What happened is that two years ago I wrote a post called Halloween Warning and it got a little attention, but this year, people would Google “halloween” and then they would come to this blog entry.

It’s like how can you get all wrapped up in statistics when what happens is so random and unpredictable? On Halloween day, I got 3,172 hits. I’m a very limited blogger, I don’t have the kind of blog that attracts huge numbers – and while that may look like a huge number, it is discouraging when I know that I may never see a figure like that again.

My top all time posts are led by a picture of a birthday cake. I admit, it is a gorgeous cake, I spent a lot of time looking for just the right cake, but . . . my all time high?

There is nothing like blogging to keep you humble, and from taking yourself too seriously. :-/

  7. Q8Geek – see 2twentythree3 comment – more clicks on posts you just throw out there somehow aren’t very satisfying. It seems to be the most superficial posts that get the most attention.

    2twentythree3 – life trumps blogging, every time. πŸ™‚ That’s a good thing, 23, having a satisfying life. πŸ™‚ You may have some surprises coming – I thought my high point was when I reached 10,000 . . . but somehow, it keeps going up, with some drop on Friday/Saturday, and a bigger drop in the summer.

    You have sharp eyes, Daggero. πŸ™‚

    No kidding, Aurous! I know the entry you are talking about, it was called Kuwait bans Melmac! What is so interesting is that some smart scientist in Kuwait pursueded the government to ban Melmac / melamine long before the issue started getting a lot of visibility. Woo Hooo on him, whoever he may be.
