- What’s Here?
I did something different today. For the past two months I have been enjoying blogging as a hobby and an activity that actually relieves Restless Legs Syndrome in many people. During this time my ideas about blogging have changed pretty radically. Content and style have evolved. And what happened today will lead to more change as well. All I did basically was to dial back the number of words and vastly increase the number of pixels. And my readership went up one hundred percent over the previous high number. This tells me that a fair number of people would rather look at my pictures than read what I say. And that’s fine. But I’m not going to stop writing. I would rather have a few readers who comment than five thousand who just stop by and enjoy the pictures. It’s nice to think someone enjoys the pictures. But it would be nicer to have a little communication going on.
The best thing that happened today regarding blogging was my discovery of the commenting feature that allows me to keep up with every comment I have made while wandering around blogland. Now I don’t have to wait for someone to comment at this location. I can go out there and comment. And then instead of going back every day to ten different places to see if, by chance, someone has said something…Well, you get the picture. It’s a great service and it’s located between the two surfing options. Some of my comments have gone without a response and this makes me sad. Because I try to cheer people up. And it seems like they don’t check their stuff very often. Or they won’t communicate even if you come up to them and “shake their hand”.
I am worried, in particular, about this one girl who went on a cruise to the Bahamas and got hit by a bus or something. She ended up in a hospital in Freeport. You have to read her description of this place to believe it actually exists. Here’s a link to this nightmarish vacation. This girl should expand her story and sell the rights to a movie producer for a million dollars.

You’re right David. I also do the same, just stopping by a blog because I’m attracted with the picture posted – then I’ll read the whole blog since it caught my attention. Now I’m doing the same with my blog .. add more colors and shapes. =)
