State of the blog - April 06

So here I am, one month into this thing they call blogging. I thought it was time to take it back "old school" all the way back to the end of February and talk about how things have changed since I began blogging all those many many days ago. I know it's hard to remember all the way back, but at least try.

So the fianc is still the fianc, although this blog did give her a new nickname, and we're getting closer to the wedding date as we speak. Only 19 more days. I can't wait! It seems like it is coming up so fast but also like it is taking forever to get here. So much to do and so little time.

I've earned a total of $1.39 with my AdSense ads...I thought this money was just supposed to roll in? It would probably help if I would let people know about my blog...but I still don't think I'm quite ready for prime time, so I toil away in virtual anonymity.

I have had several visitors, and one link from technorati. It seems my post "Holy Exploding Condiments" got some attention. And someone actually clicked on the link! My first visitor that was not my fianc or that didn't get here by hitting "Next Blog."

It seems at times that I just end up writing about American Idol and 24, although outside of the wedding and preparations, it seems that is all I have time for these days. But you know, just how many more idol and 24 blogs does the world need?

Yes, after this month, I am still trying to find my niche...and it seems like the "Unnamed Blog" name will stick. I have registered www.unnamedblog.com and it's all mine. Just don't know what to do with it yet. I know I need an upgrade to the graphics, so that will be coming soon, but once I move to the real domain, I want to be able to have this thing downpat, so that I can hit the ground running and really get something going.

So I guess, what this has really shown me in the past month and some-odd days is that I can do the writing, I can have at least something to talk about, and I can do it while still holding down the full-time job (boo).

So the wedding and all the hoopla surrounding it will be over three weeks from now, and I can settle back down into real life and see what I can make of this thing. I think it's time now to try something a little different...I just don't know what yet. But I will figure it out. Because soon, we will rule the world.

That's it! More tomorrow....
