A few people asked about the move from the old site design to WordPress. And yes, The Wife counts as one source of the queries.
The biggest problem with the classic design: search engines had no means of indexing content. In English – unless someone typed the exact URL, as far as the Internet was concerned, samhilliard.com did not exist. Good from a bandwidth conservation standpoint, at least.
Now that many blog entries are indexed, people can discover the site with a variety of search terms at google and other fine search engines.
For instance, below is a small sample of keywords people used recently that led them here.
1) meter – ah, the word count meter.
3) puss – Oedipus, I presume?
4) attack – not sure about this one.
5) 1964 – a great year, a great band.
6) bobbit – is he still alive? is she still alive?
7) remove – the jersey trash joke.
Can’t wait for the November crop.
Almost nine hundred words today. A little more than seven scenes left.
