WordPress

Thursday at 2 pm

WordPress.com recently shared new ways at looking at site stats. From what I see, Thursday is my move viewed day and 2pm is my most viewed time.

Interesting.

I don’t know why this is. Also, I can only see the top day of the week and the time. I don’t see what is second, third. I don’t see the numbers; I only see percentages.

So, I’m curious if this is legit and if I can take advantage of this. Perhaps save my best for this time slot. Perhaps continue my plans from before. I have this feeling that Thursday is historically the day I post the least on the blog, so this is all surprising.

2 pm is not as surprising. Lunch time reading, I guess.

We’ll see how things play out now that I see these numbers. I might make an effort to post something on this time and day from now on. Maybe I don’t give a f. We don’t know.

Fellow WordPress users: What day and time is your best viewed? Let me know!

“You’ve Received 200 Follows On DALANEL”

I’ve said in the past that my favorite group of followers are from WordPress. So, when WordPress told me I hit 200 followers, I was happy.

In total, DALANEL has over 1500 followers when you add up Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and Tumblr. Yet, WordPress continues to be my favorite, even though it’s not the biggest. If I’m adding correctly, this is 4th largest.

I want to thank each of you for following this blog, no matter where you are; but especially to the WP followers. Considering that the blog’s birthday is a couple of weeks away, this is a nice present. Thanks!

Keep blogging!

Monday Motivation: Talk to someone new

It’s time to make a new friend today or this week. Maybe there’s a co-worker you don’t know much about. See if you can strike up a conversation. Get some new perspective in your social circle.

I know I gotta get in on this. I rarely talk to people so this will be an adventure for me. Even a simple hello to someone you see around but never really talk to is good.

Even on the internet. I’ll take it. Comment on this post and talk to me. I got you.

The point is to make a new social move today. Different. Fresh.

Now go.

Why my WordPress followers are my favorite

Oh Lord, what did I do!? I don’t look at my followings from various places as my kids. I do have a favorite following.

Huh, I guess I do look at you all as my kids. I know for a fact my baby sister is the favorite of the three of us. My parents deny it; but it’s true.

I guess my favorite kid is WordPress. Ya know, when I first joined WP and was trying to understand terminology, I came across publicize. You could connect your social media accounts to the blog. Apparently, the blog used at least the numbers from Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook as well as the blog itself as to give one number: You following. At least, that’s how I figured it out. When I put in the “Follow Blog” widget, when I check the little box to show the number of followers, I noticed it was bigger than the blog’s actual following. After doing some math, that’s how I came to my conclusion. I just wonder why G+, LinkedIn, and Path aren’t a part of it. But, whenever I talk about my following, I mention each of those areas in publicize.

ICYMI: Read Team DALANEL’s first posts

Team DALANEL made their debuts this past week. Let’s recap as I share some of my thoughts on each post.

First, Dallas T took over Dante’s Opinion for the week as she answered a question.

The article is here. I’m not going to copy and paste all she said. Basically, there was a friend with a dilemma: Her friend made one of those comments where you get the sense they were just talking for attention. The friend tried to investigate the situation but was met with a brick wall.

Dallas ultimately said to give said person their own space and, if the person is ready to let you in, then he/she will. I can agree with that. Maybe she used that tweet as a means of venting but, didn’t want to actually talk about it. Or, perhaps she talked to someone else about it. Or, like I said, it was just a ploy for attention. If I were in that situation, I would probably say what Dallas said: “You know you can talk to me about anything and i’ll be here for you.” Indeed, that’s sometimes the best we can do.
