Ten Quite Interesting Things About This Blog
Here are a few things about My Writing Blog you might be interested to know...
1. The blog was started in November 2005, since when it has been visited around 22,000 times. This will be the 194th post I have made on it.
2. The largest number of visitors (38%) come from the United States. After that comes the UK with 34%. The country with the next highest visitor numbers is Australia, with 4%.
3. You can subscribe to My Writing Blog by entering your email address in the box near the top of the screen. All my posts will then be sent to you by email as soon as I make them. As of today, 242 people subscribe by this means.
4. If you use an RSS feed reader such as Google Reader, you can also subscribe to my blog using the links in the right-hand column. Using a feed reader removes the risk of emails being blocked by an over-zealous spam filter.
5. Comments are welcome on any of my posts. Just click on the 'comments' link at the foot of each post and enter whatever you wish to say in the pop-up box that appears. You can log in with your Blogger/Google account if you wish, but anonymous comments are also allowed.
6. You are also welcome to include a link to your own website in your comments. If you want the link to be clickable, it will need to be written in HTML. Note that all comments, especially those with active links in them, must be relevant in some way to the post concerned.
7. There is now a large amount of content on my blog. If you wish to search for a particular keyword or phrase, one method is to go to http://www.google.com/ and enter your chosen search term followed by the phrase site:www.mywritingblog.com. Any posts from my blog (and only my blog) that meet your search requirements will then be displayed.
8. If you have a Squidoo site, as discussed a little while ago in this post, you can enter the RSS or Atom Feed URL in Squidoo's RSS module, to have the most recent posts from my blog displayed on your site. This is very cool ;-)
9. Since the start of 2007, all posts on this blog have had labels. You will see these at the foot of each post. Click on any label (e.g. blogging ) and all the posts which have that label attached to them will be displayed.
10. Finally, if you think a certain post would be of interest to a friend or relative who isn't already a subscriber, you can email it to them by clicking on the 'email post' icon at the foot of the post concerned. A new window will open allowing you to enter your friend's email address and a covering note, e.g. 'Thought you might be interested to see this'. Click on Send Email, and away it will go. This is another very cool feature!
