October's Best Links
Tuesday, 10.31.06 @ 12:03AM 
October sure was a lot of fun around here! Could November even hold a candle to it? Maybe... I'm taking the kids on a road trip tomorrow. Its their fall break, so they got to select the destination. I'll let you know how it turns out. I have new posts set to go every day while I'm gone; one more reason I'm glad to be with Squarespace hosting now. BTW, if anyone decides to use Squarespace, go through the link at the bottom of my sidebar, and I'll get a referral fee. They let you try it for a month free!
The biggest thing that happened to this site in October was that I started as a contributing editor at Neatorama. I had no clue how much traffic Alex got over there until some of them came over to check this one out! There were more visitors here on October 12th than ever before. Its been pretty good since then, too. The most popular post of the month was Pumpkins, thanks to Eat My Hamster, and I suspect Stumble Upon. Film Festival got more hits, but that was because of Neatorama. I also got some traffic from 25peeps.com, where I put in a good 
showing for a while, thank you all for that! I told you I wouldn't ask you to go click on me anymore, so I am asking you to go and click on Saskboy's photo! Here's what he looks like. And my article "Does My Butt Look Big in This?" was included in an online magazine, WE Magazine for Women. Here are this months links worth saving.

This just in: Last night at about 8PM, I got a visit from someone in Chatsworth, California who was Googling for "halloween rats in blood sauce." That person was my 100,000th visitor, according to sitemeter. Now I don't know how accurate that is, since Squarespace would say I have twice that many hits, and MyBlogLog would say half as many (it depends on your definition of a hit). But sitemeter seems to be the industry standard. I think its pretty neat!

Those ghost pictures gave me the galloping ghastlies.
If people click my picture on my site with my referral link, I get to stay on the front page at 25peeps longer too, they seem to count that as a vote too. http://www.25peeps.com/r/2236
I'm one of only about 3 people with more referrals than votes :-S which says that of people I send there, more click on the "butt cleavage" or something else, rather than me :-D
What does it say?
Congrats on the traffic and the published article! You should be very proud. It's well-deserved!
Today I posted a true ghost story that happened to me over 13 years ago. Stop on over! I think you'll be intrigued. ;o)

This is in Galveston, and I have been up close and personal with that crypt in question, although I didn't see any ectoplasmic activity.
Geez, how long did that take me, like a week?
Happy Halloween!
