		<description>PMW,

I know you are baiting me here to come up with an acronym for Tommy and I am p155ing myself laughing even as I type. Yeah, I could have said PMSL. I know.

Anyway, what about 2QP? - bearing in mind that Tommy sometimes wears a kilt. Hint: Think McDonald rather than McLaughlin. Oh, you will get it, I&#039;m sure.

&lt;i&gt;Bright light city gonna set my soul,
Gonna set my soul on fire...
... Viva, Viva Las Vegas!&lt;/i&gt;

TGM

PS: I am REALLY liking this new look to your website! Very purple. Very you! Could do with a few sparkly bits though...</description>

		<description>Hey everyone,

&lt;b&gt;KWA&lt;/b&gt; - nice!  I think we&#039;re all going to have our own acronyms.  I like Keyword Angel, that has a nice ring to it.  And yes, I do like gingerbread, so I&#039;ll be sure to distract TGM &amp; try one of your biscuits when he isn&#039;t looking!

The main site will become a lot more dynamic and fresh, as that&#039;s where I&#039;ll be promoting various things.  Just need to finish creating them first!  Don&#039;t worry, I&#039;ll be pestering everyone to visit once I&#039;ve added more content.

&lt;b&gt;Tommy&lt;/b&gt; - now, I&#039;ve been thinking about this...it seems all the others are 3 letters long, so you could be SPO or SPM (Scot&#039;s Porridge Oats or Scot&#039;s Porridge Model) - I couldn&#039;t resist that!  Or you could be TMc, (er, your name, kind of) or KLS (Kilt-Loving Scot), or SWS (Sporran-Wearing Scot)...I guess these should remain reasonably clean?  Might have to ask TGM to come up with a name for you!  I shall continue to give it some thought.

&lt;b&gt;Lizzie&lt;/b&gt; - hey, new ipod - check you out!  I&#039;ve just got a new mobile that&#039;s touchscreen and I know what you mean about the whole typing thing. 

If you need help, then the best person I could suggest you speak to would be Tommy (comment above yours) - he&#039;s doing a whole Blog Setup guide with tutorials and videos, and has been more than helpful to me.  Pop over to his blog and leave him a message, I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll be able to to advise you!

....................................

One month until Vegas today!  Woohoo!  

&lt;b&gt;PMW&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Nikki,
I have it on good authority that TGM will be doling out the cookies I send to Vegas. Hope you like gingerbread.

Lizzie, don&#039;t worry about stating the obvious . . . we&#039;re all responsible for how we react to things. We know you didn&#039;t mean to offend anyone.

I&#039;m looking forward to what you put on your main site before you get to the blog. Forgot what that&#039;s called. (The memory tends to wander when you get older . . . yes, I&#039;m right up there with TGM in the age department, lol).

Talk with you later,
KWA (that stands for Keyword Angel)</description>

		<description>Evening everyone, I&#039;ve decided to make a break for it and type a reply before my laptop overheats again.  

Had a most random weekend; had 3 strange men in my flat on Sat!  No, nowhere near as exciting as that could be sadly.  My landlord (ok, so he&#039;s not a stranger), an emergency electrician (not my fault!), and then a policeman as one of the people in the flats upstairs was found dead in their flat.  All a bit random!

So I had to indulge in a little retail therapy to soothe me...yes, that does work!

Anyway - replies....

...............................................

&lt;b&gt;Renee&lt;/b&gt; - Good to see you over here!  How have you been?  I haven&#039;t been my usual butterfly self recently, I shall have to rectify that.  Thank you for the compliment on the blog redesign - all courtesy of the Meat King (my brother).  I shall fly on over to your 
blog soon to spread my purple randomness.

&lt;b&gt;Lizzie&lt;/b&gt; - don&#039;t worry!

&lt;b&gt;Nigel&lt;/b&gt;, haven&#039;t seen you over here for a while.  How are things with you?  Any more Alex Jeffreys Dance videos?  You said &quot;...refreshing &amp; inviting...&quot; - I like that as a description (of me as well as the blog!).  Regarding your comments on perfection, I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t have time for perfection!  There are just too many other deliciously wicked ways of spending my time...

&lt;b&gt;Lizzie&lt;/b&gt; - honestly, don&#039;t worry!

&lt;b&gt;PMW&lt;/b&gt; - oh, ok, maybe answering to my own comment is taking things a little bit too far...

&lt;b&gt;Denis&lt;/b&gt; - shades are of course optional!  However, the Purple Room is still all chilled and relaxing.  You know, the one behind the curtain...

Ah yes, I have a home page now that is in desperate need of some updates!  I shall be advertising my forthcoming book on there shortly...as well as other things I feel the need to promote / highlight.

Cool new look to your Portal by the way, it&#039;s good to know that things have calmed down over there...!

&lt;b&gt;Michael&lt;/b&gt; - thank you, yes, I had a very good long birthday weekend.  I managed to extend the celebrations for almost 2 weeks which I thought was pretty good going!

Oh dear, no, you aren&#039;t going to see me on video for a while!  Although come to think of it, it isn&#039;t that long until Las Vegas, and I think a few people have threatened to take their video cameras.  So I may get more exposure than I had first intended!  I don&#039;t own one, so you won&#039;t see any self-shot videos - well, unless I can convert 
whatever format my mobile phone uses...

As for &quot;start teaching people what you know&quot; - what, how to be obsessed with purple sparkly things?  How to drink more tea than people thought was previously possible?  Ok, so I&#039;m being slightly daft.  I don&#039;t feel that I know enough to be able to offer anything constructive on video.  Well, that of course depends what we are talking about...but that&#039;s a whole different kind of discussion!

On that note, I think it&#039;s time I moved on before I completely corrupt this conversation!

...............................................

Back to work tomorrow - start of a new week!  For now, my bed is calling me...

&lt;b&gt;The Purple Minxy Witch&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Nix, I really hope your b-day was a special day for you.  Thanks for checking out my site and letting me know about my errors.  I love your purple site and it is your brand.  You are definitely getting your brand out there as the Minxy Witch and your Lair of Temptation.

I&#039;m still waiting for the videos, so get it going will ya!  It might have to do with the fact that I&#039;ve seen your new Twitter photo and all I gotta say is &quot;Wow&quot;  Just get that beauty on video and start teaching people what you know.

Even ask questions and you will get tons of responses.  I guess I&#039;m just going to have to bring a video camera to Vegas and interview you.  Then I&#039;ll put it online so you can see what I&#039;m talking about.  Don&#039;t be afraid, just do it.

If you bring a camcorder to Vegas, just interview all those who you have blog relationships with and you will have awesome content for your site.  Plus you can give it away for free and get a lot of signups to your list.  The possibilities are endless your Highness and look forward to seeing you and the others there.  

The plugins issue is hard to deal with.  I have the same problem with adding audio to my theme.  Go figure.
