Pimp That Post!
Wed, 1/07/09 – 13:03 | 8 Comments

Which is what I’m doing right now:   pimping my most recent post for More.com….in which I whine about why I’m bad at pimping (my mama done brought me up right)–and why it’s crucial to this here internets thing.

The drill is this: go read the post (okay, you don’t have to read it; just look at it).  Click on the “I Like This” icon (you may have to sign up first but only the first time and honestly, you’ll be entered in a contest to win Michael Jackson’s sixth grandchild.)  Then comment….and send the link to your friends…  Because the more People Who Like my post, the–the–the ——- Whatever.

And then–no, we’re not done yet!–Digg it and Stumble it.  Those two are easy ’cause there’s links to them right on the post.

I thank you…..
