I worry about people sometimes…

If you write a blog, and if you are as interested* in the statistics as I am (*for ‘interested’, substitute ‘mildly obsessed’ at your pleasure) you will know that you can see the search terms that people use to reach your mutterings. I am often surprised and amused by some of the things that people type [...]

Don’t forget the giveaway…

Only a couple of days left to enter! I’ve had lots and lots of comments this month, and can tell that I’m going to have lots of fun on Tuesday working out a way to pick the winner! But you still have a couple of days to load my site up with more comments and [...]

Giveaway!

It’s time! I’ve finally gathered the things and taken the pictures and here I am. Firstly, thank you to all of you who have helped me to get to 70,000 visits, and thus giving me the reason to celebrate something! And now to let you know what is in my giveaway this time; Here it [...]

August giveaway

I will be holding a giveaway later in the month, when I reach my 70,000th visitor. More details will be published nearer the time; suffice it to say here that there will be opportunities to enter via blog comments and tweets. Also, EVERY COMMENT posted to this blog during the month of August (except for [...]

In the name of all that is good and pure in your lives…

…please, please, please ignore my last post! I don’t know what I was thinking! Who on earth writes about taps, and expects anyone in their right mind to read it, for goodness sake?? Those of you who try to maintain blogs will understand me when I say, I am going through a low patch when [...]

New theme again!

I got bored with the theme for my blog (as predicted) as the Spring came in and the days got lighter and brighter. I decided that it was fitting to ditch the old, dark theme on the day that the clocks have gone forward and my evenings are correspondingly lighter. So, what do you think? [...]

New Spring Header

I’ve changed my header picture to reflect the season, but I’m not really very happy with it because the words are so hard to sort out. I love the picture, but the title’s all wrong. I think that tomorrow I’m going to have to look for a new theme again. I hate doing that. It [...]

Weird search terms…again!

Whenever I want to be reassured that the world is still just as weird as I thought, I go and look at the stats pages on my blog and see what search terms people have used in search engines to find their way to my website. And sometimes, they baffle me so much that I [...]

NaBloPoMo day 30 – I made it!!

Here it is, the last day of NaBloPoMo ’08, and I’ve posted every single day! Yay me! So NaNoWriMo didn’t quite happen, but I managed this, so I’m proud! I’ve also got quite a long way into my Christmas preparations, so all in all, a good month has been had. I’ve enjoyed the challenge of [...]

NaBloPoMo, November 2008

I must have a screw loose. Not only have I signed up to do NaNoWriMo this month, I’ve also committed (an apt word, I think) myself to take part in NaBloPoMo as well. All (hahaha, all?) this involves is posting something here, on my blog, every day for a month (hence NaBloPoMo = National Blog Posting [...]
