"If you google "Best Luxury B&B Dartmoor", Wydemeet always comes up first!" I show off to anybody who will listen. Ahem. Apparently not. At a Mum's lunch last week, Meg, who manages 72 websites, so knows her stuff despite being nearly as old as me, told me that it's just the cookies or spiders or something, which are so used to me looking myself up that they've positioned Wydemeet top of my search engines, but not necessarily those of other people. The blog is the answer to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), she said, so here I am, back again with more drivel. I also have a headache from trying to relearn Facebook and Tweeting, and get going on WordPress blogging, because it's time to relaunch myself as an aspiring successful author. I have been writing to all the agents I can find who might be relevant to getting my Surviving Solo trilogy of books: 'Darebnb'; 'Back On the Shelf'; and 'Moving On by Staying Still' published. One of them has taken the trouble to reply, saying I must get a following on a Blog, and 21 reviews on Amazon, before even trying to flog a book. Agh! Next week I have been invited to speak at a 'Meet the Author' evening of the Exeter Pi Society's Book Group, so it would appear to be the time to consolidate all my efforts around this event. The whole thing is doing my head in, but I am a Virgo (it's my 59th birthday on Saturday!), so I will persevere until it's done.
