I feel you on the blog hits- my biggest problem is a total lack of comments. I see that I get hits, but there must be something in my writing style (or lack thereof) that makes people NOT want to post any comments. Isn't it strange how a hobby can bring on insecurity?!?! I just have to remind myself that I am doing it for the love of it, nothing more. But the occasional comment is nice eh?;)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00201875180006647900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1145025967251228522006-04-15T00:46:00.000+10:002006-04-15T00:46:00.000+10:00hi cathy, i think it's because they are chiffon ca...hi cathy, i think it's because they are chiffon cakes that they came out so straight. i used a regular muffin pan and liners and filled the cups about 3/4ths of the way full. the cakes puffed a bit, but not particularly much.santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1144977736709984512006-04-14T11:22:00.000+10:002006-04-14T11:22:00.000+10:00i can annoy you lot, can't i?You can try - not sur...<I>i can annoy you lot, can't i?</I><BR/><BR/>You can try - not sure how you'll do though!<BR/><BR/>Love the photo - I have a question about your cupcakes - I really like the straight up and down sides with the baking cup hardly expanded at all - how'd you do that (what did you bake them in)?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1144975134551851752006-04-14T10:38:00.000+10:002006-04-14T10:38:00.000+10:00hi everyone! thanks for all the lovely comments. i...hi everyone! thanks for all the lovely comments. i really was worried last week, as at first i lost something like 15% of hits everyday for a week, but i seem to be holding steady at a 10% decline everday, lol. i know that i'm not losing regular or even irregular readers, but it's still alarming to see, you know what i mean? <BR/><BR/>i think sam, rakka, and vanessa are definitely right. it's not going to change my blog style or focus any. although i feel rather freed by it, actually. i might actually do some things i normally wouldn't for fear of annoying readers. <BR/><BR/>i can annoy you lot, can't i? ;)santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1144963866412364292006-04-14T07:31:00.000+10:002006-04-14T07:31:00.000+10:00Ok, ok..i'll come out of hiding too.
