Thanks

Traffic is down everywhere over the holiday weekend, but surprisingly enough there were quite a number of you who braved the malls and the blizzards to drop by at least once this weekend:

I guess y'all had enough of the folks by Saturday, huh?

I think I'm doing pretty well for being out just a month (tomorrow is my 1 month Bloggiversary), thanks to all of you who drop by frequently!

Drop me a comment occasionally so I know who you are! I get about 40-50 unique visitors a day, according to my site tracking, and I only know 3 or 4 of you that drop by. (Probably the kiss of death for my comments...)

So, that being said, let's talk about something I've had on my mind: Last week President Bush turned into Reggie Bush and broke through a line of tacklers to score a Trojan touchdown save his Secret Service agent in Peru, and this week we hear he was nearly assassinated in Colombia. All joking aside, do you think there might be a link, especially in light of this bit at Wizbang (read the update) ?

Discuss.

Actually, I'm happy that people actually dropped by, as I was expecting ZERO traffic this weekend at all, and I was HIGHLY amused by the timing of Saturday's spike.

Now let's talk about somehing interesting!

Hm, not that it is relevant in this posting, but would you prefer comments or trackbacks, if anyone has anything interesting to say about a posting of yours?

To answer your question, Bill, either or both, I don't care. Trackbacks are nice because they increase traffic, but I'm not picky. :)

Well, on my blog I've been getting sometimes a half a dozen visitors a day, sometimes a dozen. And I can identify a distressing number of them, based on IP address, browser, and operating system.

I dunno, I'm even newer to blogging than you are, Caltechgirl— obviously, since I accidentally ended up with a blog of my own whilst registering to comment on your blog! :)

At present I'm sort of viewing my blog as a way to post to myself online, about topics which happen to interest me; and if anyone else comes along and also finds them interesting, well, that's sort of a gratifying bonus. I still have reservations about blogging coming to consume too much of my free time.

What's weird is that I got indexed in Google very quickly— within a couple of days— it's strange when someone arrives at my blog searching on "metaphor as mistake"— stranger yet that I had a post which was actually thoroughly relevant to the topic...

That one I can explain. Since google and blogger are the same company, unless you set it up so that your blog is totally private, you're indexed on google PDQ. For good and bad, I suppose.
