To post or not to post?

That is the question....

There is a general vibe of "I don't heaps feel like posting" in the blogosphere lately.

Some have pointed to the increased use of Facebook.
Me? I think I'm just lazy... and time-poor.

Of course there are the seasoned warriors who will carry on regardless - always with something insightful to say and full of new and creative ideas.

And occasionally there is a fresh face who brings a wealth of wisdom and thought-provoking gold.

But what about me? Should I carry on with my not-so-insightful observations, sporadic whinging and occasional photo? Shall I make a renewed effort at self-publication (hopefully with more vigour than before)? Or shall I let this blog, with a mere 3,026 page views, fade into obscurity like so many other pieces of forgotten internet flotsam?

I leave it up to my gentle readers....

ahh... the memories!


A significant milestone like 1000 hits brings out the nostalgia in a blogger.

What an ideal opportunity to reminisce about my time in the blogoverse and carry out some 'analysis' on my blog posts to date.

This is my 43rd post. Of these, the most frequent subject is holidays (mainly due to photos) followed closely by Coffee-related and Christian-related posts. Poo makes up an astonishing 5% of all my post topics. Some would argue that closer to 100% of my posts are poo.

I have had a total of 182 comments - 60 of these are my own. That's 32.97%.

I have averaged 4.33 comments per post from an average of 3.36 commenters. 2.31 of these comments per post were made by me.

In terms of popular topics to comment on, 'Coffee' received 70 comments, 7.78 per post on average, from 4.22 different commenters on average. The single 'Beer' post got a good run, with 9 comments from 4 different commenters. 'James Bond' did OK too for his only appearance - 11 comments, 5 commenters.

My posts peak in June and October - 9 and 10 respectively.

The most popular day for posting is Thursday with 18, double the next highest, Wednesday, on 9. Sunday is the quietest with only 1.

Does all this tell me anything? Maybe not. But it was fun!

What do you think I should do with this information?
What other analysis would you like to see done?
