To all my regular readers and bloggy friends, sorry I’ve been lazy about my blog lately. Not so much the posting, because my inspiration comes in fits and starts, but the reading and the commenting on your fine blogs. I haven’t forgotten you all. It’s just, when I multitask, something always suffers. I finally have my material for the next two chapters of my dog training studies too, so I need to get back on that! Please accept my humble and inadequate apologies, and have patience with your dear Queen.

And speaking of “grown adults,” watching some of the older crowd navigate Facebook is like watching two monkeys try to fuck a football.

Between the support of my friends and family and the new connections I’ve made with my fellow bloggers, I guess my network is beginning to be a little more self-sustaining. Now people searching terms on various search engines often get routed to my blog.
If you have your own blog or website, maybe you have access to a page that tracks your statistics. Maybe you also have access to the search terms and queries people enter that ultimately result in them finding one or more of your articles.
When you tag your posts, you are essentially guessing at what terms people might search and applying them to your posts so that they can be found and get maximum exposure and readership. Some search terms and tags are pretty obvious and/or self explanatory.
