I mentioned previously that I was interviewed for an article about PayPerPost. It was printed today in the L.A. Times, and you can view the article online here. I’m anxious to get my hands on a print copy as well, to see if one of the photos they took of me made it into the paper.

Overall, I like the article. I think we “non-elite” bloggers did a good job of defending ourselves and PayPerPost and letting people know it’s NOT all about the money. There are things I simply won’t write about, and I won’t make things up. I do wish they had included my URL ;-) Side note to someone who said I am shilling people - I have always been upfront about paid blogging here. Someone would have to be wearing pretty big blinders to miss that fact. I don’t hide it.

Read it and tell me what you think! (It was pointed out to me that the direct link may ask you to register to read the content. You don’t need to. Just use the sidebar search on the L.A. Times website to search on “PayPerPost” and the article will be shown to you.)

Edited to add: Thanks to Loretta for submitting this blog entry to digg.com - if you’re so inclined, please give it a digg!

Additionally, “hate comments” will not be approved. If you have a difference of opinion, and you can present it without resorting to insults, or namecalling, by all means - do share. But nasty comments? No way.

Hi Colleen:

I live in Perris CA, on hour north of San Diego.

Read your LA Times article.

I’m an insurance professional (29 years).

Any interest in reviewing my site?

I’m trying to create buzz with a number of articles etc,
but blogging & internet marketing etc. is not my forte.

Need to concentrate daily on insurance issues but
may over time be interested in having someone take over overall
marketing direction of my site.

I like the way you express yourself. You are very interesting to read.

Oh I Dugg it.

Thanks & Regards,

Linden

maybe the digging will make up for them not including your URL, what a load of crap
