hi there blogger! Just visited your "Girl's Coffee Shop" blog and I was super impressed by its design and content. We started our site Lookville.com not too long ago. It's a place for people to have discussions, share tips, and ask questions about fashion. It's been going great so far and I would love to have you on it! check it out ......

For anyone who likes to look good this exciting site is well worth a visit. It tackles important questions like: ‘What shoes could I wear with these colours?’ and recently has done a piece on antebellum dresses (please note Monica)! The site can be found HERE (A link has also been added in the right hand column.)

Of course not only is this a lovely compliment, but the contact does promote the idea of linking to complementary interests.

We began life as a rather disparate and sometimes desperate group of ‘bi and lesbian’ women, who were ex-pats of Literotica. Since then we have grown to include ‘straight’ women, women who have never been in Literotica and even the odd house-trained man (that’s you Dan). There is a sound ethical basis for promoting the inclusion and participation of like minded people and as long as it accords with our over-arching purpose we have to-date welcomed that.

As we become more and more widely known, there may be a wish to become available for web search engines. There are also likely to be more opportunities for linking as well as requests to extend our membership. Either way I would welcome views on these matters. Thank you!
