I’m back! … kinda.

Hello everyone! I just got back from my vacation in/on Crete, yesterday at 1 in the morning. Today I have over 70 e-mails and over 300 netvibes posts to go through, without counting what I left lying around to take care of when I get back, the (very long and tedious) to-do-list for the next days/weeks, my regular mail, the fact that I have nothing to eat in the house, that my apartment needs dusting and other cleaning, that I haven’t even unpacked my suitcase yet, that all that stuff will need to go in the laundry. But I did manage to get up this morning (at 9!) and shower. Yay for me!

Anyway, I just wanted to note that I’m back in the country and with internet access, but it’ll be a while before I get around to posting pictures or writing out posts about the last 14 days of adventure. But the intention is there – I even made notes along the way! See you then.

I am one year old!

Speaking from the point of view of my blog, I turn one year old today! I originally started the idea and the site on April 21rst, 2008, but the first post went online on April 22nd. That’s good for two reasons: 1 – it makes it a day further away from Hitler’s birthday (April 20th, would have turned 120 this year) and the shooting at Columbine high-school in Littleton (10 years ago last Monday), 2 – repeated digits make people happy and are more easily remembered. Plus, this makes it the same birthday as Lenin, Nabokov, Bettie Page and Jack Nicholson. On top of that, today is Earth Day!

In the last year, I have written an average of 15 and a half posts per month, which have been read by an average of 17 and a half people per day. I wrote more in 2008, but have had more readers in 2009. The length and topic fields have stayed pretty much the same, I think, but I have had three different themes (the actual one being Treba, with 9 widgets). I still very much enjoy having a blog, although the inspiration for post-topics has dialed down a bit and the time is clearly lacking. So lets see what my little Cloud Razors has achieved in the past 365 days:

A total of 5,890 visitors have left 163 comments on my 187 posts. Spam is my most active commenter, though, with a total of 504 annoyances.

I have 25 categories, the top 3 being “Interneted” (29), “Daily happenings” (28) and “Visual” (25). My fave five and PosiPosts should be the ones with the most growth in the future, since they only each have 4.

Top posts of all time are currently “A random list of American food I would totally kill for and dearly miss” (May 2nd, 2008), “Public vent of private affairs” (most recent) and “Symbolism” (April 26th, 2008) – probably because of the picture.

Which also explains my top 3 search engine terms: “sexy kids” (I’m not kidding, it happened 226 times – the world is a sick place), “list of american food” (68) and “not for kids” (55). I wonder what would happen if I took that post out.

There’s always room for improvement! I plan for example to start a new “psycho”-category, going more into my work, i.e. explaining the different disorders or just babbling about life as a soon to be shrink. But what do your requests and wishes look like, dear readers? Any unfulfilled wishes or helpful suggestions? What do you like, what don’t you like? Should I stay with this theme? Should I put in more pictures or write in a different style? Here’s to the the year to come – cheers!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Ok so I’ve decided to try a new appearance… again. It’s just as clean as the one I had until now, only it finally also has the side widgets. I think the lighter background might make it less gloomy, too. Although I do miss the green header, I guess I’ll have to incorporate more color in my text to spruce it up a bit. But I sure do like the font and how it’s nice and neat. What do you think?
