So we had a comp on the Baby Led Weaning.com Facebook page to celebrate 6000 ‘likes’ (seriously… I KNOW).
My chum, the lovely and talented Charlie Meyer had offered us this charmingly bonkers image as a prize, and so it fell to her children to pick a name from a virtual hat, or at the very least make a bored, stabbing motion at the screen. And upon whom did their grubby finger alight?
Step forward Miss Laura Oakley! CONGRATULATIONS! Make a speech! Oops, she fell over her huge dress! YAAAY!
We hope you love it very much.
(Also… I have another announcement. Brace yerselves.
As you may already have observed… we need to revamp the site. We (ahem, mostly mostly Jem) had actually done quite a bit, but it all had to get chucked for one reason and another and basically it’s all taking a long time. Money, innit? We can’t make the time to do it, because we’re not getting paid and we have mouths to feed.
So. The big plan had been to put ads on the new site, but unless we can make ourselves some time to make the site… we’re stuck.
New Plan.
We’re going to dip our toes into the ads thing (I’ve been refusing them for YEARS now) and see if that frees up some time for us. I’ll be careful, I promise. This whole thing, the site, the forum, the FB, the massively neglected Twitter feed… it’s nothing without you and no-one knows that better than I do, believe moi. Stay tuned for further developments, folks.)

What is BLW, anyway? And what is it not..? »
I’m please to see you are doing something about the ads – about time ;o)
lol… i know, i know…
Putting some ads on is totally justified, I think. I’m thinking of setting up a Norwegian blog about BLW, and if by some freak accident it becomes a lot of work (nobody BLWs over here so it’s highly unlikely), I’m going AdSense!
Cool, thanks. Obv let’s link up when you get started.
Woo, that’s me. Wow, I never win anything. I’m rather over the moon! What do I need to do now? Xx
I bet you’re glad you checked! Send us yer address and Charlie will make the magic happen. (i am envious, have LITERALLY never won anything in my life.)
I’ll pm it. When I told dh I’d won a comp, he said ” yeah, I had a funny dream last night too.”
I don’t think I’ve won anything before either; certainly wasn’t expecting it when I checked. :-)
Hurray! Now send us yer address!
I’d rather have your websire with ads than not at all!!
thanks, really appreciate that…
