General Comments and Feedback

I've created this entry to use as the general comments and feedback, if you have general discussion around EK, rather than a response to any posts in this blog.

Thanks.

scary profile

nh is rather concerned that his corporate firewall content filter at work will begin to block examinekey due to recent episodes. I checked against the stats today, and equally, some worrying keywords are finding the site:

1. tied
2. a
3. club
4. is
5. -sex
6. key
7. unlucky
8. Explain
9. persuasion
10. 13
11. gagged
12. -rape
13. what
14. -murder
15. rainmac
16. girlfriend

Fortunatly, they're very low search hits, and most come from the same search phrase (and the - prefixes mean that the user *didn't* want to see results with rape, murder etc..)

I might start putting in some fluffy bunny rabbits and kittens to address the bias.

new genre?

It came up in conversation with someone the other day that EK is quite film-noir, or rather, I said, blog-noir. I quite like that. I hereby coin that phrase ;)

the new readers are tailing off, (ie there are none..) i need new places to advertise or get people reading the concept. i'm going to send it around to everyone at work tommorow, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

hyperegotism

its funny, but once you have a website, you spend more time hunting for people who link to you out of some form of demand for recognisation than you do writing for it

one of my eurochums is linking to me (twice) now.. so that's appeased the hunt for reciprocals for now:

although she'll be back to the UK fairly soon. one wonders if she thought about the brand's lifespan beyond her time out there ;)

in my everquest for finding hypermes, i stumbled across the seven ages of blog.

i like - although i think geeks probably branch out around stage 5/6 and start creating new genres within the blogdom, or experiment a little more (or write their own framework etc.)

i've also realised that i should probably combine my two blogs.. examinekey-chat and webponce-rants, as i'll maybe have more to say that way. it truly depends on if anyone actually wants to listen.

so far...

I've just added a page on webponce.com which has the entire story to date, so for readers who didn't start when we did, its a great deal easier to read forward than skipping around the blog posts (which aren't great backwards, but not forwards).
