There haven’t been too many comments lately. Is something wrong? Email me if there is, or post a comment somewhere!
Busy, but not really
I haven’t posted much the last few days. I haven’t been “busy” as such, but pre-occupied. I’ll explain more soon. Meanwhile, I’ll warn you that the very next post will be long.
Comments feed working
I’ve fixed the broken comments feed. The RSS comments feed is at https://stilgherrian.com/comments/feed.
Comments feed broken
You can follow the comments too
It just occurred to me that people reading this website in a feed reader may be missing half the action: the rather excellent comments (and the dodgy ones too). So, a reminder. Apart from the RSS feed of the posts, there’s also a feed of the comments. And if you have no idea what that means, well… I was going to link to an explanation but all those I found were too geeky.
A Crikey-led traffic burst
Writing for Crikey this week triggered an interesting burst of activity.
- Website traffic doubled for a couple of days.
- I was blogged about by Tim Dunlop over in Murdochland.
- People from my past emerged from the woodwork — including Keith Conlon, the man who first taught me broadcasting.
Weird coincidences upped the traffic too:
- Interest in Australia’s new ambassador to Italy, Amanda Vanstone, led more than 400 people to read my posting about Boost juice bars.
- 200 people looking for live TV coverage of the space shuttle landing found my post about the previous shuttle touchdown.
But I’m still getting plenty of folks looking for those goddam Steve Irwin jokes , or discovering how to spell Vodafone.
