I can’t remember who’s now, but someone’s blog features an occasional award for the most interesting search terms that drive visitors. I always enjoy seeing how people get here, so I thought I’d follow suit.
Today’s prize Search goes to a Cox customer who landed here via a Yahoo search for “patriarchy is good for women.” Congratulations, sir or madam. You are on your way.
Another great new addition to the blogroll: Full of Grace, Seasoned with Salt.
Is anyone besides me getting anything out of this blog? Mostly I’ve done it for my own purposes, but I don’t need it so much anymore, and lately I’ve really been hoping that my readers are getting something out of it as well. I have a number of regular readers and quite a few people wander through, but you’re all so very quiet. The fact that some of you keep coming back should tell me something positive, but a few words now and then would tell me a whole lot more.
So tell me this: If I allowed this blog to languish, would anyone really feel like they were missing out? I’ll take your silence as a clear “No.”
The comment spammers are getting smarter. Frequently, their garbage is pertinent to the article on which they have posted, and actually makes sense. However, a quick Google will find the exact same comment on other blogs, and their email and web addresses clearly mark them as advertisers. <DELETE>
On several occasions someone has told me that they had been reading my blog, but they didn’t show up on sitemeter’s statistics. It might be because of browser settings, ad-blocking software, or some other factor, but I am beginning to suspect that sitemeter is only counting about a third of my visitors. I doubt that another traffic analysis tool would do better.
I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress Saturday night, and it wiped out all the edits I had made to the template I was using. I did a backup before the upgrade, but it only backed up the sql tables. Grrr.
Congratulations, Verizon customer from somewhere in the vicinity of Potomac, Maryland, using Firefox on Windows XP and a screen resolution of 1280×1024 who clicked in from voxday.blogspot.com on the night of February 20th! You were my 10,000th visitor. Aren’t you proud?
OK, so 10,000 visitors in who-knows-how-many years isn’t much to brag about in the blogosphere. But, gosh darn it, they’re my visitors!
