I’d written at least a good chunk of a blog post about the dark underside of my current Google Analytics obsession, when suddenly Internet Explorer died. And I remembered, once again, that actually typing blog entries in the stupid boxes provided by blog software is a really stupid idea, leading only to misery and heartbreak. Much better to type them in Notepad and then paste them in, much like I’m doing now.
Now, it just remains for me to decide whether to try and reproduce my deceased entry or go off on a whole new tangent…
Well, I’ve only had one hit on my webcomic, Behatted, today, which is… something I shouldn’t really care about, especially as it is the weekend, not often a busy time for the internet. And also as I’ve done very very little advertising, outside of my own Facebook and Twitter accounts.
To be honest, I think I need to try and take the weekends off from panicking about this kind of thing. I’m feeling stretched thin enough with the pressure to work all day at my office, then come home and mastermind global hat-domination. If I spend all weekend hyper-ventilating about web statistics, I will be unlikely to even stay ahead of my hat comic backlog needs.
Plus, lest we forget, I was meant to be editing one of my novels, a mission that has been a little neglected in the last couple of weeks in my bid to get Behated up and running. So, in the name of simple basic sanity, I think I’ll give the panicking a rest for a bit and try to have a nice quiet weekend of typing and wandering.
I’ll be honest, I’ll probably still check the analytics every so often, which may make the last bit pretty redundant, but it’s worth a shot.
And that’s at least a small blog entry worth of typing. I’ll try and do one about something else at some stage this weekend, lest people think I do nothing except obsess about hats nowadays.
