I empathise with Glenn. Sometimes copywriters get so wrapped up in writing copy for other people’s website that they don’t get the time to properly consider their own. I wonder if web designers experience the same irony?

In reply to Glenn Murray. Thanks for your comment, Glenn! I can relate to "banging it out in a hurry" as I did the same. It's an occupational hazard to focus on our clients' stuff and forget our own. :)

Hey, you’re a great copywriter! I bet what you banged out in a hurry was better than most other sites out there. :)

Still, I totally understand. It’s easy for me to prioritize client work. My own site…well, not so much sometimes.

Great to see you here! Thanks for your note – I’ll have to check out your new and improved site!

Ha! I was just discussing this with @Kimota. I’m a copywriter, and until recently, my own web copy was terrible. I have a vague memory of banging it out in a hurry about 5 years ago. More for SEO than anything else. It wasn’t until I updated my website recently (it’s now AWESOME!!!) that I read my copy and realized how bad it was!
