I’m always tickled at how much my blog traffic goes up when I post adult stuff. It really is true that sex sells. hehehe. However, lately some folks have felt left out. It is not intentional. You just probably missed the original post about my intentions. I get a few reoccurring questions about the restricted side of the blog so I thought I’d take a moment to answer them here.
1) Why do you hide parts of your blog?
Expecting to have absolute control of an open medium is ridiculous however, I do not feel the need to shock my family or coworkers about the more explicit parts of my life. It is for this reason and this reason alone that I restrict certain posts.
2) I’m confused, I’m a subscriber but I can’t see anything new.
Being a subscriber means you get an email every time I update the public side of the blog. Being a registered user allows you to see the restricted parts once I upgrade your user level. If you register, you’ll get a personal email from me asking you to identify yourself if I don’t already know who you are. Nothing overtly revealing just a sort of cyber introduction. This also assures me you are not a sp@mbot looking to do harm.
3) How do I know if I’m logged in?
There are a variety of ways however, the easiest is to bookmark my log-in page. When you load the link it will take you directly to the log-in page or straight to the blog dashboard if you are already logged in. Then it is just a simple click to load the blog.
That’s it. Nothing sinister or secretive really. Just a few simple precautions. If you don’t wanna see the explicit stuff, don’t register. (Wait, who am I talking too? lol) I also got an incredibly sweet compliment from one of my new readers the other day. He said my blog was incredibly organized for so much content. I’ve seen what a hatchet job of html can look like so I do make an effort to keep it simple and easy to navigate. I still haven’t quite added everything in yet. And as many of you know, I’m always tinkering w/the layout and plug-ins so it is a work in progress. Feedback is always welcome.
As much as it pains me, duty calls and I’m off to work. The fourth of July was a nightmare of course. Everyone acts so surprised that people “gasp* were setting off fireworks. It is also amazing how many people try to justify calling 911 for a noise complaint. Sorry to disappoint you but, your desire to sleep is not a city-wide crisis. It could be disconcerting or even upsetting but it is NOT a 911 call. Ok, I’m done venting.
