Harper Seven - Thank you!

THANKS to the Beckhams' baby daughter, Harper Seven, my faith in reporters has been restored - well some reporters.

As many of you may know my experience of appearing in the Daily Mail on Friday was ridiculous - with made up quotes and a totally different article written to what I had expected. You can read my response here.

Luckily the BBC news saved the weekend with my story on 'how to have a baby girl' quoted as a feature on the health pages on Saturday. The article by Helen Briggs titled 'Sugar and spice and all things nice' was popular remaining as one of the most read articles all Saturday - even more so than the phone hacking and space launch articles. Helen Briggs managed to sum up my blog post without having to fabricate my words and quoted my views correctly. The article was in relation to the Beckhams having a girl after 3 boys. My blog was a featured link and led to my blog hits soaring.

On Saturday alone, my post on 'how to have a baby girl............or not' had more than 3,500 hits. Since Saturday the hits have continued, although at a slower pace.

So Harper Seven Beckham thank you for creating  traffic to my blog. Thanks also to the BBC for the article and for your correct reporting - other journalists can learn a lot from you.
