1st Annual State of the Blog Address.
I humbly offer this report in the hopes that some major politician will follow my lead and address his supporters and detractors alike in a similar fashion.... soon. :)
Seven days ago I blindly dove headfirst into the wacky world of blogging as an experiment, a ten day "test drive". I've decided to "buy the beater", muddle on so to speak, at least until the tank runs dry or until the "as is and shown" warranty expires.
On day 4, my wide open door policy attracted a few flies intent only on spewing mindless obscenties at some of my friends, (good folks who have swatted them into "fly paste" in the past) prompting me to toggle into moderated mode and get out the Pooper Scooper.
I've decided that for the time being to toggle back to the Unmoderated Wild West mode, after all,I can delete much faster than stupid people can comment. We'll see how that goes.
On day 5, I installed a hit counter to monitor the traffic, (no gridlock yet) this morning it was at 39.
THIRTY NINE! I know that doesn't sound like much (especially when you consider that most of them were me ;) )....
BUT....considering as there a 83.7 trillion web surfers out there (I counted) let's extrapolate those numbers, shall we.
If Zogby poll crunched those numbers, it would show that most Americans would favor the immediate impeachment, castration and lifetime incarceration of President Bush.
and...
If Newsmax crunched them it would show that he should be annointed "President for Life"!
go figure.
----------------
All in all, it's going well, our fan base includes numerous internationally famous radio talk show hosts and even a major political figure (think "heartbeat away") (wink wink)
I spent 21 minutes on this project from "decision to blog" to seeing it on the monitor.
Since then, I've spent countless hours figuring out the basic navigation, the simple tasks of adding links, e-mails, pictures and the like. Html hates me and it shows, but I'm working on it.
If you're expecting any major "gussy -ups, don't hold your breath, I'm in no hurry.
If anyone would care to put a link here to their site or blog, just let me know in comments or e-mail. If anyone is crazy enough to put a link to this work in progress on their community, consider this your permission and thank you.
In the weeks ahead, I plan to offer weekly-ish "Fencestraddles" of serious issues that affect us all and some of the web wierdness that I stumble across.
Please like me. and if you don't, it's ok, I do (obviously, I'm bloggin)
