My "Dear" Readers

For all my readers, I have some disturbing interesting statistics about what kind of visitors this blog attracts.

There is a tool in the administration panel for this blog that allows me to see which websites direct visitors to my blog.  If the visitors come from a search engine like Google, I can see the actual search terms they used to find my blog.  My blog has such a vast array of content that despite being about dog rescue,I get many visitors that are looking to get rid of their dogs.

Here are recent search 'strings' that lead to my blog:
"giving away a dog"
"giving away a family dog"
"euthanize a dog by shooting"
"giving away your dog"
"how to save dogs"
"rescue dogs"
"jessica biel puppy"
"old dog vertigo"

There is one nice thing in store for those who find my blog while trying to give away their dog...they often land on this page of my blog, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite (and most commented-on) posts.

peace & love,
jon

The Great Outdoors

I'm working on the look and feel for my new site and trying to figure out which blog software to use.

I like the Typepad service, but it is a bit of an unnecessary expense since I have a web host that I pay for already.  I might as well use a free Blog script like Wordpress or even MovableType (an opensource version of Typepad).  Either way, my blog will be moving to it's own domain.

I now have a surprise for everyone...my first YouTube video featuring ME!
I hope you enjoy it!
