Hey, gang!
I know you all love some good blogging tips. Here’s one:
Just put the words SEX and FRESHLY PRESSED in the title, sit back and watch the stats soar!
Sure, you might attract the wrong kind of hits, but such is life in this crazy mixed-up bloggy shizz-bizz we all groove in, ya dig? (I have no idea what I just said.)
All of this sexy and Freshly Pressed excitement is due to one person; a certain Wordsmith/Bloggess Extraordinaire over at one of the funniest blogs on WordPress:
Peg-o-leg’s Ramblings. She is so good at the writing craft, (her own blog Freshly Pressed more times than I can count) I’m busting out semicolons to impress her; I don’t think I’m succeeding.
Peg is currently running a brilliant guest blogger series, a spin-off on Freshly Pressed, called THIS One Should Have Been Freshly Pressed. It spotlights those posts some of us thought were blog gold the FP Gods would smile down on–only to be cruelly ignored by the O Mighty Smiters of WordPress. Well, you guys can smote me no more, my post is now featured as Freshly Pegged!
My post was all about sex. Yeah, I actually wrote about my own personal, sometimes pathetic, always hilarious sexual experiences. I know. Why it wasn’t Freshly Pressed, I’ve no idea. (I suspect my husband bribed them.)
So click here —-> on Peg’s Freshly Pegged–She’s A Maineiac post and read “A Brief History of Sex (According to Me)” and leave a comment.Please, keep it PG-13 tops. Thanks! And I do believe I’ve broken a world record for mentioning the words Freshly Pressed the most times in one post.
And it was a fantastic, and definitely FP worthy post!
Thank you much, Jean! It was way too long and we know FP doesn’t like wordy stuff in general. Sigh.
It IS a fantastic post. Thanks so much for letting me bask in your reflected glory, at least for one day. You da bomb-diggidy-bomb, Darfranski!
Pegolegisciousness, no YOU are the bomb-diggidy-giggidy-doo. Thanks for coming up with such a brilliant idea. And we really do have an epic bloggy friendship. To think it all started at Greatsby’s caption contest! The one he totally abandoned. (shaking head) Well, I certainly hope your blog doesn’t attract TOO many freaky-deaky search engine terms although it’s inevitable.
How can something so basic be SO complicated? Theoretically, everything beyond “Insert Tab A into Slot B” should just be bonus, but instead that’s where it turns into advanced engineering.
Insert Tab A into Slot B–wasn’t that the original title for the Kama Sutra?
what’s sad is, the older you get, the harder even THAT is to accomplish. But I’m optimistic.
I personally think being Freshly Pegged is the greater honor (says the blogger who gave up on dreams of being Freshly Pressed ages ago–I’m not bitter). Heading over to read about sex now.
It is a much better honor, Lisa!
I still think Freshly Pressed sounds like a mammogram. Going to check out the epic post.
Haha! God, it does. And how. A boob pancake. Yeeouch.
I remember this one so well — and not simply because I just retread it over at Peg’s!
Congratulations on being Freshly PEGGED. A greater honor indeed!
I knew you’d remember it, you were there with me from the beginning.
Was that “reTread” a typo, or an editorial?
This is brilliant. On multiplie levels. The Maineic post, the sex in the title, the Freshly-Pegged. Awesome!
Thanks so much! Peg really is the cat’s pajamas.
the Sex post cracked me up too!
Thanks! It was one of those posts I almost didn’t want to publish. Glad I did.
Ah, I remember that post…it SO rocked! Congrats on being freshly pegged, very cool.
Aw, thanks, Lily. I feel like a rockstar today.
that’s was great—thanks for sharing and a good laugh for the morning!
I find that when it comes to sex, laughter saves you. Or ruins the moment.
Just read it. It’s hilarious and, thank goodness (and thanks to a renewed love affair with my college sweetheart after my divorce) it doesn’t apply to me at all!
ooh! Do tell! Sounds spectacular!! We are getting better with the sex now that our kids sleep through the night.
Let’s just say I never knew what all the hoopla about sex was until after I was divorced!
So what you’re really trying to say is the key to good sex is divorce. Hmm….I’ve heard similar statements.
Another brave post! So often, I think bloggers are afraid to broach this subject. And yet, we can all relate to trying to find our groove again after having kids. A few years back, a pastor from Florida issued a 30-day sex challenge to all married couples. My husband keeps asking me when I’ll be ready to play along?
haha! Nice! I bet he does. Sex is a subject that is on everyone’s mind yet no one wants to talk about it. The great thing is, eventually the kids do grow up and sex comes back.
I want to go to THAT church.
Sounds like a good time! I’m guessing after that sermon, church attendance dropped dramatically. Most of the couples were probably at home frantically working on the 30-day challenge!
Oh, gosh, I LOVED that sex post! Sex post? What the heck is that?! LOL! Congrats on being Freshly Pegged! Love it! XOXO-SWM
thank you! Sex is what you wished you were doing but you don’t remember because you’re asleep instead.
The sex post is that thing that strippers gyrate on at a “gentleman’s” club.
hahaha!
How do they even decide what deserves to be Freshly Pressed? The one of mine that they picked isn’t really one of my favorites. I don’t get it. Off to read about your sex life…
I was shocked with every one of mine that were FP’d. They seem to pick the ones you think are crappier.
It’s a weird system I guess. I wish they would explain it…
I remember this one! Definitely FP-worthy. Anything that crosses my personal “never talk about this topic online” boundary is worthy of accolades.
I still kinda regret writing it, Dana. But thanks for your vote of confidence!
Oh well, if you regret it a teensy bit, you might as well flaunt it. (That’s my new motto. Works for everything in life!)
It’s a wonder that humans have survived. If the cavemen and women had as much angst about sex as we did, it might not have happened. BTW – I think all of your posts are FP worthy – just saying.
I often think that too about the cavemen days. We might not have lasted so long as a human race otherwise.
Thanks for the FP comment, coming from you that truly made my day, Renee!
It is a great post, and I do think it should’ve been FP. Fresh Pegged is awesome!
Aw, thanks! Freshly Pegged is the highest honor.
I really believe that someday there will be an award named after you. Movies will still have the Oscar, television will have the Emmy, and blogging will have the Darla.
hahaha!! Oh god, Charles. You kill me. I am still laughing at this.
Freshly Pegged … that sounds like an award worthy of pursuing. Congrats. Love your humor, Darla.
Much better than Freshly Pressed. I would rather be freshly Pegged.
I completely agree. It was an honor.
