The fact...Oh right, Blogger ate this comment too. <br /><br />The fact is I am not much of an artist. Stephanie is amazing because she does self-portrait cartoons that convey so much about her and her adventures. With the cartoons she is able to explore points of view no camera could capture without a film crew or a drone. I'm not jealous, just a little envious.

I was on the commuter train headed home and reading the New York Times when I read an article about the World Wide Web and how it was destined to replace Archie, Veronica and Gopher. I thought the world was going mad. If it hadn't been the New York Times I would have thought it was all a bad joke.<br /><br />The internet is like this huge huge beast that doesn't even know you're present. You're like a tiny tick on the ankle of a massive elephant, only much, much more insignificant. And yet it's possible to adopt a blogging strategy that will result in more pageviews.<br /><br />Nothing drives pageviiews like a fresh post. But you can also mine pageviews from old posts. All you need to do is to make them accessible. <br /><br />I have some posts that have generated close to a thousand pageviews a piece, and they continue to attract views. There is one post that's north of 3K pageviews.<br /><br />So I watch the stats in the same way that a scientist might try to determine the physiology of an animal by examining a single hair. Call it obsessive (and it may be) but I find it to be a continuing source of wonder.<br /><br />But it's not like I'm trolling for dollars with AdSense or anything. As many pageviews as I have any given month, as near as I can tell, the most it could be worth is maybe $15 a month. Definitely not worth the hassle.<br /><br />So that in a nutshell is why I'm like a cat tracking a stupid laser pointer when it comes to stats.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-33890784395960126952014-08-01T08:56:32.487-04:002014-08-01T08:56:32.487-04:00Guess it's time to check out my stats as well....Guess it's time to check out my stats as well.
