The winner of Zoom's auction, AndrewZRX, wrote me several days ago:
Greetings Mr. Dwarf,
It seems I have foolishly won an eBay auction for an ESI guest blog. I am new to the ESI experience and therefore require some guidance. What have I actually won? (Do I even want to know?)
Just to fill you in on some boring details about me:
[personal details about Andrew redacted in case he doesn't want to share them with all of you] I myself don't have a blog though I do write some.
Can you give me an idea of the kinds of readers who frequent the ESI blog, and what, if anything, I should be doing regarding this most unfortunate turn of events.
Thanks
Andrew
Yesterday, I replied:
Hello Andrew,If any of you have thoughts on what I might tell young Andrew, please leave a comment to this posting. The matter was also discussed at an Emergency Meeting largely held to address this topic and I believe Aggie will be posting the minutes any moment now. [After the beating I took for answering the meme all by myself, I don't dare answer Andrew's question on my own initiative.]
Please, my father is Mr. Dwarf, call me Fourth.
Sorry about the delay in replying. I often forget to check my email.
You've won the opportunity to do a posting on our blog. http://elginstreet.blogspot.com/
We consider ourselves to be a metablog - a blog about blogs, but we also have postings on anything that tickles our fancy.
I'm not sure about what kind of readers we have. Perhaps I can give you a better answer tomorrow.
