mburbank Actually, I will as part of the overall site redesign.

Oh, and Eric, your information was as always most enlightening. I just don't know what to do with it. But whenever I am 'stymied' by my lack of understanding internetwise, you are the first person I think of.

kahljorn couldn't you just have a blog on cracked AND i-mockery?
Jul 31st, 2007 06:23 PM
Chojin I was dispensing useful information and then you just started going on about a blog or something, I dunno
Jul 31st, 2007 09:36 AM

mburbank Todays entry details some things which impair your ability to drive safely even more than drinking and talking on a cell phone.

mburbank In my latest Blog entry, you can find out more about me. Or less, on account of almost nothing I wrote is true.

mburbank I know, huh? And it's only midlife if I'm really lucky. I mean, it's midlife if I live to be Ninety, right? And I only want to live that long if I can either maintain my mental faculties enough to be a huge cranky pain in the ass, or be, like a drooling vegetable huge pain in the ass. Anything in between would fry my bacon. Actually, my main plan is to maintain my faculties, but PRETEND to be getting more and more delusional, so I can do really awful stuff and get away with it.

Chojin Hey, sorry max, just saw your reply in here.

Having a blog in a premier location at cracked would help, but as-is it isn't helping much due to its placement. Having your blog hosted at i-mockery would, true, mostly get the same readers you get here. HOWEVER, if you tie an RSS feed into it (nicknamed Really Simple Syndication), then people can subscribe to your blog and have it delivered to them every time you update.

So, if you host it at i-mock, you get more total readers, and get a higher subscription rate through RSS. Then you move up in rank for RSS feeds, eventually to the point where it shows up on other websites as a big comedy rss blog. THAT'S how you get more readers through a modern blog.

Don't know if the blogging software you use now does rss. A great free one that DOES is Wordpress. Just ask rog to install it on i-mockery for ya. Another benefit of Wordpress is that it'll show you who all is linking to your blog.

Cosmo Electrolux great stuff Max. I left a comment, but recieved an error after posting it. Maybe it'll show up
Jun 19th, 2007 04:51 PM
mburbank And, appropos of this, I have just 'blogged' on the subject of my audience not having made me famous yet.
Jun 19th, 2007 01:11 PM
mburbank Did you also get an error message? I shall alert the staff.

About where it is, RoG graciously has said he would host it, and that may be it's eventual disposition, (Cracked does not pay me as a Blogger, neither did National Lampoon, my former host).

Here's my thinking though, and tell me what you think, as I am fairly ignorant in the ways of the web.

I feel like putting my Blog at I-mock, while it would increase the # reading my Blog, would not increase my overall readers. It would be the same people who already read my other stuff here. If I draw a few new readers at Cracked, that widens my audience, and I use the Blog to make them aware of I-mock.

As it is, I have no real idea of the size of my readership, or what they are like demographically, so it's all shooting in the dark for me. Every now and then through Google I see that somebody has posted something of mine on their 'myspace' page or some such silliness that lets me know that in fact beyond regular posters on this board people are actually reading my work.

If you (or anyone, for that matter) has some sort of handle on how all this works, I'd love feedback. It's not so much the possability of money that fame would bring me, as it is my intense, emotional neediness.

No, it's the money.

And the things I could get with it.

Like helper monkeys.

And girls.

And girl helper monkeys with magic wands.

Chojin Just so you're aware, it isn't normal for blogs to give people an error, even while screening ;< Also, it's really easy to get a freeware program that will make people have to type in a verification code shown on-screen to post - I took my 200 daily spam messages at WiiKitty down to 0, ever, as soon as I did that.

Also, does Cracked pay you to keep your blog there? If not, have you asked Rog if he'd be interested in keeping it as a regular thing on this site? You'd probably get more views - I'd guess from the amount of comments you're getting at Cracked that fewer than 20 people are finding your blog a day. You could also think about posting these entries directly to this forum!
