Pioneer Woman timing awry

UH . . . I wrote this a year ago. Obviously the new site is slick and nice and professional and successful . . . and you’re probably here because she won the Blog of the Year.  I like the pictures of the ranch and  I am partial to her older daughter, but I don’t cook or do more than point and shoot with photography. And I don’t homeschool. I wish I could ride well, but then so does she . . . so we have that in common.

The Pioneer Woman did two things just recently: She won the Best Written Bloggie Award ; she put her site in maintenance mode. This does not make sense to me. I would anticipate people unaware of her site clicking over because they have seen her url while skimming though a short article on the Bloggies.  When they tried to take a look, a maintenance page popped up – been there about three days now.

I don’t think she has a problem with having people visiting her site and clicking on the ads, sending in for her photos. I imagine “the pioneer woman.com” will be almost a brand name. But get recognition and then shut down for a bit – I don’t think so.

Well, things happen and there’s never a good time for things to go wrong or take longer than usual. Still, I think there was a better time to schedule the “changing event” because you know  . . . things happen, things go wrong, things take longer than usual.
