Learned a lot… again…

I felt it was enough of an issue that I should at the very least give Tully his own individual recognition
Hey now, that just made my day! Ok, so is this a result of me pushing my own site? Well, yes, in a way… See, I got lost in the shuffle a couple months back, figured I did, but up till now didn’t do anything about it.
Back a couple months ago, Gack Ink was brand new and working out some bugs with the site and template. They did an open call for blog submissions (which I of course jumped on), I was accepted, there were some posting issues, and I was forgotten. Someone’s fault? DAMNED RIGHT – Mine.
Mine? Absolutely. If I thought that my site was worthy enough the first time to be submitted, let alone be accepted, why didn’t I say something earlier? Would it be easier to say something later? *ah-hem* (we’ll get to that). Are there other things I’m not standing up for and I’m letting slide?!
It was quite the eye-opener today when I decided to send an email inquiring as to why I’d been overlooked… Here I am, two months later sheepishly asking why my blog isn’t listed. Yeah, not fun because a) I didn’t want the ladies at Gack to feel bad knowing what it’s like to start a new project such as this, b) I felt like a tool for not standing up for it sooner (would have been easier then!), and c) how do I get across that I believe in my blog, I believe in their site, and it’s not all about my blog?
(bet you’re glad you’re reading this and not writing it…)
And so, to the ladies at Gack, thank you for the inclusion into your site, and the generous words/recommendation in your post. Things happen, and I hope I was able to help work out some bugs so that the site can grow to meet it’s potential.
All the best,
Tully.

Hi Tully
Well one good thing came out of it for me – I discovered a great new site. I’ve just joined Gack Ink too, so I hope to see you around the Gack Ink cafe.
They do have a cafe, don’t they?
All the best

Hi Yvonne, and welcome!
Ok, it’s taken me 20 min to write this comment because I was over on your blog reading!
Cafe? I think we’re going to need one if the quality of blog keeps up like this, simply because I know I’m going to be up all night reading….
