Many moons ago, Claire won a review of her site, A Little Piece of Me, and today is the day she gets to see it. Well, maybe she will, maybe she won't. It depends on whether she can get online! Read on, and you will understand what I mean by that semi-cryptic remark.

From the top down

The banner to Claire Pitt's blog is a clever mix of text and graphics, (why are Brits so innovative?) and once you take the time to look over every pixel, there is no doubt about what to expect of her.

It seems from the pictures that she lives in the north end of England where the countryside looks like a mix of grassed-over slag heaps, hazy moors and sunlit dales. It never rains and everyone walks everywhere. From the text, she is a carer studying counselling and has an infamous beaver affiliation which unfairly but obviously she has to deal with on a daily basis. (That is actually, one clever way to attract attention and gives her plenty of opportunities to feed off of snide remarks that inevitably arise whenever she mentions the b word. These bloody Brits are smart!)

More About Claire

Digging even deeper, she supports Everton, likes her rugby hard and fast, and enjoys drinking down the pub. When sober she also says she likes to cook. Would that be hearty English fare like chicken tikka masala and steak and kidney pies?

Anyway, this is a review of Claire's blog, not an analysis of her mind, so skipping over the cries for help after the stress of blogging without internet, and studying way too late (as well as late into the wee hours), let's look at the content.

Memes

Wordless Wednesday followed by Thursday Thirteen Saturday Photo Hunt and back to it on Manic Mondays that brutal routine has most of the week covered. But just for good measure, there are other sundry memes too with some pretty funny and amusing posts.

Random postings

So, memes plus Beavers to attend to at least once a week, (as well as supervising camps and first aid badge tests and toggle tying practice) what time can possibly be left to blog about anything else? Well, Claire seems to have the capacity not to sleep for several days at a time. It is the only explanation for how she has accumulated 31 Pay Per posts, 28 personal posts, and an exposé of her counseling studies.

And her blogging frenzy it isn't just concentrated on the classic written word. Claire has posted assorted photos (on any day other than Wednesday and Saturday), plus videos and even a poem, which I am reproducing without her permission!

" When i asked you to listen to me and you start
Giving me advice, you have
Not done what i asked.

When i ask you to listen to me and you begin
To tell me why I shouldn't feel that way, you are
Trampling on my feelings.


When i ask you to listen to me and you fell you have
To do something to solve my problems,
You have failed me, strange as that may seem.

LISTEN! All I asked was that you listen,
Not talk, or do- just hear me."

A good message for men especially?

In summary

Claire has a great sense of humor, and has a high level of literacy (she understood perfectly the meaning of Pisstakers without needing to look it up in a dictionary.) She even blogged about goings-on on this site and highlighted my dislike for pure and simple blogrolling as a means of link building. I think though that Claire has a better tactic than me, because she has loads of entries in her blog roll and has an Authority ranking in Technorati of well over 600, which makes her quite a big shot and me a minnow. So I bow to her blogging prowess.

I say that tongue-in-cheek, because let's face it, what sort of superstar Technorati (almost) A-lister blogs without internet?

So peruse her every post and delight in a couple of side bars to keep you occupied for hours. There are plenty of pieces of Claire to view.
