Palate Cleanser After All The Trial Posts -Anchorage Sunrise, Blog Mail

A little pink on a cloudy day.





















And just a glimpse into the email bloggers get, and to remind you not to trust what people post.

This one is particularly unappealing.  They didn't even put my name on it.  Not that my name would help persuade me.  I wonder if they've read my posts on cruise lines? Like New Pirates of the Seven Seas?  or How did Carnival Cruise Lines get US taxpayers to buy them a $28 million train depot?  Is it because I'm in Alaska?  Who knows?  And I'm not going to ask.

"Hello,
I was researching a campaign I’m working on for a luxury cruise line and came across your blog. I think you’d be a great fit and we’d really like to partner with you.
Do you offer sponsored posts that would mention or feature our client?
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Andrea"

So remember, any posts you see about cruise lines or really anything else, should be taken with a grain of salt.  Bloggers get these sorts of requests all the time.  It's a way to pick up a little extra cash here and there.  But rest assured.  in 12 years of blogging I think I have maybe 3 or 4 guest posts.   Two from friends who had something interesting to say and I asked them to write a post, and one from a veteran who had something to say that I thought was worth sharing.

Enjoy your Friday as the jury works through all the allegations and exhibits to figure out if Anthony Henry was wrongfully terminated.
