Evening all.
It looks like I was "featured" today. I really appreciate this in principle, but ... I had a couple of much better posts recently that were overlooked, and the one they've featured is basically a quick "must post something, this will have to do" type entry. It's part of Augusta's memoir, but not one of the more exciting or historically interesting parts, particularly.
And it's a few days old already, too - not new.
And they have "trailed" it saying Augusta is in NY, when she is in fact in Waterbury, Connecticut. Easy mistake to make; but still.
I don't really get why they passed on recent stronger posts that genuinely deserved a bit of oxygen, but have trained a spotlight on this one ... if anyone clicks on it b/c it's featured I'm afraid they will assume it must be among the best I can offer as it's been picked up by MN. You know? At least, that's what I would probably subconsciously think if I clicked through the featured header to a blog that I hadn't tried before.
Slightly moot point anyway as only two people have clicked from the MN bloggers home page today.
Bah. [grumpy]
(If MNHQ is reading, I don't mean to be ungrateful at all, it's just the end of a very long day. Sorry.)
