Sensicology Blogiversary!
I actually didn’t realize this until last night when I looked at the monthly stats and saw that I started this blog last July! July 1st to be exact, so I’m many days late on this. Anyways, so this blog has a looong way to go as it’s not nearly as popular as other personal/science blogs but to be honest, I kind of like it that way. I think I view this blog as my home away from the rest of the web. This post will be wrapping up this blog’s year online. First, here’s my lackluster progress with stats,
The first post was the Welcome All post. I read it last night and I completely laughed as this blog has went in a completely different direction. Not only was I attitude-y in the welcome post but a liar. I wrote, “…Im not just some jibber jabbery person” lol I didn’t realize it then but I kind of am, though technically I’m not that way when I talk, just when I type. I actually stayed on the subject of science until around mid-January(ish) then I turned it into a part personal blog. Which, kind of still stayed on science because I was taking science classes and described what I was learning.
I must admit, I feel a little guilty about this but my most popular blog post is, Catching Aquatic Insects and Surviving The Punishment Of The Greek Gods. The reason I feel guilty is because most people are visiting that blog using search terms like, “pond insects”, “aquatic insects”, and “insects”. I keep telling myself that I’ll eventually write an elaborate post about aquatic insects, but I never gotten around to it! But, here’s some search engine terms to be proud of, but I highly doubt people found what they were looking for:
- sex on the trail camping trip – too bad I didn’t write a how-to post or something!
- laughing caddis gif – no laughing insects on this blog, that’s weird
- being a pushover mom – looks like someone was looking for parenting advice
- greek insect monster – no words to explain this
- pokemon gameboy color case – unless this person looked at the comments section or something, then theres no way this person found info on a pokemon gameboy case. But, for what it’s worth, I had the Pokemon Gold Gameboy color case.
- thinking of gay people for bible – wut??
- stuff to eat when stomach hurting – sorry, for whoever searched for that, cause the only advice I remember giving was to eat something warm or not drink Pink Lemonade!
Some blog achievements was…getting lots of visits from Digg and Reddit…I don’t know if that’s an achievement but I’ll call it that! Also, being on Stumble Upon, again, not really a blog achievement and I should give credit to Doson for actually Stumbling this blog. I can’t fabricate any other situations where I made blog achievements, so I’ll leave it at that!
I think everyone knows by now my favorite part of a blog is comments. My typical annoying blogger friends, T3ck, Omar, Doson, Suprarationality (or Gemma), and Peter P visited at first to comment regularly (kind of). Definitely provided some comments and screw ups where I giggled. Like “PlaySation“, was funny, cause I started off reading the comment as serious and then once I realized the typo I started giggling & smh. Also, I swear I needed a translator for half of Doson’s comments, but eventually I figured it out once I obtained the Doson translator! And I think he insulted my blog content and made an innuendo type comment. Then I kept getting criticized for my long blog post by him and Gemma, so I triiied to shorten it down some…didn’t work all that much. Then someone besmirched my bookshelf, soooo lucky the comment was hilarious. I’m used to jokes but sometimes jokes don’t work out, especially if you make typos and duplicate comments lol.
So, I like to thank everyone that has come to this blog. It’s my place to be, I actually hang out here a lot since I’ve added my music page. Thank you, and I hope you have or will enjoy the blog. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some other blogs to read and some Salmon to eat. The Salmon has bones in it so I have to be extra careful. Oh and I saw Transformers 2 today. Loved the movie, two hours well spent! Bye-Bye
Wait, I have to have a song for this post since I did it on my other blog. This song is called Banquet by Bloc Party,










I knew this blog was missing something after reading it for so long. I wouldn’t say your stats are lackluster. Personal blogs don’t get as many views as other types, being little more than online journals. My highest per-month view count is 610, and I won’t complain!
Anyway, congrats! I hope you’ll do lots more blogging, etc. And I’ll now go play a PlaySation game or something.
(and I never did find that greek insect monster)Thank you, I’m surprised it’s been a year already I thought I had a few months to go.
….and if that’s the case then I really don’t need to complain but it’s not the stats that matter. PlaySation is played out, you should upgrade to PlaySation 3…
(& buy the Do You Need A Therapist? game)PlaySation 3 is expensive! Besides, good games never get old.
By the way, did you see the filesize on that stats image? The “thumbnail” is over 700kb! WordPress has an issue with PNG files that has yet to be solved.
Yeah, I still original Crazy Taxi on PlaySation 2 even with the glitches, the game is fun.
I didn’t notice the file size until you mentioned it! I never noticed this issue before with .png files, I think I’ll change the image to .jpg, since might slow page loading time for some people.
Wow! I just started in November and, from where I’m sitting, your stats seem beyond anything I could ever hope to reach! Of course, it might help if I learn what Digg, Reddit, and Stumble Upon are…
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Oh Jeez, that smiley was supposed to roll his eyes, not stick out his tongue! Now I’m scart2try!
Thanks for stopping by, I’m sure you’ll eventually get more visitors, it’s hard when you’re new to blogging. I recommend being active on sites like Blogged or BlogCatalog, though they aren’t necessary. Also to submit your blog to many blog directory sites, I just started doing that on this blog but on my other blog it seemed to work. Digg, Reddit, and Stumble Upon are usually good if someone else submits your blog post to it. And thank you I’ll try to keep up the
mediocregood work!eye roll, testing….
looks like we can’t eye roll anymore. That’s going to suck when ppl visit my other blog where I’ve used the eye roll before, mainly because sticking my virtual tongue out would not be appropriate or make sense…
Ya know, I’d like to think that I can work with, or at least around, pretty much anything. Even these new smilies!
But without a cheat sheet???
So tell me… was Transformers 2 a true story?
Yes it was, so you’re right it’s not sci-fi(ish-like). Theres an autobot in the parking lot right now.
If I ever make a list of the best blog comments I’ve ever read then “There’s an Autobot in the parking lot right now” will definitely be on it!
You forced me to visit your blog
hahaha..
Happy Blogiversary & I’m sure your blog posts are getting shorter post by post. I hope your blog posts will be a one liner someday. And ya LOL that comment was not really an insult but I think I was forced to LOL..
