- must be a bigger problem if you don't have clerics around. Unsurprising, now that he thinks about it. He finds their email address and sends them a message:

Hello,

My name is Raafi; I'm an unintentional visitor from another world who appeared in this one a few days ago. I have magic, including healing and disease-curing magic, that you might be interested in. You can find my interview with Brooklyn Windhouse this morning for some examples of my magic, and I can also teleport somewhere to meet you, as further proof; I just need a picture of the place.

Then he looks into making a Pamphlet account - how much will it cost to get his identity confirmed?

Pamphlet will give him a verification triangle on his name for 450 euros.

...except Brooklyn said that wasn't going to work... what was the other thing? ...see, this is why he takes notes. He tries searching for it.

Pamphlet will also accept Proof Positive verification.

And how expensive is that?

...not that it really matters, this is obviously going to be important. He sets that in motion, and begins writing his first post.

Hello everyone; this is Raafi, your unintentional interworld visitor; I'll have verification soon. If there's anything else I ought to be doing, please let me know - I've never done anything like this before.

I see you had some questions about the interview I did earlier...

He goes on to respond to some of the comments: Air walk looks a little scary to some people, but it doesn't feel any different from walking up or down a hill. Stuffed beetles would be great. The accent is probably from his magic trying to make him understandable to as many people as possible; it might be different in different contexts. He hasn't had a chance to read about this world's god yet but it doesn't surprise him that different worlds have different ones; it would be stranger if Fharlanghn had known about this place all along and never told anyone. He'll write about moral alignment and the afterlives another day; it's a big topic that he wants to take the time to get right.

His blog is not picked up by major link distributors in the first two minutes.

He writes some notes, spends a little while looking at travel blogs - mostly noting places he might want to go see, but also getting a feel for what kind of gear travelers use here - and checks back in on the blog, not really expecting much, before he turns in for the night.

He has a comment that says hey is this legit

It is! I'll have verification in the morning.

Hey, check out my blog! I endorse back!

And what's their blog?

Porn!

Well then! He deletes that comment, and searches "how do I stop bad comments on my blog?"

There are many Pamphlet extensions and features he might wish to install and activate! Core Pamphlet has anti-spam but it's hard to keep up with new tactics.

It doesn't take long for him to conclude that he's out of his depth; he checks the blog again.

He has a lot of spam.

Right.

He turns off commenting, deletes it all, and makes a post saying that it'll be back on when he's figured out what to do about the spam.

And then it's bedtime; he sleeps soundly, and is up just before dawn to see to his devotions - properly, this time, none of this sitting-still make-do.

His confirmation is in from Proof Positive!

Good! He sets that up over breakfast (half a much-too-sweet apple pastry, mango yogurt, sausage, blackberries; he found a grocery store) and then takes another shot at figuring out what to do about the spam; it still makes his head spin, and he eventually tries "hire someone to help with my blog".

Top result is a service called Blork which offers by-the-hour editing, styling, formatting, moderation, and maintenance services.

That seems plausibly like what he's looking for. He'll... email them? Whatever the procedure seems to be.

They take emails! He gets an instant autoresponse which directs him to a form about his blog and its readership and what services he wants so he can be matched with a Blorker.

His blog is brand new and his readership is brand new and he is brand new; he doesn't know what most of the services on their site are, but right now he's looking for help making the spam stop. In the slightly longer run he might be famous (he's the Raafi from that interview) and will want his blog to be nice and professional-looking.

He is paired with a Blorker who goes by Dogwood ("Blorkers are permitted to use screen names in their professional capacity"). Dogwood is happy to hand-moderate his comment section if he doesn't want to use software tools! Does he want to set policies any more restrictive than "no spam"?
