This memorial was conceived as a place to honor the servicemembers who lost their lives over the past four years during the Iraq War. By watching the videos, you will have the opportunity to learn about these heroes from those who knew them best — their family, friends, and fellow servicemembers. Each man and woman represented in the memorial had attributes and qualities that made them unique, but they all have one thing in common - they were truly loved and are deeply missed. For more information, visit the memorial’s website.
I ping technorati with every post. On their site my blog has the correct “last updated” time. Yet, my posts do not appear! The most recent post that Technorati lists is from 26 days ago. That’s TWENTY SIX! I email them every time I post and give them the running total of non-appearing posts but I don’t hear squat from them. I used to get a lot of hits from them but, obviously, not recently. I own both the .org and .com versions of this domain. So, I claimed the .com version of my blog the other day. And the same problem is happening. “Last updated” time is correct. No posts appear.
To quote Bluebeard: “ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”
Or was that Blackbeard?
“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!”
Just kidding.
But really. I’ve started getting a little discouraged with the blog. I saw a huge spike in traffic last week but now I’ve gone back to my usual trickle. I’ve been online only a couple months now and I know it takes some time but, you know … a little more traffic would be nice.
What I really need to keep in mind is that I’m doing this blog for myself and not the public attention, critical acclaim, “fame and fortune and all that goes with it. I thank you all.” I’m doing this blog to figure things out for myself and see where I really stand and what I really believe. Naturally, having input from others would help — sometimes I bore even myself with the stuff I write. But in the end, it’s only me who needs to benefit from this.
So, chin up, Ken. Keep up the good fight. Don’t let the lack of traffic and comments get you down. You’re the man!
That’s more like it! I’ll “borrow” from ol’ Stu Smalley but with my own little twist …
“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, I don’t give a flying fiddler’s fuck if no one reads my blog!”
This MBH is my favorite one so far.
Actually, I gave up making New Year’s Resolutions while still in the womb. My first one — to be born on the Ides of March — failed miserably. My plan was to be born on such an inauspicious day that I would have no choice but be destined for greatness. May sound a little funny, but hey, my frontal lobe had not completely formed yet. I also didn’t realize that it’s not an easy task to be born six weeks early. Or was it five — I may have been a week late.
Anyway, after that I resolved to never make another resolution.
So why the title for this post? Just to get you to read it.
