Mostly, you post something and unless its a particular bugbear, you just glide off onto other things and forget all about it.
However, the rest of the world sometimes likes to hang about in what you might consider your sleepy backwaters. Here are some of the posts from this blog which have taken on a life of their own- either through regular comments being left or by remaining steadily in the top 10 pages visited.
Brasserie 66: This one was given a new lease of life when comments were left from a number of people with the same IP address saying how nice they found it. Now there is a surge of visitors to the page every weekend- presumably people looking for somewhere to nice to eat.
Sheries, Abbey St.: Viewed 1260 times in the month of March alone. I think it is my lovely prose and beautiful pictures.
Buying the Irish Times: Never has the webfeed seen such a spike in traffic.
The News You Want: Related to above. Readers really want Irish Times related wittering, it seems.
Tesco.com sucks, as they say: Accidentally seems to have become a place for UK and Ireland customers and staff to grumble about failures in training and delivery.
And the evergreen articles from the Tuppenceworth.ie main site.
Really Remembering the Alamo
Water Witching in the Ozarks
The Fall of the Great Republic
Ireland Goes One More Shade Of Green
Zen Minimalism and The Art Of The Capsule Wardrobe
Youth is Wasted On The Young
Watching the Wierd Go By
DirtySomething
Now if only I could combine sex (abroad and at home), Tesco, the Irish Times, some well known phrases and some US placenames in a restaurant review I would have a formidable post.
