What do I know about you?
- Almost every day exactly 2 of you access my blog by typing “dennis taylor” in a search engine. Why do you not use capital letters?
- Every day at least 10 and sometimes a lot more of you access my blog through my business website. Why do you not access it directly?
- Every day more than 30 of you access my blog using an RSS feed. Why have you chosen sprezzatura!?
- Every day several of you access my blog from the link on Fifth Column. Why? I do not have Josh’s penchant for profanity, and while we both have a flair for writing, our styles are very different.
- Almost every day someone discovers my blog for the first time … and reads post after post after post.
- Some poor schmuck recently found my blog while looking for information about psoriasis. Others discover my blog using some very bizarre search terms.
More tidbits:
- As a group, you are far more interested in research (or possibly dermatology) than in the financial services industry. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop posting on the latter subject.
- As a group, you rarely follow the links to other resources that I provide within my posts.
- If you click on any link from my blog, it’s likely to be the link to my business website.
- More of you read my blog while at work than at home – and some of you, like my former co-workers, are daring enough to access my blog despite having your computer monitored by your employer.
Still more tidbits:
- If you leave a comment, I often can figure out your general location or more even if you don’t use your real name or provide an email address.
- If you leave a comment, I can edit it to correct a typo or make it say something completely different.
Big Brother is watching!
Gosh Dennis, now I’m afraid to comment! I’ve always enjoyed “most” of your writing so I bookmarked your blog. And please feel free to edit my typo’s! Blogging is new to me (I’ve worked all my life in the unchangeable world of Higher Education) but i enjoy your comments.
Note to Self: Change “most” to ALL (ALLCAPS) in the above comment. I’m sure “most” was a typo.
Dennis, I’d rather have you as Big Brother than my employer. I just hope that solicitations for psoriasis cures don’t start popping up on my screen. Seriously, I enjoy reading your thoughtful take on a variety of issues. Intelligent discourse is refreshing.
Living Dangerously, as I’m sure you’re aware given that it’s the worst-kept secret in higher education, you have far more to fear from your own boss’s employee cyber-espionage efforts than from mine. I assume that is why you wisely accessed my blog from your home.
Thanks for characterizing the discourse as intelligent, a view not universally shared, I’m sure. Note to Self: No need to edit the above comment … unless … “superduper-intelligent” is a word. LOL
