Articles on my site
Culturalenigma wrote in message ... I don't think you'll get much free info given to be honest. It's your website afterall. I understand where you are coming from, but it might be better to advertise on the site itself for articles and I'm sure that in time "fans" of your site will gladly send you articles. I wish you all the best. I've had some hits - I'm not really looking for "free info", just if anyone wanted to submit gardening articles. I will say this though - I love to garden. I love to design gardens. I like to look at them, weed them, sit in them and read in them. I like having my hands in the dirt and smelling the earth. It's a miracle that so many wonders can come from a well planned or even a poorly thought out garden. Each one can be a miracle into itself. I consider myself a gardener. All that being said, I find that this group (with exceptions, you know who you are, you have not been mean towards me) is terribly mean and uninviting. I had no idea that I would be made to feel so unwelcome simply for being a fan of someone. It isn't even that I got upset that you weren't fans of who I was, it was the remarks and comments and assumptions made. So - I'll head back over to the NG's that I do post at and simply stay there. Apparently I'm not good enough for this one. To those of you who were nice to me or who just weren't crappy towards me thank you. Happy gardening, "whatever the weather". Tracie Tracie, I feel the same as you re this group. I think there are too many "know alls" fighting to impress with latin (or is it greek) names and their "vast" knowledge. It isn't a friendly group for a gardening newbie I agree, or even for a part time gardener. 50% at least of posts end up argumentative because the regulars *have* to prove their knowlege and how good they are and so friendliness goes out of the window. It's fine for info but not for passing the time of day as it were. I sit here thinking dare I ask that question, is it too simplistic etc. There are other UK based message boards that are more friendly and not so competitive. When you asked for articles for your website, I knew you had no chance from here - they think they are an elite bunch above you and me. It doesn't even stop at gardening either, we *have* to post correctly too. Left right left right all in line! It's quite amusing really how people can be so straight laced, closed minded and pedantic too. |
