WordPress, you’re a pile of shite. Where’s my 400 followers badge? I’m waiting for it, checking every morning, looking forward to seeing it BUT IT ISN’T THERE and now I’m up to 416 followers and it still hasn’t arrived in the little drop-down notification fuck-box at the top of the page. WHY CAN’T I HAVE IT? Why won’t you give it to me so I can do my 400 followers showing-off post? I can’t do my 400 followers showing-off post without it in case everyone thinks I’m telling fibs when I’m NOT.
Is it because you think that when a blog reaches 400 followers the blog writer doesn’t give a shite about getting a badge? Well we DO give a shite about getting a badge, just the same as when we reach 100 followers – a badge is a badge AND I WANT MINE.
You’re a set of tossers who don’t know how to do your jobs properly. How do you think BLUE PETER survived all these years? BY GIVING OUT THEIR BLUE PETER BADGE, that’s how. And what about the Queen? If a hero gets a badge for saving lives, and then he goes on to save MORE LIVES she doesn’t NOT give him a badge, does she, she gives him ANOTHER BADGE.
I’ve made my own fucking badge. Stick that up your WordPress and smoke it.

Unfortunately, due to the current “Double-Dip” Recession, we have had to make unforeseen cutbacks. We no longer issue badges until you have 1000 followers. We’re sorry for any inconvenience. However, Roz in the office has an old Blue Peter badge if that would do instead?
Love,

No, it won’t do instead. I want my badge and I won’t go away until I get it.

You could have one (or all) of my awards while you make your mind up. There’s the Dotty Headbanger Award For Being Mental & Loving It, or The Three Red Bins Of Blogging, or The Brick & Sausage Award For Excellence.

Wow!!!
That’s so awesome!!
Here’s what I’ve noticed:
Unless the follower is a fellow WP BLOGGER …
it’s kind of lik WP doesn’t count em.
They do on the stats page…but no where else.
Idk? ?
Love,

/ July 9, 2012Dear Lisa,
I’ve only got 7 separate email followers. I got a badge for 300 but it didn’t include email followers, it arrived when it had passed that mark, but it hasn’t this time. Probably because they’re pissing about with the stats pages.

You only have 400 followers? How could anyone NOT be following you? I thought you had at least a bazillion. Huh.

Thank you. It’s 418 now.
I don’t think WordPress realise that people get just as pleased and excited as when they reached 100 – it amazes me that so many people have read my shite (even if some aren’t around any more, they’ve still been here at one point).

I bet you’re right. I was just saying to Judith in the reply to her comment, I still love it when I reach a milestone – and I still can’t quite believe it either.
