blog stats … mean anything to you?

It frankly means piss all to me except maybe some days a whole whack of people googled something that led them to my blog. For example, my IKEA sofa post gets shitloads of hits almost every day. It sure as hell doesn’t mean (to me) that I’ve suddenly written something so amazingly amazing that all of Blogdom needed to read about. THAT day.

The only real ‘stats’ that mean anything to me are the people who leave comments and interact on my blog.

I love it when people drop in to say hello, comment on a topic, give their quiz results or engage in a serious debate. Because to me that’s what casa az is all about – a place to stop by and visit and have a chat, and perhaps meet new friends. I never feel like I am writing to an ‘audience’ or that I have some sort of ‘blog status’ to keep up. I’d actually hate to think that way because I think it would take all the fun out of it.

How do you feel about blog stats?

clean bookshelves!

Every book dusted, every shelf cleaned. And this morning I painted the bit where the Jaguar’s monitor and the printer sit. And Nog even wiped off and organised all my old cassettes and put them back in their little cassette-holder thingy (behind the monitor). And even my desk is relatively tidy for a change. Anyhow, I thought I’d take a photo of this moment for posterity as I’m sure by the end of the week (if not by the end of the day) things will be all cluttered again.

And check out Sunny. That’s his little stool where he demands to sit next to the Alpha Cat while she wastes her life spends her time on sexy beast. He actually prefers to sit on my lap but then I can’t reach the keyboard. So our compromise is the stool, as long as I talk to him a lot and give him a cuddle about every thirty seconds.
