LUNGLORD
The blog I need help with is lunglord.com.
Please stop posting all in capitals - it's making my ears hurt.
Aaaaaagh! Stop SHOUTING! No need for the capitals, we're not all blind as bats.
THEY DONT CALL HIM THE LUNG LORD FOR NOTHING YOU NOW
EH? SPEAK UP! :)
IS YOUR BOOK IN ALL CAPS TOO? IN COMIC SANS?
When someone in cyberspace is TYPING AN ENTIRE SENTENCE OR PARAGRAPH IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, that person is SHOUTING. It is not proper netiquette to TYPE IN ALL CAPS and it makes whatever you typed very difficult for others to read.
WHAT???
And you would just have to find out by looking at popular websites. that's the only way.
thank you al fur the same crticsm- that n my haste I just typed nd ntered wen i should hve throughly and prrecisely proofed mi text furst for errorrrs beford subbmiting.

It is guud to know peeepole thgat though they correct u they also go a head and help you two.
It only works as parody if we have reason to believe it's not your house style.
Dear Lunglord,
Your site is making my eyes hurt. White text on a black background is impossible to read. Please change if you hope to get any traffic at all to your site.
Sincerely,
Sara
Ps! If my posts have any typos, it's because I'm still struggling to see clearly.
Still sincerely (I think),
Sara
Pps! Too bad you're not an opthalmologist. I may need one.
OK mate you want a serious answer -
You say your site is vivid ICU fiction and you want browser mis-spellings to to arrive at your site?
So you want people who have real medical problems and who may be searching for help and reassurance, and who may mis-spell a word, to end up looking at something horrible and fictitious on your site instead?
And you want help and suggestions on how to achieve this?
Serious Answer - NO.
D'you know, it's just clicked (no pun intended) what thus guy us asking. The arrogance is mind boggling. Where are his medical qualifications? Hmm, I think NOT.
@dovesgold. Well said. I can remember when I was desperately seeking reassurance on the net when I had malignant melanoma. Some sites were awful and not reassuring OR helpful at all. It was to say the least utterly devastating.
I apologized in my first reply post and added a little humor to it.
Your legion of answers were tantamount to saying,"how dare he say anything in reply."
Again, I apologize for making errors in capitalization.
Have an administrator discontinue this question if you like or continue to disparage me as you wish. Consider the following though. Any of you could have pointed out to me how to revise my cap errors or tell me how to take it down and resubmit. But did you? How often do I come here for a question? Maybe every three months. So I made a mistake and dont know how to amend it because I am not fluent.
But as for you? It is always easier to be bellicose, offended and critical, about something as tiny as caps lock rather than to be empathetic about someone trying to learn something. This attitude is a national disease.
What I am asking was for someone to tell me how I can get domain mapping to link misspelled web addresses to my web site so that if they are doing a medically oriented search and by mistake come to my wordpress site- well publicity is publicity-there is a traffic and a one in five hundred chance they might buy something.
Again, I am sorry to give to great offense.

Funny, you don't sound sorry.
You came here to ask how to initiate a spam program. You asked in ALL CAPS, with excruciating punctuation and grammar errrors, identifying yourself as an author.
Yes, we can answer the question. No, we prefer not to. You say It is always easier to be bellicose, offended and critical, about something as tiny as caps lock rather than to be empathetic about someone trying to learn something. This attitude is a national disease.
I'm not a diagnostician, but I can say this is symptomatic of a disease: the disease of arrogance. For one thing, I believe I can identify at least four separate countries represented in the replies here. For another, it's actually more challenging to be humorously insulting than it is to be thoughtlessly ungrammatical.
Have an administrator discontinue this question if you like or continue to disparage me as you wish.
I'll take Door Number Two.
This is the third time I apologize for offending your rules. What new insult do I earn from your cruel man?
I don't own any cruel men, although I did make a pass at Steve Jobs once.
We have got off on the wrong foot. I have no jousts for you. No insults. I have seen too many deaths and suffered too much affliction myself. I have decided that I would rather be loved than right, rather find common ground than find ever smaller reasons to be divided from people. This has been hard won ground for me. Gratitude is the only response I know without pride. I live there. I am selling expectation and buying wonder. I have peace and I will not give it up for anyone. I feel you are younger than me and in my youth alot like me. Karma wheels cannot be avoided. Personal experience. I would make a friend of you if I can. If you send me an address, I will send you a book and then you can decide for yourself if I am what you are sure that I am. What if you are surprised by what I write when I concentrate? What if there are salients for you? I am busy. So are you. If it is not of interest or you dont have the time then let us just part ways. No harm no foul. These million things I have to do besides write back you can wait. If you read the book and you like it, then, maybe we might have a conversation. Who can say that we wouldn't be friends. Write. Frank Little [email redacted]
If you'd like to apologize, you can always say, "I'm sorry." I don't see those words in any of your so-called apologies.
I apologize.
