Blog interrogation: Renal failure

renal-failure-blog


Welcome Renal to Blog Interrogation. Let's hope your machine keeps you alive long enough to complete these 5 questions.


spotlight
The hardest question first. What is the name of your website, and can you pick one feature or story to illustrate the flavor of the site to newcomers?

My blog is called Renal Failure. It is the blog of Wild Fabrications and Outright Lies. To illustrate this, many posts are about my friend Bernie the Half-Cyborg Cat, Ninja Vicki, and crippled superheroine Crimson Paraplegic. And we drink a lot.

This is a killer question if you are a perfectionist. In the history of the site, if there were one thing you could change, or one decision you could reverse, what would it be?

If I had to redo one decision for Renal Failure, I probably would have brought it to Wordpress sooner. Renal Failure started as a personal writing experiment, and after a year I finally brought it to a proper blogging platform for more eyes to see. But all of that's up there too. So technically I started a new blog this January with a year's worth of material already on it.

Would you ever consider changing the name of your site to reflect the passing of time? For instance, after reading The Onion, I compared the first posts with the latest, & the name Has Bean sprang to mind. What do you think in your case?

I would not consider changing the name. I figure if you're going to name something, it'd better be built to last. I only wish parents took this lesson to heart. It would save a lot of years of pain in school.

Back on track, how many has beens, I mean, writers, does it take to create your site? And how much do they earn per hour?!

Renal Failure, much like such great works as Mein Kampf and the Unabomber Manifesto, is written by one person. Except I don't have facial hair and I dress better.

Finally, if you could get an article published on any website on earth, other than your own, which would it be, and why?


www.barackobama.com - Can you imagine the amount of female tail I could get with a Renal Failure posting on Barack Obama's official site? Four. That's how much.

Ed extracts the bones from the blog interrogation


Thanks, Renal for an exhilarating trip through your off-beat world. If it is any consolation I salute you on the naming of your characters. Marvel should know where to look for ideas for the next big freak show cinematic shoot out.

I was wondering whether to take the piss or console you on your decision to go to wordpress. Did you not think to go to wordpress and host it with your own domain name, cause that is the next obvious step I would have taken to get from what you had before to where you might want to go for blogging nirvana. Are you going to be able to entrust that next major transition to half cyborg paraplegic helpers, or is the idea to have a quick upload and have your material in triplicate online?

I love your choice of favorite site to get published on. It has a strange symmetry with the previous answer involving Adolf and other lovely beings of our time.

For anyone in two minds about reading the Renal Failure blog, just do it. It is really funny, and dry. Anonymous Doug getting annoyed that nobody remembered to call him. Brilliant. And the side bar is really clever and made me laugh out loud. I do hope that when, or if I suffer with my renals, that I can still laugh at some of the headings. Good luck and your blog is one to
bookmark and watch for sure.

So, who is next up? The truth be told Renal barged ahead of the queue in his excitement to be highlighted here. But tomorrow, really, really, the delightful Denise reveals her need for traffic and recognition. Let's see what we can do, folks..

This could be you under interrogation later in the week. Please don't think your blog is too serious or too trivial to provide the answers to the 5 questions. Everyone has a story to tell and the interrogation is a good measure of your understanding of your blog. You get backlinks amidst real content and you can be as whacky as you like for good measure too.
