Feast your eyes on that masterpiece.
Cilantro sauce, left over chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella. As always a great hit!!!!
A few days ago I commented on
a post by John Wells at The Field Lab suggesting a possible alternative he might consider regarding a wood stove. Seems when the wood stove he bought was delivered he was disappointed and went to take a closer look at my idea leaving a nice comment for me. Yesterday John
posted about the camp stove he bought mentioning his intention to try my idea and giving my stove building post a plug.
And the hits started coming in. Something close to 300 in the last 24
hours. Boosting the hit count on that one stove building post to nearly as much as my
stair building post. That one post is the one that consistently gets the most hits and I
suspect it may be actually linked in someones discussion group as the hits tend to come in bursts as if someone was sharing it with others. The most
hits according to the Feedjit counter are consistently on
the stair jig photo. Neat to think perhaps someone out there might be copying what I copied from someone else.
I started this blog about two years ago just on a lark as I was following a few blogs and the Google "dashboard" kept telling me I did not have a blog and should start one of my own. Mostly to stop the obnoxious prompts I followed the directions (a rare thing indeed) and figured out how to put up a page and figured I might as well share some of my mundane activities with my friends. Now I never thought people other than my friends might be interested in my doings but apparently so. Nearing 33 thousand hits in the last 2 years.
Seems Jaz at
Octoberfarm is a big source of all my visitors as she has me linked in her sidebar. So my thanks go out to all of you.

oh cool! that is good to hear! your pizza looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIts always interesting to see how visitors find you. Quite consistently when I put up a new post the first hits always come by way of your page.
DeleteFame is sweet but too much can be indigestible...
ReplyDeleteNot fame Doug, perhaps infamy instead . . . . its is just nice to see others share the same interests and some even find inspiration. Go figure! who would have thunk it!
DeleteCongrats on all that and that pizza looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Doc, Just bumbling along doing my thing. The pizza though I do have down to a science, unfortunately on the rare occasion I get to eat the bought kind I am always disappointed.
DeleteI hope I send some hits your way as well. It's rewarding looking at the stats. I sometimes get massive spikes from the most random of things.
ReplyDeleteI might have to make that stair jig!
Hi Kev, yes the feed widget on the side bar is handy just to see how visitors arrive at your site as it tells you the referring website. I often get hits coming from your blog and John Gray's. Used to get quite a few from Tom Gowans' Hippo on the Lawn, but he has just dropped off the face of the earth in the last few months. It would be interesting to know what causes the spikes. I can't help but think someone is sharing a link to a post as they tend to come in bursts from different locations on a the same post. Oddly my Spanish Guns post gets hits from the most exotic places, Philippines, Indonesia, Egypt, Crete, Iran, Russia, the Balkans and the like. When I put the stair jig photo up I was actually thinking of you as you had previously mentioned custom made tools on one of your posts. It is just curious that it is the most frequented photo of all I have put up. The jig is handy, not my invention but my home made copy of a commercial model I saw once. I don't use it all that often but when I do it does come in very handy.
ReplyDeleteAnything to do with chickens comes up pretty high on mine!
DeleteI have to admit I lover blogging, even if my wife doesn't and would rather find me on porn. The links and knowledge I've gotten from people are amazing. I like the fact that you're a fellow carpenter and seeing the different ways you guys do things, it all helps make the job easier and more enjoyable. it would be nice if I could get the average page views up a bit and have an advert or two on the blog to have a tiny income from it.
Yes, seeing different approaches to the way we get the job done is always good and you never know when it might come in handy. As for the adverts I am reluctant to go there as I can't imagine it would pay enough to make it worth the trouble. Most pages with adverts are too heavy to load and too distracting. I find them a turn-off.
