How Ironic

25 03 2007

Hi Everybody

This is just to say hi and to apologise about the spelling mistake in the blog address (actually it was more of a typing error)  . It’s very ironic, because I’m always the one preaching to my friends about their spelling and about proof reading things they have written.  I can just say that I feel very blond at this stage and I’ve tried to find a way to correct it, but there just isn’t one!

Hey christelle,

Just found your blog, don’t know much about irony, but this is the first comment I am leaving on any wordpress blog, those of you who know me, might actually find it ironic. But there is a simple explanation: it doesn’t ask for any public announcements of what I am thinking. By the way, I like the fact that more and more people start blogging, and I will be reading your posts.

PS the only way to change the url (adress of your site) is to create a new blog (hopefully without spelling errors), copy everything, and the delete this one. Although I quite like the mistake, it allows me to make some too :-)

Thanks, Maryke. I think I’ll keep the mistake just to remind me not be so hard on my friends (or myself).

I’m glad you are on board:-) Will LOOOVVVVEEE to read what you write. It’s interesting, the spelling mistake might become a trademark of the blog. It might become a metaphor for the reality of life. But if you want to change it, now is a good time.
Another idea is to simply create another blog with the correct adress, and put a link to this one, with an explanation why you decided to keep this one. Because it’s gonna be difficult to direct someone verbally to the blog. On the other and, one seldomly direct someone verbally to a blog, it’s usually through links, so maybe that’s not needed.
Then again, you can always just create the other blog, and keep is so no ons else can take it, and decide later on.

The main reason why you are feeling blond is probably becuase you are blond? ;-)

Anyway, don’t torture yourself too much about the mistake, you’re human and humans make mistakes and that’s how we learn. But it’s still very funny :-D
