I will make the draw (and when I say ‘make the draw’ I say ‘run the random number software’, though I have to say it’d be easier if I had a number of entries that matched one of the multi-sided dice in the sitting room) for the free copy of The Maker’s Mask on Friday 8 October.
I have to say that WordPress’s anti-spam software is very efficient. It’s only picked up one thing that I’m not sure was spam (some kind of automated Twitter notification) and it hasn’t let any of the bots peddling weight loss scams or free German software through.
I am also endlessly amused by the feature that shows me what people have searched on on Google to get here. I am slightly boggled by the number of people getting here with ‘require ankaret’ – what do they require me for? – though I think that it’s entirely my own fault for coming up with a subtitle for my book that Google’s word-completion engine was going to turn into something else.
I think the most memorable search so far has been ‘late man face mask’, so, without further ado, here is a picture of a late man’s face mask.
You’re welcome.
Ankaret Wells 
I have typed ‘require ankaret’ into Google at least once – my fingers just went that way…
It is one of those things that I really should have thought of, but didn’t!
That feature amuses me too, I’ve had some very random things come up as leading to my ceramics blog!
Oh, I didn’t know you had a blog about your ceramics – where is it?

Oh, gorgeous! I love the raku mask and the decorative plaques in particular.
As an example ‘toadstools’ has led people there!
Thanks (gahh, this threading is annoying!)
I need to get around to redoing my stock page, I have stacks of pendants gathering dust around the place that I want rid of, so I’m going to offer free postage and pimp them around the internet.
On my now-dormant theology blog I had a post about the day I went to Amish country. One of the most regular search terms that brings people to the blog almost every day is ‘Hot Amish chicks’. I can’ help but feel that I am spreading disappointment all over the internet.
Hee! Evidently there are people on the Internet looking for porn of *everything*. If I’d known that earlier, I would not have entitled an earlier post ‘it’s twins’. 🙂
Though actually, mostly so far I’ve had people searching for clip art or asking technical questions about wells, which makes me feel a bit guilty that I’m being no help. There do also seem to be a lot of people who want PDFs of commercially published books that I’ve mentioned in passing, though.
