I work very hard on my blog, and why would I want to do that? Give them the fruits of my labor? I get that "can I write a guest post" too, they want to link back to something they are selling. Sometimes I do it, if it has benefit to my readers, or is for something I believe in. <br /><br />I have an entire page of the blog that discusses what I will promote and what I won't but do they read it? No.... if it has anything to do with "awareness" or they are giving "proceeds to breast cancer charities" then absolutely not. <br /><br />I got one today that was so egregious that I AM going to blog about it - and those people are not going to be happy.<br /><br />I'll look forward to your post.Ann aka ButDoctorIHatePinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952736107114454660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318756985870843725.post-49588250390886884082011-07-11T12:52:44.203-04:002011-07-11T12:52:44.203-04:00Oh, I can relate!

BC bloggers help us BC 'sistahs' to navigate a medical nightmare while also realizing we're by no means alone. I also know that writing about the ins and outs and ups and downs of breast cancer helps educate people. And that's an awesome thing. Thank *you* for providing a bridge out of the BC abyss.Rennhttp://thebigcandme.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
