A Change In Format, By Popular Demand

In the time I’ve been running this blog, I’ve received a number of emails from readers. Some have been supportive, and some have offered constructive criticism. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of emails concerning my choice of topics. I thought I’d share some of those emails here so you have an idea of what I get in my inbox every day.

“Hi, Hunter. I’ve been reading your blog for a while, and it’s pretty nice. However, ‘nice’ doesn’t really do it for me. While I like reading about things like achieving your goals and having a positive attitude, what I’d really like to read about is hardcore S&M. If you could write more about that topic, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!”

Jeff in San Francisco writes:

“Dude this blog is way too G-rated. If I wanted all this goody two-shoes crap I’d go to Disneyland. Get with the times man! When I go online, I want something that will shock and titillate. If you don’t start adding some whips, chains, handcuffs, and leather, I’m outta here!”

While some people have said they liked my blog the way it was, the emails I’ve gotten lately have overwhelmingly been like the ones above. I want to pay attention to my readers’ needs, so effective immediately, this blog will be focused on sadomasochism.

I realize this will be an adjustment for some people, but change is what the Web 2.0 world is all about. I’m renaming the blog “Whips & Chains,” and using the tagline “Makin’ it hurt so good since 2006.” I have a temporary banner for now, but I’ll be getting one professionally made soon.

This blog is for the benefit of my readers, and I thank you for the opportunity to deliver what you’re looking for. Of course, you do realize what day this is, right?

    Man oh man….

    Hunter, I thought you were sharing a photo and story about your girlfriend. What a let down.

    I was wondering who was going to be the first to use this “day”. You get the award!

    Looks like I even fooled myself. I was just doing my taxes, where 2007 is the “current” year, but of course it’s 2008 in the real world. Since I started my blog last year, my tagline should have said 2007, not 2006. Oh well, joke’s on me!
