I read in The Guardian the other day that to get more visitors to your blog you don't need to put in a photo of yourself naked or tarted up to the nth degree. Apparently psychologists - isn't it amazing what they get up to and the trivia they deal in - have conducted studies which have proved conclusively that people who go onto FaceBook or or any sort of blog are intimidated by glamorous photos. Instead they prefer to see folk au naturel (well not quite but you know what I mean).
So, in the interests of determining whether this is completely falacious or utterly true I am posting three photos and monitoring the response I get.
The other thing they commented on was that having a large number of friends in a blogging community was not a sign of being popular but indicated that you were sad and needy. No worries on that score as so far I have only one true friend (much appreciated Zappy5971) and my own alter ego flutefantasia
I've also joined three groups pets, creative writing, and book club. Since joining no-one has responded to my comments. Should I be concerned?

Aha! you are well and truly an iconic blogger! Congratulations on your non-existent status, you rank right up there with the non-sad and non-needy!
I too have only 1 friend - in the Whole Real World!.. it truly is a Special Place to be.
