Blogging

change of scene

Creating this blog was an experiment and, somewhat to my surprise, I quite like the concept. So I have decided to host my blog on my Web space over at blueyonder. This isn’t because I think Telewest’s hosting service is any more reliable than blogger (never had any issues at all with blogger) but so I can peruse the Web server logs and referrer statistics that Blueyonder kindly gather for me. The transfer of the blog went surprisingly smoothly and I created a placeholder blog to grab the old namespace on blogger.

According to Technorati, a new Web log is created every second which is an amazing statistic and about 55% remain active which is even more staggering.

The creation of my blog was actually a little experiment to see what all the fuss was about and, secondly, to see how long it would take for someone to wander along and be motivated enough to add a comment to the blog.

I did not publicise the blog in any way (mainly because I haven’t got any friends) apart from adding it to blogger listing and I was curious to see if it would ever generate any traffic or interest.
