I just added one of those post view things
on the blog posts. Unfortunately it obviously cannot back count, so I have posts that say “2 views” with 150 comments. It’s going to look like my site skipped 4th grade math. Kinda like I skipped 4th grade grammar (don’t all nod at once here).
I think it adds to the imperfection of c’est moi.
Now I will know how many times someone is reading and NOT commenting and I can get all super paranoid at why I am not worth a 4 word sentence that says “I read this shit” or “Go suck on an egg”.
Wait. That’s 5 words.
The stress has begun.

Nice idea, but it would send me right into a tailspin
So I totally want this plugin! Off to go find it! Or..better yet link to it! PLEASE!
Awww, I am seriously so jealous of your blog and computer skills! I can’t even figure out how to add the subscription option to my blog and you know how to record page views! God, I am tech-illiterate! Hee hee
Wow, a counting thing!
can it only work in WP ?
now I have another thing to obsess about having on my blog….
It would be nice to know if my (too few) posts are being read, even if there is no comments…
I have to start somewhere!!
okay, now I go to post 2 in your update…..
Thanks Trisha, I like the Post Views!
Keep up the great blog,
Lisa
Very interesting. didn’t know you could do that. I do want to say, your daughter is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
aww, thankyou!! i think so to, so its nice to be validated. LOL
Oh Oh….I usually don’t comment but don’t want to be a lurker so this is my comment. OMG….how lame was that. Maybe I better stay a lurker.
seriously, this is so fun to have NEW people comment. Its like i backed all yall in the corner. FUN! Now i can say hi.
HI lurkers!!!
I’m so behind the times on this stuff. I seriously should switch to WP, but when I tried it made my head hurt…for several days…then I gave up. The post views thing is a new one on me.
BTW, you so totally don’t suck. Thanks for sharing your expertise and experiences with us
Oh yeah, and your retweet button is showing up on the right hand side over the post text in my view (Firefox). I didn’t notice it last time I was here. Just thought I’d mention it.
Keep rockin’ the blogosphere Trisha. We love your posts!
really? over the text? I am in firefox too. Can you screenshot tome?
I came back for WW and saw this. It seems to be fixed now. Whatever was wonky is gone. Maybe it was my eyes and not FF, lol.
Looks great
LOL your so silly
its all i have.
wellllllll, that is an interesting plug-in thingy. I pick 4, this post is awesome.
Oh, just thought of something. Someone somewhere (not me, because I don’t know how) should create a comment plug-in that allows lurkers to just pick from a drop down list of pre-typed comments. Then they could leave you the four words you crave.
Barely time to read the post let alone comment!
This is a comment and run……haha
hi sarah! No need to run. I took a shower.
Okay, I feel guilty for lurking now. How about instead of, “go suck on an egg” I say, “I love reading your posts”? Hope that works better for you
It works! It works!! Nice to meet you Nici! Beautiful name.
Hope-this-works-for-you.-When-I-do-a-comment-add-on-it-bites-me-every-time.-Ha!-one-word-comment.
that was terribly creative. I think i like your comments. Even if they are only 1 word.
bite me? ha
yes, bite you.
I was quite comfortable lurking and now I have to be all self-conscious. There, 12 words, wait, 16, do numbers count? what about the hyphenated, is that one word or two? sigh
AH HA!!! I CAUGHT YOU!!
Sorry, Sorry, Sorry… I always meant to comment – but can rarely think of anything witty enough to say…
Here are a few things you can pull out
1) you suck
2) you are awesome
3) this post sucks
4) this post is awesome
interchange at will.
