My Triple Secret Life as a Blogger

Why is it Triple, you ask? Because my double secret life is a blog hunter, and I can't use the same name twice. Why the Secret? Because I doubt anyone outside of our class knows that this little web page exists. Do I mind (and do you mind that I'm asking questions to which you could have no answer for)? Not really, (and I hope you don't, either).

I don't mind the lack of traffic for several reasons:

1. The unfortunate diary format: I'm going to be honest with you right now- not that I haven't been in the past. Just super honest. I know that I had promised earlier never to randomly complain about me, me, me, me. Unfortunately, I seem to have strayed from that point a bit and, looking back, find that many of my blogs contain whining and grumbling (I was going to complain about my weekend originally in this post, and plan to do it later if that doesn't give you more proof of my promise-breaking). So I'm glad that more people don't read this because frankly, it's shameful. I need to follow my own advice, take my Barnes and Noble gift cards, and buy myself a diary. But then what would I have to write about? Maybe I should just bite the bullet and say my blog complains a lot, like this lady. But I'll try to hold out just a little longer.
2. The temptation of advertisements: If my blog was extremely popular throughout the world, I would get greedy. "How could I make the best out of this convenient situation?" I would ask myself, rubbing my hands together like that old miser with the bulging eye. And I would probably begin to notice how easily I could link advertisements to my website, and how easily I would be able to make a little bit of money. But because I have only had 69 hits on this site in four months , I am not tempted to put annoying pop-ups and other distractions on this page. Lucky you!
3. No pressure, eh? Exactly the way it sounds. If one of my posts is terrible, oh well. Blogging gives me space to try out new techniques, share my thoughts and opinions, etc. If people don't like it, they will either let me know or not comment at all. So it's all trial and error, letting me attempt to be creative without worrying about a grade. Just a word count.

Maybe someday I'll feel differently and want more of an audience. For now, though, I'm content sitting back, poking around, and living double and secret lives as blog hunter and blogger.
