They can have all the book deals in the world, that's not going to resurrect that dying blog of theirs. I know that as a duo they aren't going anywhere.
OHA is a home design/DIY blog run by a woman named Amanda. She runs a blog based on her and her DH's DIY adventures. So very similar vein to YHL. She would comment frequently on YHL's blog and did a lot of kissing up to them, to the point that her blog got a little shout out in their book. One day someone over on GOMI somehow discovered using her IP address that she had been posting on GOMI under an AE, where she proceeded to a) bash YHL and b) promote her own blog as a better blog alternative to YHL. She did it here too, but I forget her AE. After she had been outed her blog was suddenly made private and she posted that she was going private for personal reasons. In the meantime she is outed on GOMI, everyone is up in arms and she steps in as herself as a GOMI user, trying to explain things away. Lots of insults and GOMI OHA ensue. Maybe a month passes and next thing we know her blog is no longer private and she's blogging publicly as though absoutely nothing had happened.
That's the story as I know and recall it. Basically she's an immature wanna-be who will stop at nothing to promote herself at the expense of other bloggers.
i agree with the poster on GOMI who said they can't decide whether or not to remove YHL from their reader--nothing useful but it's such a trainwreck. i would probably never do a single YHL project in my home unless i was still at college. they're all just so juvenile.
with all that being said, was that really Amanda from OHA? i can't believe she had the balls to come back and trash YHL. yuck.
