Traffic Stats

Signed up with webstat.com on Thurs. I was interested in finding out more about my site and what kind of traffic I’ve been getting recently. I’ve got a referrer script running, but it doesn’t exactly tell me what kind of traffic I’m getting, just some disturbing queries, and many references from Google images, from people looking for Habbo pics… for whatever reason.
Needless to say, the first couple of days were a bit of an eye-opener, and the chart showed me that most of my new hits went for the gaming, cewl, and humour categories, followed by an equal number of requests to my blog, the sex category, and a query for “War of the Worlds Sucks”.

So there you have it. Zuckervati’s blog — as often as sex. The surprising thing is that I’m getting almost 200 hits per day. Not to shabby, considering I thought I was the only one reading this blog.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
