I’m at a loss for words, The Soft Landing (as in the one and only superstar blogger Alicia who created The Soft Landing Blog) read me and then tweeted about me.
Me. Little old me among many blathering bloggers in the blogosphere. I’m the one who reads her. She’s my manual for all the good stuff. Holy brush with greatness.
Of course she wasn’t reading and commenting on me just because Lolo is a wickedly cool kid. She also read and enjoyed my write-up on bpa-free insulated straw cups and wanted to pass the post along to her readers here on Twitter.
This is big. This is insane big for me. This is like Heather from dooce calling and asking me if I want to go shoe shopping with her at Nordstrom big.
In any case, I’m over the moon and wanted to add in a little follow-up. (And, thank you to Lisa for bringing this up.) Yes, I knowingly left two insulated cups by Thermos out of my list of options. The Foogo and the Funtainer look like great cups but they are just too expensive for the stage we’re at now which is an 18 month-old throwing her cups on the concrete when she’s ready to resume using her sidewalk chalk.
So, what’s the takeaway for all of the aspiring bloggers out there? If you’re looking to increase traffic and want famous bloggers to read your posts along with picking up readers from as far away as Finaland and New Zealand. Stick to the basics, bpa-free cups and ganglion cysts on the side of your foot. Seriously. I cannot tell you the amount of traffic I get just from people looking for articles about ganglion cysts (which I talk about here, here, here, here and here). Apparently it’s another hole in the Internet. In any case, thank you Alicia. I can’t wait to see what happens with my traffic now.
