Obsessive blogstuff update
Just to let y'all know...
Upon moving the SiteMeter code to this page, my visits more than tripled from my old daily average (just short of 1,000 visits after 3:30 yesterday). My old daily average (302) was passed at about 10:10 this morning, and I should pass my new daily average (385) before noon.
My rating on Truth Laid Bear (by traffic) went from #410 yesterday to #347 this morning, and should improve as the daily averages edge higher.
Big thanks to everyone who offered suggestions yesterday, and the support was very encouraging. Y'all rawk.
Okay, I think I can stop fidgeting now.

Admit it Blah3, you're lusting after making it into the top 100 blogs.

Heh. Maybe.
I was actually in the Top 100 at one time. For a few days.
I'd settle for top 200 at this point, but Top 100 would be gravy-licious.

Congrats on moving up in the rankings! I was on Truth Laid Bear last week to check my rankings, and was surprised when I saw where you were, I definitely expected you to be higher! Obviously, you should have been. It's nice to see you're finally moving up where you belong.

I didn't comment yesterday 'cause I wanted to think about it.
First, I read you daily. I like your choice of news items, I appreciate the concise-but-through way that you edit articles, I agree with your view point most of the time, I appreciate your projection of sincere opinions about things, and I appreciate your usual lack of snark - it's okay to be snarky occasionally but a steady diet of it can be annoying.
By way of complementing your work, I can only say this: in order to keep my blog reading from taking over my life, I rigidly adhere to maximum of twelve 'read daily' blogs - that is, if I want to add one to the list, one has to come off the list. Since you arrived on my personal list, I've never been tempted to take you off.
Keep up the good work!

I didn't comment yesterday when you were worried about your averages and really never comment at all on the blogs I visit, but I just had to say some things to you.
First, your site is a daily must for my news and information. I really enjoy and appreciate your insight. I refer all of the newly awakened anti-republicans in my ultra right wing Texas county to you.
Regarding your concern over the lower number of visitors, I noticed your posts reduced during the time you were creating the TBTM radio gig which could have affected your numbers. It disappointed me when I would visit and there would be few or no new posts. It did not however stop me from checking regularly just not as often. It's great to see you this active again and maintaning that level may help hook some more political junkies like me. Keep up the great work,
there's still a bunch of us out here watching.
Sincerely,
Clay

Blah3: It's Content-a-rific!
(Are you getting outside at all, Don? You'll develop that blogger pallor if you keep up this pace...)
Palefully yours,

Hoff,
I've had that pallor for years, buddy. We used to call it a 'studio tan' back inna day.
Yours may be a little less advanced than mine since you live in a tropical climate, but you know what i'm sayin.'
Posted by editor @ 04/22/2004 06:01 PM NY
Studio tan! Man, you ARE an old guy. (I still use it, but I thought it was too "in" for the room. I forgot who I'm dealing with here...)

just wondering, is this scumbuster person for real? its hard to believe someone could really be that misinformed (after all, he did think that Dick Clark was the guy from American Bandstand)
if scumbuster is just intended as an attempt at Parody, then i apologize. however, if he is for real, i must say that it genuinely warms my heart to see the mentally handicapped being taught the computer skills they so desperately need...

speaking of degenerate filth, this is what scumbuster posted today:
"04/22/2004 Entry: "Michigan Doctors 2 B Free From Gay Lifestyle Agenda"
Gay News From 365Gay.com
True conservative patriots in Michigan are making it easier 4 doctors to stop treating AIDS homos.
Doctors can tell if a person is a pervert by looking at them and most are conservatives who worked hard in medical school and shouldn't have 2 treat klintner loving perverts who have gay lifestyle sex. "
if ever a person deserved to die from a horrible disease, it would be this conservatwat.

Hate to burst your bubble, scumbuster, but our governor here in Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, is a Democrat. Even if that bill passes the Michigan Senate, she most likely will veto it.

isnt it astounding that anyone alive durring the post american era could be so ignorant. chilling, or terrifying, might actually be more accurate than astounding.
Posted by justin @ 04/23/2004 10:21 AM NY
jesus, i think ive been duped. does anyone here know? is scumbuster actually a liberal satyrist? i didnt really believe it till i looked at his links, and they are all to liberal sites (well, and the free republic).
now i feel a bit stupid. damn good deadpan though. he does an amazing job making republicans look like ignorant greedy evil subhuman filth. i usually catch on to sarcasm a bit faster... oh well

I'd be bragging if I had half your stats! Keep up the good work.
