I think the big wow for the week has to be:

"How to make your own washable menstrual pads"

I don't think an article has hit the top ten so quickly since close the when the site started

And it is now top of the board with a staggering:

9168 impressions

I must admit to putting my cynics hat on and wondering if there is a unhappy explanation for this, but i don't really see one! So well done Nora

A lot of those people might be reading that thinking "Ewww!". That would be most of the blokes, I should think. But some of them will be reading that and thinking "Hang on a minute, this isn't so daft as the funky fabric*, there's something useful here...". So the extra hits for the article are clearly a good thing!

Now, all wee need to do is create a range of articles that get picked up in this way... Top ten phallic shaped wild foods, maybe...

*I liked the funky fabric, by the way

I wouldn't be too fussed about those comments. For pities sake, I got some really strange responses for picking cherries off a local tree at the weekend, how much odder are the responses to making your own sanitary towels going to be?

Again, it gets people clicking on the article, and I don't care if some of them do think the article is funny, those aren't people who were going to find their way here and make use of any of the articles anyway. Some others of those who find the link that way will find something interesting in the article.

So... If not phallic wild foods, maybe "Wild foods that are too disgusting to eat?"
