I just wanted to point something out ...

Below is a list of keyword searches that have resulted in multiple hits on my blog in the last 500 visits in order from most to least

napoleon dynamite - full circle - tiber river - louisiana state capital - www.earlychurchfathers.com - vatican rebuts euthanasia charge on john paul ii - negative point of homeschooling - dauphine street new orleans church - fullcircle - full circle meaning - steenson - guy with no dating experience - cora and isaac cline - st. teresa of avila catholic church new orleans - psalm 127 introduction - jp2 euthanized - discussion of lord i life your name on high - regain inc. - mcdonalds monopoly truths - ecclesiastic mosaic studios of ireland - 1938 talbot-lago t150 - how to create artificial stem cells - take up your cross and follow me luke 9:23

This points out a few things to me.

1. Fresh topics in the news are important for everyone to post about

vatican rebuts euthanasia charge on john paul ii
jp2 euthanized
steenson

2. My post on a "negative aspect of homeschooling" continues to be one of my most popular hits on this blog. It is a recurring theme. Many people are looking for actual criticism of homeschooling rather than just drinking the cool aid and going forward as if there are no negatigve aspects to it ...

negative point of homeschooling

3. I need to post more on marriage and dating. It is a topic I am interested in and I have written a good bit on it and every once in a while I get a hit on something that I have in scare quotes somewhere. You people need my help :)

guy with no dating experience

4. Local interest is important. This is something I think OpinionatedCatholic does really well. His Louisiana summary and his posting on LSU and Louisiana Tech keep me going back daily.

5. Personal interest items having nothing to do with my Catholic faith or the name of this blog or web site have are about 20% of where my hits come from. Your blog cannot get so focused on a single topic that you forget to let your personality out some. Oddly Napoleon Dynamite is my top persistent hit getter. Others have gotten me more hits in short periods of time but this one takes the cake in keeping people cominn by month after month? Why? Its an image search hit. The moral to that story is simple. Host your own images AND name them well.

Anyway, that is just a quick review of what people have been reading recently on my blog. It is also a quick note for people who blog to review what is interesting to people and ensure that you include something for everyone who might be interested in the things you write about.
