I should probably start writing about sex, violence, rock’n'roll, lies and videotape to attract an audience to my blog. But it’s really not my style, and I wouldn’t be getting the audience I wanted either.

It’s interesting to see what kind of information people seek when they search for blogs, though. I’m in the process of working out how to get readers to visit my blog, and I’ve been investigating a little into what’s popular stuff on search engines. It seems Politics is quite popular. And the Life tag seems to be huge on most search engines. But is that because there are so many bloggers writing about life, or is it because it’s what people search for? I haven’t figured that out yet, but I’m guessing the first…

I haven’t seen many extreme tags, not on the surface anyhow, but I guess there are moderators who filter out the trash, especially on places like Technorati. I must add that I haven’t actually been looking for those kind of tags (not yet anyway), it’s just an observation based on a first impression.

Just a couple of days ago, I wrote rather incoherently about my frustration over having to switch from Wordpress to Blogger, and the fact that I liked the templates better on Wordpress. Guess what, I’m not that frustrated anymore! I dug into the matter, and it dawned on me that there are literally hundreds of templates out there to grab for free. I tweaked a little bit on one I found over at Gecko and Fly, and now the design is perfect to me. Thanks, Gecko and Fly.
