In case you weren’t at BarCamp (for shaaaame!), or you were at BarCamp and missed my presentation (gasp! that’s even worse!), I told people that the weirdest things attract attention online. A post you spent 2 minutes writing will attract all sorts of attention and a post you spent time researching and getting pictures for and all that noise, will pass right by people’s notice. Every single time, man.
Case in point: I wrote this in about 30 seconds because I was trying to avoid my real work. It got several links and has caused me to have the best traffic day I have ever had since I switched to WordPress.
I’ve spent hours and hours researching and taking pictures for this post. Likelihood that it’ll get the same attention? Slim to none. Now, I know the drought is a, heh, dry subject, but it’s important news. And it’s something I researched my very own self, so it’s new news, rather than most of the stuff I regurgitate and put my own spin on.
But that’s how it is. The internets is weird.

Yep, I wrote about my first anniversary… golden. I wrote about my depression, more kudos to Klinde… I go all out and beg to hear from people with experience being a step mother, leave comments on known step mother blogs asking beckoning with my SOS… Nada, zip, nothing.
Gotta love irony.

You are absolutely correct about comments being unpredictable…what can I say…if a post doesn’t get any comments, I feel unloved. lol

One of my most commented on posts was one I wrote in about 20 seconds about the stank in the ladies restroom at my office.
Go figure.
