Yetzirah

Few of my regular readers will be unaware that the Sepher Yetzirah, or Book of Formation, is perhaps the oldest Rabbinical treatise of Kabalistic philosophy which is still extant.

Yetzirah is also the pen-name of a nice lady who used to write for The Weblog Review, a site (now defunct) which will examine your blog and tell you what their experts think of it. I asked them for an opinion on Other Men's Flowers and two reviews of it appeared on their site.

Modesty forbids me to quote here what Yetzirah wrote; "I loved it, every minute" gives you the flavour. And she gave me the highest possible rating.
Another reviewer described my blog in less warm but still quite pleasing terms. After comments along the lines of "...eloquent ...interesting ...laugh out loud witty" he gave it a very low mark indeed. He had taken it rather seriously and decided he didn't like it much because "contrived comments suggested fraud" (Fraud? Really? You can go to prison for that) and "the vast majority of posts are off topic and trivially nondescript"; I liked that last bit: it's EXACTLY what I aim for in all my writing.
