I was going to do a blog post here listing a bunch of my pet peeves. Then I realized that my family and friends would take that list and use it against me. I’d never be able to avoid them. Ack!
So that idea is dead.
Moral of the story: Avoid blogging mistakes by thinking your idea through to its natural conclusion.
I never look at the analytics for this blog, but couldn’t resist checking my most popular posts of 2009. Here they are, becuz I know you’re as curious as me.
That second post — Consumer Reports — was responsible for the single biggest day of traffic this blog has ever seen.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
With Barry traveling and Danny under the weather, I was a blogging madman last week on Search Engine Land. Which meant I never got around to a few things I wanted to write on my own blogs. Those’ll get done this coming week for sure…
I probably would’ve done more blogging this week, but for March Madness. Had to devote considerable time to my online contest (3rd annual, I’m tied for 8th) and then … here’s the beauty of being your own boss and working from home … spent Thursday and Friday with the laptop on a tray table, parked out in the family room watching hoops all day long. It was beautiful.
Not that anyone would notice, but I was smart: I did most of that blogging early in the week before the college hoops started. Gonna try to do the same this week….
With last week’s trip to Portland keeping me busy, I never did a blogging recap, so now I get to look super-prolific by putting two weeks of blog posts into this one. How exciting! 
Look at that … I’m a blogging madman when you see two weeks of posts at a time.
How soon until U2 goes into hibernation again? Goodness. When they go into full active mode, I get next to nothing done … other than posting U2 news on @U2 and U2tours.com. (And Twitter, and our mailing lists, and you-name-it.) I don’t feel like there was much blogging done last week. Let’s see……
I used to do these on Friday nights. Then I did a couple on Saturday nights. And now I seem to be doing them on Monday mornings in the wee hours. Not sure what that means, but it probably has something to do with being so busy over the past month or two.
Since I was gone all last week at a conference, I’ve been debating even posting this … but actually managed to punch out a few posts last night, so what the heck. It’ll be sparse, but that’s okay.
As a Seahawks fan, I’m finding this Super Bowl kinda tough to get excited about. I don’t like either team even remotely. You have the Cardinals, our division rival, and it’s real tough to root for them. OTOH, the Steelers are the team that paid the refs beat the Seahawks three years ago, and I still hate them for it. Hmmmm. What the Steelers did outweighs division dislike, so I’m kinda rooting for the Cardinals tomorrow. But I think the Steelers will win. I’ll say 27-17, Pittsburgh, and hope I’m wrong.
On to this week’s blogging recap!
That’s a good week right there. And I’m not even counting the 17 posts announcing the SEMMY Finalists.
Not even sure I should post this, because I don’t think I did much blogging at all. Everybody at SEL was on vacation during the week, so about all of my time/blogging was done there. I’ll be surprised if the list I’m gonna make has 8 items on it. Let’s see….
Ha! That’s seven. I was right. Just barely. Doubt things will be much better this coming week, but we’ll see.
