I apologize for the lack of substantive posting today, but I have thrown my back out and I don't feel very well. Anyway, I thought it would be a good time to announce that WASP 101 will now accept advertising columns. We receive between 1,500 and 2,000 hits a day and average over 1,500 a week. If you are interested please send me an e-mail for pricing. I hope to be back Thursday with a exhilarating post.

Hmmm, 31 years old with no kids and a desk job - yet you "throw out your back" and ail several times a month. Take some vitamins man...such a frail creature.
Richard,
First congrats, on your stats. Though this is your blog and you can do what you will with it, I worry about the advertising aspect. Not that I am saying don’t do it, but will you exclude some advertisements? I only ask because I’m afraid that it will cheapen your blog. In all, it is a good idea some have made millions from this sort of thing. Just last year I read about a young teenage drop out who did the same and became a millionaire.
Again, I say go for it, but be careful you may bite off more then your readership can chew.
P.S. Sorry to hear about the back, but you are resilient and can handle it.

I am responding to your post about whether the earlier adaptations of literature to the screen seem too wooden. They are wooden, but they don't ignore the class issues that are essential underlying themes to their stories. Take BBC/PBS's 2008adaptations of the Jane Austen novels, the recent Brideshead Revisited, Mira Nair's Vanity Fair, and Ang Lee's Pride and Prejudice: they all focus more on the costuming than faithful storytelling. So even if they are wooden, to someone who loves reading classics, the old BBC and PBS miniseries are more faithful to the original texts than are the new adaptations.
This focus on appearance rather than substance in the film and television adaptations seems to be only one example of Western society's ability to perceive just about everything on only a very superficial level. I can think of many others.

Unless you lift the ban on postings, there is not much reason to bother visiting your blog which is as much an entertainment of snark as any sort of cultural undertaking. If your feelings are sensitive you should reconsider your topic and self-promotion rather than kill the very engine of your blogs popularity and indulge micro-management and message control with the diligence and purpose of a soviet propagandist.
Go to your doctor and get some pain meds. Go to bed and rest it. Be careful with the back. Trust me, I know, I should have listened years ago to my doctor.
first you need to understand what a "hit" is with regards to web traffic. you'll then likely want to adjust your ad rates
Boy, this "non-such" is a first class wanker. It's hilarious how he basically says "I hate this blog, so stop moderating the comments so that I can actually tell you how much I hate it."
Poor pathetic creature.
