I passed an anniversary of sorts, but just a technical one. The technical first post on this blog, the auto post when you sign up, was on 11 June 2011. I don’t consider that the start of the blog though. I had another post in June, but that was my version of an About page before I figured out there could be an About page. I don’t consider that the start either.
I had two posts in July, and I don’t consider either of those the true start of this blog. No, the day I consider the start of this blog is 18 August 2011. That’s the day I started posting on a regular basis. I had a dozen posts that month, and that’s not bad. I also started the Scenes From A Morning Drive on 27 August 2011. That was a good month.
So, in case someone noticed anything about my blog in terms of anniversaries, I consider 18 August 2011 the anniversary date of this blog. My first comment, again aside from Mr. WordPress, was from J. Seabiscuit on 27 August 2011 at 5:10 am on Marriage, Love and Understanding. And a mere 4 hours later, on 27 August 2011 at 9:38 am Hellis commented on the first Scenes From A Morning Drive: Part 1 – Tales From Typographical Errors. I already knew J. Seabiscuit, so Hellis was the first complete stranger ever to comment on my blog. Boy, was she creepy. Kidding!
Over the past year, I’ve had search terms galore from people finding my blog, but the top 20 search terms are – well, okay, I’m going down quite far because some terms are so similar, so I’ll go down to 20 times a search term:

I’m the first one to comment on this post too! I AM A GOD!!!!
I knew you were a dude! Because you would have said ‘goddess’ otherwise.
Crap! You’re onto me!
Busted!
Happy early Anniversary! I might not remember to wish you a happy anniversary in August so I do hope you will cleverly remind us when the next month rolls around!
Well, it’s a bit of a gray area, between the literal start, and the first actual post, and the day I consider, and the first actual comment… which of these should be considered the start? Who knows. Let’s eat cake!
I like cake! But I got an eclair at the bakery to have later tonight because I love eclairs and can’t remember the last time I had one and it’s my birthday today!! Also it should go well with the sangria I made and am currently enjoying!
That sounds good. Anything you can stick a candle in and blow out.
When you actually have people Googling you by name, that’s when you can consider yourself a blogging celebrity. Nicely played Mr. Hotspur, nicely played.
I guess so. But how many who googled ‘Hotspur’ were actually looking for the EPL team or the band?
They actually Googled Edward Hotspur, that’s you right? Just deal with the celebrity status darn it.
Yeah, Edward Hotspur, but just ‘Hotspur’ not necessarily
Hmmm – I can learn from this. *memo to self* Tag future posts with sorrow, misery, suffering, woe is me, and anything else I can think of to attract the many unhappy people who use searches …
Do you think you will be reaching a bloggoversary, a bloggaversary, or a bloggiversary? I prefer the latter. It is closest to the ‘anni’ one.
Read my reply to Sandy – looks like ‘mess’ might be more appropriate.
Oh, and all the sadness searches, including the ones in Russian and Arabic, hit the same post. And that post is my second most viewed, soon to be first.
Haha. Here goes my comment. I wonder what the infatuation is with sorrow? Jeesh!
I don’t know why so many people seek it, but I wrote a post dealing with it.
Also, waterfalls, hot chicks, unicorns pissing rainbows and Lena
And the unicorns… LOL *Headshake.
And rainbows and glitter and Hello Cthulhu
Happy premature anniversary, if counting from August 18, 2011, and happy belated anniversary, if counting from June 11, 2011!
Thanks. I don’t know which is more proper.
So many sad people in the world…..? One would thought “make money writing porno`s” would have been the no.1, i am just saying that because it has the word “porn” in it. And “Kitchen sex”? Hahaha WTF? Think they are looking in the wrong place for that?
Kitchen sex is actually one of my tags.
Okay, but still. Sadness rules the searches.
Only because of that one thing. If not for that, it would be porn, or glitter, or unicorns or something.
Yes, my thoughts as well. But aren’t there any thing else that can bring happiness, why only search for sadness?
Why listen to anything but teenybopper pop?
Yes, for teens, that might bring happiness, for me, no. I love the good old days music, that makes me happy.
Also, if I had a post called “happiness”, then it would appear on my list. The terms to find my blog aren’t the only terms used. I’m not that important.
Hahaha…..If u say so.
Happy Blog Anniversary!!! Early, but Happy!
Or late, or on time. I just tried to split the diff.
You should do a whole post in spamese…
I’ve not only done that before, but I created poetry with it.
