Kittens, especially, are a big draw. The top three posts are in order:
1. Catty Rolls – which contained a picture of kittens and paragraph talking about my lack of love for cats. The post went on to talk about a specific type of street food. < No, please don’t read that again!>
2. 10.10.1985 – an eulogy twenty-eight years late.
3. Hello World – this is an interesting post. A self-congratulatory story of a past success; it really caters to no one in particular. Why then does it rank so highly? I suspect it is because I took a long post and split it into three, leaving readers hanging. A ploy that obviously seems to have worked.
My personal favorites don’t come anywhere near the top of the list. This lament bemoaning the American celebration of mediocrity making money while Libya burns and Fukushima hangs on grimly under the power of the sea and the radioactivity has seen little activity. Written completely in about 20 minutes and offering a fun way for readers to participate it will always be special.
And then is the representation of readers. The US holds the top spot by far, followed by India and Canada. Not surprising given the current distribution of family and friends. But then we have useful contributions from the UK, Spain, Singapore, Netherlands, Lebanon, Gibraltar, Australia and France followed by a whole host of other countries.
We have covered so much ground that it is hard to explain what this blog is about. A direct question put to me the other day at dinner to which I really did have no answer. What is this all about? We covered why in this post, but what is it about? We’ll have to dig into that at some point.
I do know it won’t be about cats or kittens.
It’s the eyes – they get us every time.
ah – so you fell for my kitten hook!
Meow.

But I’m not a cat picture poster…unless it’s my own adorable kitty.
Guilty! But I’m giving ’em what they want, apparently…
You gotta have a ‘draw’
‘slutely! Get them in there first. The make them go through the store. Ikea has it down pat.
I’ve never been – I tend to get overwhelmed with Costco -Ikea sounds even WORSE. 🙂
Costco is easier. It has aisles. Ikea has corridors and rooms off it. The only way to get to the end is to follow the corridor to the end where the check out counters are. They have an escape route (or a short cut) in one of two places.
But they do have really good meatballs… for a dollar.
sorry – One corridor (singular), not corridors (plural).
Hee hee – I eat no meatballs…
When I was 8 months preggers – I had a complete meltdown at Costco – because no one would help me in the TV department….I had to just leave my basket and flee the store crying…it was not a pretty sight.
Wow! But I would say Ikea is much better staffed. Costco is a very much a self-help warehouse.
Preggos need a lot of help –
We as in the Royal We, or in your multiple personalities on this blog? 😉
We are definitely not regal…
Kitten def cuter than MM… but latter more useful.
Heh! I agree that WordPress is more useful than cats (or cute kittens).
Unless you’re a farmer with a rodent problem.
True! But I’m no farmer…
