This Blog Is Full Of Crap

Pardon the navel-gazing posts, blogging about blogging that bloggers always do when they change platforms, recover from a disaster, or whatever. The most important thing to a blogger is their blogging, you know, so if I'm going to mock the entire blogging lifestyle, I need to mock this aspect of it as well, too.

In the rework of the templates for this site, I tossed the Sitemeter counter off of every page but the main pages.

In the end, it doesn't really matter how many people read this garbage, where they're coming from, where they're going, yadda yadda yadda.

It doesn't even matter where the links are coming from, really. Half the time it's just some random Google search deep-linking something that's years out of date, anyway.

Tell me this: how much revenue does window-shopping make for the retailer?

ANSWER: Zero.

In fact, it costs them in terms of additional wear-and-tear on the facilities, having to repackage things they try on, dealing with shoplifting, additional security...

So, in the end, all that really matters as to whether a post is generating "buzz" or conversation is comments or feedback.

If something here inspires a post of your own, don't bother with Trackback - that's just bot-fodder for grinding your server to a halt these days. Just post something in the comments saying "Hey, you convinced me to post on this!" and folks will follow the link to your site.

Or not. See if I care.

By the way, blogging will be light today because I'm busy celebrating the 60th anniversary of the United Nations resolution establishing the division of the British Mandate into Jewish and Arab area, leading to the creation of the world's first and only Jewish state.

Take that, you motherfucking, cow-worshiping Hindus!

I'm gonna eat me a big old hamburger and send the spirit of your ancestor back into the reincarnation crapshoot.

Woohoo!
