Oh. I started a blog share thread in the writing section but now that we have this thread I suppose I can delete the other one. Wait, can I delete the other one? Or is that something only admins can do?

I'm a blogger but not a geek. (as you can tell, I'm pretty terrible at computers.)

We could merge them. Do you have a link specifically to it and I'll see how much overlap there is.

That's probably unnecessary since I'm the only one who's posted on the thread so far. But thanks anyway!

Yeah, naming the Blog and describing it pops up first.... I didn't have any idea until I started writing it, but I named it after me, and then put just that in the description: that I'd been staring at it and had to move on if I were even going to have a blog. It worked! I started writing and haven't stopped.

Hey, Linus, our bright, handsome boy--

I was redo-ing the link in my sig when it came up that "URL is not BB code." Huh? I don't see where I can implant a link down there now either. The tapu-tapu-tapu line is plain text.

Do you know what's up? Thanks! taps

This is fun. I am interested in seeing what everyone is up to. I love decorating blogs and found this really cool graphic artist Itkupilli
who shares blog designs for free. I adore her: http://blo64rt.blogspot.com/

I have two blogs:
This one is related to a radio show I produce here in Austin on Holistic Health. It includes pod-casts, guest info and articles some of my co-hosts have written.

Tales from the Golden Cabinet

This one is Erotica and I really need to get back to writing on it:

Interesting situation in my Blog hits lately:

I have one or two hits a day that show the incoming link as part of "google open social blah-blah," which often shows up when someone with a blog also on google hits me.

These were looking like someone might be using a proxy because each hit was from a different country: Italy, Germany, Slovenia (is there even still a Slovenia?), UK, South Africa. One came in from Luxumbourg, and I was like, "Gee, buddy, what's the other guy in Luxumbourg doing while you're on my blog?"

Anyway, I was able to trace a few down and it would seem that they are all from blogs in a spanking ring! As in, straight guys wanting women to spank them. They're very explicit sites.

I'd figure it was one of the random weirdnesses of the internet, but I'm wondering about how unrandom it might be. Certainly I know more than what I figure the average person might know about such a thing. Did some connection get made somewhere and I'm not aware of how? Bleh.

Also, I do participate on an international fetish forum. Just definitely not that one. Could things, though seemingly unrelated, come through there???

I figure if anyone will know, we will. Anyone know?

It's possible, if you advertise your blog there. Additionally, keep in mind that this particular forum, IIRC, is open to guests (not all of our forums are but this one might be).

That said, it's likely spammers. They just want to post random crap on your blog in an attempt to advertise whatever it is they are selling or promoting (kinda like the guys who leave fliers under your windshield wipers at the mall). Just moderate your comments and check afterwards.

Tapu, I have rounds of the same kind of visitors from time to time. I was told they were spammers. They are mostly from Eastern European countries. You have a neat blog, I enjoy your writing and photos.

quick update:
thanks to all the helpful tips above - i've spent the last several weeks tweaking the written content of my site and it's 100% more appealing to me.
thanks everyone

i have another question and i'm having a hard time deciphering information i've found online

i am currently using a free slideshow module that contains a hidden backlink to the developer
there seems to be conflicting opinions on how or if this will affect the users web ranking

any opinions here?

[Medusa]

My clicks are starting to pick up on my blog a little bit. I've found that posting current news articles with my own commentary helps a lot.

Recently purchased a dedicated server to host all of my blogs. Cheaper than individual hosting (much, much cheaper) and all of my tools are in one place. Hostgator rocks!

Wordpress is where it's at!
