cherry on top
Quite a few people have been interested in why I moved my blog over to WordPress. There are several reasons, the biggest one being the more professional look their templates offer. I’d still like to have my own unique site someday, but in the meantime this is definitely a step-up from what it was.
WordPress has a lot of great qualities that I love, and today I discovered the cherry that tops them all off. WordPress lets me see what people Googled that landed them on my site. The list of odd searches had me laughing.
- styrofoam sheets
- medicated grit
- banana and ocd
- children neck pillow
- nicknames for cherish
- yacht for god’s glory
- few things are worse than being in a hug
- impeccable french accent
- almabrilho mindie
I don’t quite understand how these searches resulted in visits to my website, but hey, I’m not complaining. I’ll take any and all traffic I can get, even the accidental kind. I do apologize to any disappointed Googlers out there. I hope you found something worth reading even if it had nothing to do with what you were looking for.
two of my weird ones today:
–find boy or girl
–girl stares at you and looks away.
?????
i don’t get it.
I’ve got some ideas for your blog…ive gotta nail down when we can talk about it…are you coming out here?
and I wish I got interesting searches…guess Im gonna have to do a post on going commando. lol
mine are normal
todays searches
sm lockridge 2
victorylp1 2
maundy thursday service 2
s. m. lockridge 2
glory of it all lyrics 2
“old hymns” 2

and how could I not be listed as a friend who blogs on your site..
you need a section for super special friends who knew you when you were still drinking from juice boxes. lol
mandy – “girl stares at you and looks away” — that’s awesome! ha.
joel… i mean, super special friend – sorry about that slip-up! you’re on the list now! i don’t think we’re going to make it to ri on this trip… maybe we can chat online? and yeah, you need to do something to spice up your search-hits.
Aw man, that would be cool to see what brings people to my site. However, that would be one more draw to my internet addiction. Must. Walk. Away. From. Computer.
talia – i bet you’d have some GREAT ones.
Oh this is great. And I think you’re right … just that is enough to make me think of switching over. Not that I get that much traffic anyway, though. I’m wondering if Natalie will be able to resist the urge. Should we give her … three weeks? haha.
‘impeccable french accent’ had me laughing out loud. And a close second was ‘yacht for god’s glory’ …don’t show Niel!
PS I have word press too, how do you see what people googled that landed them on the site?
OH!!! if you DO get to Rhode Isl, can you hop on over to Massachusetts as well?
;)

Didn’t take me long to make the switch :)
kel – i know! i laughed about the french accent one, too. and niel would totally “amen” the yacht one.
would you like a croissant? hehe
ha ha! that made me laugh, hannah. i read it just like we say it.
Tim and I also love using wordpress. In fact just the other day we had 2 random people at separate times in the day say, “hey your Jamie right.” when I respond yes, they said, “I thought so you don’t know me but I read your blog all the time.” So apparently they found us from a google search and are also missionaries here in Chiang Mia Thailand. Small world eh. It made me wonder how many random people read our blog that we have never met
I love wordpress too, for the exact same reason!!!
Most of my traffic comes as a result of people searching U2. I posted one, short blog about U2 in 3D and now I get TONS of traffic to that one short post. Too funny.
