A Quote

"That's art. Where someone can whisk you off your feet and take you away to a different world, and let you witness their reality, their perspective." - PureRage

I promise I'll dig more into this quote and actually use it some day, instead of just blindly throwing it out there as a substitute for writing a real post. But hey, tomorrow's post... I just polished the last bit. It's kind of big. It's good, too. Or at least I think so.

Maybe I'll just use this space to write some generic stuff. So I was looking into the Google Analytics stuff I was running on the site, and I was kinda disappointed at all the generic traffic I was getting. So, yeah, sure, I wasn't expecting hordes of readers, but then again, I wouldn't have minded one or another. But what I found was like... several visits a day, but all "empty" ones. Visit time 00:00:00. I reckoned at first, bloody hell, SO many bots. Then I googled it, and found out that bots indeed never showed up in Google Analytics, and since I reckoned that Google, if any, were awesome at finding out what was bots and what wasn't, they could probably exclude that minority rather easily. So I was confounded. What the bloody hell were these three million no-time visits?

As I found out, when I googled this five minutes ago, blogs and other like one-page sites show up like that. All of those visitors were genuine, but they showed up faulty in the analytics. It gave me a warm feeling for a few seconds, until I realized a few dozen people had already read everything I'd written, then bounced off immediately. Shit. Is it that bad? And then again, two dozen people. Is it that good? Surely not?

This is probably the first post on this blog that's published directly after writing, by the way. The others were always scheduled a couple of days in advance, and many of them thought of and drafted nearly a week before showing up on the blog. I don't know if it works that well. I was hoping it would make the posts a bit more thought-out and planned, as I have had some time to edit and polish them before they were published, while still allowing for a steady stream of posts. I'm not sure if it worked though, since I notice a lot of silly mistakes (like one post referring to something I said tomorrow, and stuff like that).

Anyway. Shit. I didn't think I'd go on like that. Sorry. Normal shit will hit fans tomorrow, as usual.

Oh, and also. I'm going to fiddle around with this layout template soon. Maybe smack some nice photos or artwork into it or something. Scope deviantart and see if there's something tiny I could put in somewhere. It looks too plain as it is, right.
