HAHAHAHA ONLY JOKING!!

TA-DA!!!! I'M FINALLY HERE after much moaning on Twitter and a lost application, Mumsnet have fast-tracked my application and I'm now officially a "Mumsnet Blogger". What have I let myself in for??

Some of you may already know me, in which case "Hi" - make yourselves known.
Some of you may never have heard of me, in which case "Hi" - where the frig have you been for the past two years?
Some of you may know me from a previous life where I had a different username, in which case "Hi" - and sssshhhh we don't talk about that any more.
Some of you may know me in real life, in which case "Hi" - isn't it time you rang me and we arranged a coffee date?
Some of you have probably clicked off by now and though "weirdo", in which case "Bye".

I have been described as Tigger, Quirky and The Queen of Rants. I blog at Typecast

Hello. It looks like there's been a bit of confusion about the Mumsnet Bloggers Network and about the Bloggers forum here on Mumsnet Talk, so we just wanted to make a couple of things clear.

First off, anyone can apply to join the Mumsnet Bloggers Network. You don't have to be a Mumsnetter to apply. But you DO have to join Mumsnet when you register your application. So everyone who successfully joins the Mumsnet Bloggers Network is a Mumsnetter - but some of them may be very, very new newbies.

This Bloggers forum is part of Mumsnet Talk ? not some separate place ? as we thought our Bloggers would like a place to discuss blogging and swap tips. It's fine for people to link to their blogs from this forum ? it would be a bit weird otherwise ? but on the rest of Mumsnet Talk we do discourage people from posting links to their blogs or otherwise promoting their blogs, as we know spamming is annoying.

We'll look at how we can make this distinction as clear as possible because we know it's a wee bit confusing.

And finally, of course, we do expect everyone posting in the Bloggers forum to follow our Talk Guidelines when they post - just as we would expect every other Mumsnetter to. Everyone who joins the Mumsnet Bloggers Network is emailed a guide to how the Talk forums work and a link to our Talk Guidelines.

Okay, it's actually so confusing, I'm confused now

It turns out you DON'T have to join Mumsnet when you apply to join the Mumsnet Bloggers Network - but you do have to join if you want to post in the Bloggers forum (or anywhere else on Mumsnet Talk).

Apologies for the misinformation - all my fault. DarrenMumsnet had just handed me the MNHQ Dunce Cap and I'm off to sit in the corner till I'm properly sorry.
