World of Meh!

On July 25th, Chris and I will be participating in the Blogathon and are really excited about it.

Some of you might be wondering what the Blogathon is, and here is the answer: it’s where for an entire 24 hours, starting at 6 a.m. PST, we post a brand new blog up every 30 minutes.

Some of you may remember our first theme, a simple black background with a small visual flair. Most of you, however, will be more familiar with our more recent theme. We have been considering a change in our theme for a little while now, and feel that we have finally found something that will work for us on a long term basis.

If any of you are regulars to our blog, you will know that a few months back we created some forums.

Unfortunately we are lazy bastards, and really didn’t do much with them. Sure there were a few posts done, a few people signed up… but it could’ve been so much more.

Thanks to WordPress, we can view what people searched for that led them to our blog. I must say, some of you guys/gals are sick puppies lol

Here are the top search results of all time for our blog (yes, I know that it’s not as many results compared to most blog sites but we are still growing):

On the backend for World of Meh’s WordPress, we have installed a statistics plugin that gives us a daily unique hits graph, top articles, top pages, and many other little tidbits of information.  By far, the most interesting, and hilarious information it provides are the top searches that result in finding our little piece of the pie.  It speaks volumes to the quality of content that one can find here at the World of Meh.  Allow me to present you with my favorite example today:

On Monday’s post, I said:

“One post per day still going strong.”

And then we missed Tuesday’s post.  Doesn’t that just make us look awesome.  There were extenuating circumstances, however.  We swear!  We discovered on Monday night that we had some legal issues to take care of by this morning, and yesterday was spent scrambling.  With everything that’s been going on, unfortunately yesterday’s post slipped our minds.  Sorry.  There will be more details about the situation sometime this week.

This is our 100th post on the World of Meh.  Our inaugural post was December 27th, 2008.  In less than three months, we’ve posted up 100 pointless articles about random crap that nobody cares about!  What a wonderful contribution to society we have provided!

We’ve had a long and (for the most part) bad day, with various events happening that have just been kind of overwhelming.  We’ll just call this a throwaway post to maintain our one post per day streak.

Sorry, and thanks for understanding!

-Because I said so

On Sunday Chris and I went browsing through WordPress Themes and came across this (amongst others). I personally started to get a little sick of the all black background and the silly looking decoration near our blog name. It didn’t make any sense because it had nothing to do with our topics or the feel we are going for.

Oftentimes, people will have inquiries that are more common than not.  These inquiries, more often than not, will be presented to a person of supposed authority on the subject at hand, with the assumption that they will be able to provide an answer to the inquiry.

We have received one such inquiry.
