Battle of the Blogs

You realise that just by reading this you are joining Naylor's army. We are on a crusade to capture readers. Not particularly loads of readers, just more than Tim Relf gets on his Field Day blog or "CatChat" as I now intend to call it (please, whatever you do, do not click that link)

I thought that I was happy for this blog to be a hidden gem in FWi's crown - to be a bit like the John Peel of the farming world. But seeing those reader figures for "CatChat" changed my mind. Four. Times. More. Tim must have an enormous family. Has he trained his cats to use a laptop or something?

So I'm afraid until next month's figures are released, you've got to choose. You can't read this blog and "CatChat" (I repeat please, under no circumstances should you click that link)

If you do find yourself on "CatChat", obviously by some horrible mistake, then the only way that you can make good and regain your credibility is to read this blog three extra times and on a different computer each time.

So let's lay down the ground rules for the contest. By the end of the month the person with the greatest increase in readers will be deemed the champion. To show you how confident I am about our victory, if I lose I will be quite prepared to allow Tim to stick the most mawkish picture of an animal doing a human thing on this site. Regular readers will know the pain that this would cause me (don't worry, it's not going to happen) If, however, we win, then I suggest that Tim be banned from using a photo of an animal on "CatChat" for 7, that's right count them, seven days.

Good Luck, Cat Man
