Comments on: ACP takes the fun out of food blogging http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/09/05/acp-takes-the-fun-out-of-food-blogging/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Who knows how they think! Thanks for your support :D Hi jo-I wonder how they draw the line between a library (where you can get the whole book or magazine for free) and blogs.

I've always been a fan of AWW and have been borrowing their magazines from the local library. I'm definitely going to return these over the week-end.

I've "arrived". Yay. :lol: Hi SydneyGal-You've pretty much expressed what I feel and my frustrating in a very eloquent and well thought out way! Funnily enough, when I go to an expensive restaurant, I often get less comments and traffic to those stories. Thankyou for that and thanks fro taking the trouble to tell them where you hear about them. The savvy ones will adopt the concept of bloggers. After all, aren't we just like their precious and sought after customers. Hehe I like your analogy with the teacup, very true. And yes sending us cookbooks to talk about would be a smart way to get your cookbook talked about. Yes I can't believe some of the attitudes towards websites, some people are so out of touch it's frightening! Hi Lilia-Wow, wow and wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to write your comment, it means a lot to me :) I think if anyone from ACP is reading this they'll realise just how passionate and supportive the food blogging community is. Also how passionate and into food people are and how hungry we are to read about a good place to eat or a good recipe to make and how food bloggers fit into the picture. We're not nuisances that steal copyright but rather people committed to finding good recipes and places to eat and spreading the word to anyone else that is interested (and there are so many just as passionate people that are). Thanks again Lilia :) Hi Teena-Yes it’s a dubious honour indeed. I’ve “arrived”. Yay. :lol:
