Blog Minx

I haven’t blogged this week, partly because I’ve been busy and partly because I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t.  Results below.

The World

The world didn’t end; in fact, it carried on. The cheek!

Traffic

Traffic definitely dropped, by about 20%.  That’s not too bad considering how silent I was. Did they see tumbleweed? Come back, traffic! Look, I baked you some cookies.

Comments

Well, of course there were fewer comments, but some came from new readers who were browsing through older posts.  There’s about four months’ worth of posts on this site now, with at least three decent ones. I in turn have not commented on anyone’s site this week. That’s bad for blogging friendships and bad for traffic. Naughty.

RSS

My RSS Reader articles piled up due to non-checking and were in the hundreds by yesterday. I skimmed through the list and only opened the most exciting ones.  Yes, your post was one of them. The rest? The cheat button: ‘Mark all as read’. Naughty.

Money

Ah, money. This blog has never made much money directly (it comes from people commissioning me for work). AdSense doesn’t seem to have changed at all, although I notice the ads displaying for me today have changed; Google seems confused about what this site is all about now. It is not a dating site, Google! No, don’t spider the words dating site! Doh!
