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 crap” or “Go suck on an egg”.

Wait. That’s 5 words.

The stress has begun.

  1. Nice idea, but it would send me right into a tailspin

    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 :)

  4. 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…..

    Keep up the great blog,

    Very interesting. didn’t know you could do that. I do want to say, your daughter is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

    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.

  8. 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 :D

    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!

    LOL your so silly

  10. Alli says:

    wellllllll, that is an interesting plug-in thingy. I pick 4, this post is awesome.

    • Alli says:

      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.

  11. Barely time to read the post let alone comment!

    This is a comment and run……haha

  12. Nici says:

    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 :P

  14. Elizabeth says:

    bite me? ha

  15. Anne says:

    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

  16. Leigh says:

    Sorry, Sorry, Sorry… I always meant to comment – but can rarely think of anything witty enough to say…

Speak Your Mind
