blogging as a job?

why some entries receive more attention than others could be just a coincidence, random timing of a web search, or maybe even something in the content but so often the attention and comments appear to have little or nothing to do with the content no matter how much i attempt to bend it like what's his name and feel i was so clever in connecting the content in the entry or comment response...

so far this morning, with a touch of news of the world tossed in (what a sad pathetic redundant race we are, sigh), i have been exploring stats of my blogs and considering blogging as a job (which may be why this entry is entitled blogging as a job? but then, who knows, aye?... looking at things from a commercial perspective is so very different from the happy-go-lucky babbling about anything in any way i usually do... for instance, take the title of the last entry, good morning, aye?... would that be a spoof or even a serious title for a canadian morning show?... aye?...

just one more brilliant idea tossed out here without copyright, though overall everything in my blogs is copyrighted by the i wrote it and published it rule, so never mind, pay me if you use the title, so there... unless you can prove it's been used before, of course... so meanwhile, i also explored some older posts that have received lots of page visits and comments, even, and wondered why... the numbers prove that this blog is not yet commercially viable but also show that readership has gone up like a lot in the past year and a lot a lot in this year... i have no clue why... see the number of page visits for the top whatever visted pages (listed by number of page views): 273 256 185 139 77 70 46 40 and make of it what you will... seems almost random, but then, what do i know... in the past month this one has been visited 157 times, an anomaly or some sort of new attention?... does that suggest food blogging?...

i suppose i ought to take google analytics more seriously... crash course time?... anybody wanna take it with me?... or ideally, perhaps an expert ready to teach me everything has just been waiting for me to ask?... then i can stop pretending i don't know what to do and get paid for all this (what delusion?... you see something?)... you know i am not gonna start editing or organizing consciously if it's not a paying job cuz, after all, without calling it a job, it's art... purists understand and laugh...

so how is your day developing so far? :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
