Okay, maybe I'm going to sound a little bit petty with this post, but a few days ago I was browsing blogs at another blog hosting site. I came across this one particular blog on someone else's page and the person's icon looked fairly interesting, so I clicked on the picture. When I got to her page and looked through it I found it to nothing more than just a lot of semi sexy pictures of her posing on logs, bending over in lacy pajamas, etc. with little cutesy comments like, "Hi, everyone!!! Have a nice day!!" Don't get me wrong; I know that people blog for different reasons, and, as well, people check out blogs for different reasons. I'm sure that she has many an appreciatory fan out there, just waiting for her to post yet another semi naked picture with a message underneath telling them to "have a great day". Indeed, she has probably helped more than one person to do just that. The thing that got me about the site was that she had something like 80,000 hits!!! Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why this person would have so many viewers enthralled with her page. If I posted more pictures of myself in compromising pictures with cute little captions underneath that basically said nothing would I have 80,000 hits on my blog site? It's not going to happen; it's just not my style. If anything, I'd have to post something sarcastic beneath the pictures. There are bloggers out there who post hot pictures but have something to say as well, and I think that's great (I'm thinking of Stealth, in particular). I understand why they get so many hits-they're beautiful and intelligent; they have both outer beauty and inner substance. Has our world gone so far down the tubes that all people care about is getting a cheap thrill online? Does anyone want to think anymore? Perhaps I'm just being egoistic. It's not like my site is so damned interesting that everyone should be checking me out. I actually have quite a few friends at the other blog hosting site, too, so I guess I should stop kvetching about not having 80,000 checks into my page. Still, though.....Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Signs of Intelligent Life on Our Planet???

See? That's what I love about you: Always a laugh riot! :-)
What do you mean HAS our world gone so far down the tubes? Where have YOU been? Have you turned on the TV lately? So yes, you would absolutely get that kind of traffic with such content. Um...I'm waiting....
:-) Have a great day! Hee hee hee.
And let's not forget how many of us do this HNT thing because we're traffic whores LOL That's established. Now we're just haggling over price. Clearly I'm cheap
