Y'alright?

Got a mention in the Irish Times

Lately I’ve been mentioning that this site might have been getting a little exposure over the next while.

Fortunately, that came to pass last Tuesday.

A journalist from the Irish Times (Ireland’s best paper, none of that tabloid rubbish!) contacted me around the start of April, and got me to review a couple of Leaving Cert websites. It was this very website that enabled her to find and contact me.

Last Tuesday, April 22nd, my work appeared in the paper along with some pieces from Aaron Donohoe, or Madringo as some may know him, and the crew at Leaving-Cert. Congrats to them too :)

It was nice seeing my name in print in that paper, along with a mention of this blog. That small link to this site even got me a few extra hits that day, so I was definitely happy to have done it (The link given was actually Walsho.com, but thankfully I had that domain already, and made it redirect to here, Walsho.net). I was also happy to give theleavingcert.com a mention in it, as that’s owned by Smemon, an online friend of mine. You’re welcome man! :lol:

So, a thanks to Gráinne Faller from the Irish Times for giving me the chance to help out, and also my English teacher, who was delighted with the appearance and even made an announcement to the class about it!
