I may be drunk but I’m not a spam blog
Hello and welcome to the new and hopefully temporary digs of Friday Playdate. Blogger has decided that the ORIGINAL Friday Playdate is a spam blog, and has locked me out. I can draft but not post, and where’s the fun in that?
I’m blaming Chris for this whole situation; she linked to me twice in one week and tripled my traffic, which apparently is a sign to Blogger that you are Up to No Blogging Good. Also because she is so wee and pretty and funny and I’m sad that tomorrow when I wake up she won’t be right here throwing gang signs.
And yes, I realize that it’s time to get a new hosting service. If you have any suggestions, let’s hear ‘em. In the mean time, we’ll be hanging here. And fuming.
I have all sorts of things to tell you about Chicago and about the conference and about our hotel room which had a window that opened out of the bathroom and into the actual ROOM which made it a little awkward to pee (and never mind doing any OTHER sort of bathroomy business, if you get my drift). I had a fantastic time even though I was stalked by paparazzi and clearly in need of an exorcism. Or an intervention.
But tonight I’m really really tired because Chris and SJ made me stay up waaaaay too late every night, but tomorrow I will tell you about our $1,600 bar bill and the Nancy Drew Dress and the man who was jogging in his tighty whiteys.
I love Chicago. Blogger, however is On My List. Now who wants some cheap Viagra?

Wordpress! Wordpress! Wordpress! They’re the best!
And check out hosting your own at DreamHost! They’re awesome, too!

I just realized that I have to update the feed for your site; otherwise I’d have been by sooner!
I second the Wordpress cheers! Especially after BlogHer where I learned a few new tricks thanks to Slackermama.

Susan, I just saw this article about Google disabling their own blog as spam, and with your recent experience, I thought it might amuse you: http://tinyurl.com/24bx7e.
