Attention ‘Who Is’ … I’m A ‘Trotter’ – Not A ‘Rotter!’ (Persnickety Friday)
Author: Deb Trotter
DEB TROTTER ... Or ... Debt Rotter?
Attention, please (I say, with a smirk on my face).
I’d like to make it clear to ‘Who Is’ and whatever computer program they are using to ‘read’ my Domain Name – I am NOT rotting in debt.
In short, my Domain Name should be recognized as www.deb trotter.com instead of www.debt rotter.com
You caught me, pardner. I am one ‘rotting’ Cowgirl.
I said rotting … NOT rotten.
While checking my kStats the last few days, I notice that search engines are directing people to ME as they surf the net for ‘dead people.’
This discovery makes me crazier than an old wet hen (’specially considering the fact that I requested my domain info not be made public.)
Boy. Am I learning a lot now that I’m a member of Wordpress.
Apparently, I’m a real Tenderfoot when it comes to what I THOUGHT was ‘private’ domain info …
If this ‘lesson learned’ doesn’t deserve a post on ©Persnickety Friday, I don’t know what does.
So I figure – why not have fun with it all in the form of some digital art and beat the ‘dead people’ thing at its own game?
This little ditty is my pun on what a Debt Rotter (which I am NOT) might look like.
(Thank you, Photoshop, for those cool masking & eraser tools!)
Even thought I got a kick out of creating this piece, I remain Persnickety and prefer that you remember me as Deb Trotter – NOT as a ‘Digital Artist Rotting in Debt.’
