Would you like to see who’s on the Mona Lisa Million every day?
Of course you would. That’s why we’re doing this!
I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner, as it was always part of the plan.
There’s more below the image so be sure to scroll down AFTER you’ve had a good look over the image (and if you’re viewing this in a reader or via email you’ll need to click through to see the Mona Lisa and all the links).
Please wait for the image to load.
When did you last call your granny?
You’re a good grandson or granddaughter so you phone your lovely granny every couple of days just to say a quick hello. But for whatever reason you haven’t phoned grandma for a couple of weeks now and you feel guilty about it.
You can’t quite summon the will power to get on the phone because you know you’ve left it too long. So you leave it another week rather than face the trauma of making the call. Trouble is, the guilt just gets worse and now it’s becoming awkward. So you leave it another week and not only is it awkward, it’s now embarrassing!
It’s a feeling I know all too well, not just because of my gran but also because of you!
It’s not you; It’s me.
When each of you expressed an interest in this project I sent you an email with a list of options and waited for a reply. Unfortunately I managed to get the flu and was sidelined for a few weeks. I lost some impetus and failed to follow up on any of those emails.
It’s a shame I didn’t because I’ve missed an opportunity to engage the people who were good enough to show an interest in the first place.
Over the next few days I’m going to write to you all again and invite you back. I’d dearly love to see you participate in the project and get some real value from it.
I suspect that many of you were scared off at the prospect of writing a promotional text about your site. I understand that, because not everyone is comfortable with self promotion!
From this point, if the only thing you want is the link on the Mona Lisa, then that’s fine by me.
New Feature – The Re-Auction
My main priority today is to get the auctions set up for the sidebar advertising. If you missed the post it’s called the “Re-Auction” because I’m going to re-auction your sidebar advertising spot every month. Should be fun! ![]()
Can you help?
I need your help!
I need your help to get this site under the eyes of more people, and cutting to the chase, it’s a numbers game. Where you see a number… please try to increase it, whether that be the RSS or Email subscriber numbers, or the Digg, Stumble or Twitter numbers you see around the site.
Any help you can give is appreciated.
Thank you
Thanks for reading today and please feel free to say hello in the comments section, even if it has been a few weeks.

Let me be the first to say hello.
Hello!
Now don’t go and leave me alone here. You don’t want to see a grown man cry. Do you?
I’m only kidding, but wherever you are and whatever you’re doing I hope you have a great day.
Take care,
Dave

Hahaha! You crack me up Lance.
No, no. This is totally my fault. I got stuck in the idea that the promotional texts were going to be a big part of my content and failed to take into account that some people probably wouldn’t be interested in that. Now though… I see the error of my ways!
No need for the kleenex, but if you’d taken any longer to get here, it would have been a different story. You saved me from an embarrassing episode! Which of course means… You’re AWESOME!

Strawberry! I’ve noticed you’ve been hard at work on my behalf and I thank you for it.
It feels a bit weird asking for Tweets and Stumbles, but I suppose if you don’t ask, you don’t?
BTW You are totally fabulous!
I still dont completely understand the concept about what u exactly want ?
