How to alienate your constituents 101

I'm not real sure who they have calling the shots at Pajamas Media and haven't blogged about it much. Sure I started up Pajamas Mediocrity and since I haven't said it publicly, I really do hope the Pajamahadines make a go of it and become a profitable well run organization that doesn't have to repeatedly learn by making mistakes. So far though its been about like watching four monkeys trying to gangbang a greased football.

To date I've been perfectly happy watching them shoot themselves in the foot, laughing, quietly most of the time, as they've made blunder after blunder. The latest bit of proof that they don't have the slightest bit of business acumen, much less an understanding of human nature and most definitely bloggers is by setting up the twenty-two links they've dubbed as PJ Bloggers. The rest of the seventy some odd "PJ Network Blogs" are pushed into obscurity since their links aren't available from the main page.

Maybe one of the PJ Coders could change the Network Blog link to a drop down menu, that'd help; at least the PJ Readers wouldn't have to wait for a second page to load to access the blogroll. Maybe one of the PJ Highups could authorize a twenty dollar subscription to Blogrolling so they could display the twenty-two most recently updated sites, that'd be a whole lot more beneficial.

I'll also extend the offer for them to use the Penguin from Pajamas Mediocrity, for a small fee of course, 'cause the Pajamas Media logo sucks, at least their latest version doesn't look like a bathrobe.

Update: The Pajama Gnomes have dropped the "Network Blogs" label, now everybody's a PJ Blogger. I guess if all four monkeys paw at the football long enough the grease'll wear off and one of them is bound to get a decent grip.

Update #2: The logo is still damned ugly.

I'm still puzzled why anyone would pick that name and logo to begin with.
