(or): WordPress, you are making annoying changes that nobody asked for and nobody wants…
If you read the post I did yesterday, you might just learn a thing or two. No… not from me… that is just crazy talk… you have to read the comments that other people made to actually learn anything… Once again I was just trying to be funny, and once again I learned a thing or two.
I was just making a joke about the fact that I seemed to be having a lot fewer visitors to my blog over the last week, and wondering if I was doing something wrong. And then the comments started coming in. And it seems that everybody has been experiencing a drop in the number of visitors. And people who know a lot more about these magic computer machine things than me started looking around and figuring things out. And guess what?
It turns out that once again WordPress took it upon themselves to make changes. Changes that make things worse for us, not better. These changes have something to do with the search engines that help people find your blog.
Why would WordPress make it so that fewer people are visiting us? Does this make any sense? If you were here a couple of weeks ago, you might remember that I tried to start a revolution over other changes that WordPress has made. Changes that almost nobody liked.
It is time to ignite the flaming beavers of revolution once again!
Pouring My Art Out 
ahhhhhhh……….i see you play drums too……
A man of many talents.
‘biro phoneseks’…….my most favouritest search engine term that found me
What the ???
it was from indonesia if i recall….i tried searching it myself but i couldn’t find me……..
alrightythen
OK what is going on here? Do we need to call in the riot police? AND who said you could use the beaver symbol for your revolution? Don’t you know the beaver is on the Canadian nickel? OK, OK folks, move along, nothing to see here – unless of course you want to join the revolution! Ask them to stop changing things would you?
I have permission to use the beaver from an actual Canadian. In fact he suggested it. That is why I put it on the flag. So I am covered morally and legally.
Which Canadian would that be? Not Le Clown. Quebec keeps trying to separate from Canada, so can you call someone from Quebec a real Canadian? (tongue so far in cheek it’s almost coming out through my cheek) Besides I think I’m older than Le Clown I think, so my vote counts more than his!
A guy name Trent Lewin… you have to go back to the old revolution posts to see the whole conversation. It is spread out through the comment boxes, and it was pretty funny.
Trent Lewin here… Indeed I gave permission for the use of the flaming beaver in this righteous cause, and I am full-blooded Canadian (Ontario variety). Speak not ill of Le Clown fellow, he likes Star Wars AND the Montreal Expos. If I weren’t married…
I speak no ill of Le Clown, I wouldn’t dare! But really, the Montreal Expos?
Ha…
I know what you mean… not about the Expos… but the married thing…
Gulp. So you mean when someone searches for “humback camels” they won’t find me anymore? I find that quite disconcerting…
I don’t know… is that a tech support question? I am a computer moron, remember.
Good point.
sigh…
After 2 weeks of search engines doing nothing for me I get 89 people today looking for pictures of garbage trucks. I mean, it’s not exactly what I intended my blog to be about but it’s nice to see search engines are actually working again, for now.
That is how I found you… I was searching for garbag… ha!
That was fun. My toaster never disappoints me. It’s the only tech-doodle that I trust.
mmmmmm… toast…
other than you’ll probably get more followers
I got that, even though it did sound like you contradicted yourself…
yes i realized that after the fact…lol
Well you fixed it right away. That was nice.
you’re welcome 😉
You are on top of things.
i am
That’s what I said.
said what
That you were on top of things… but maybe I spoke too soon… ha!!!
i know i’m so on top of things i’m able to mess with your brain and make you explain things when i didn’t need it….bazinga
really? Messing with me is now some kind of challenge? Like it is hard to confuse me? You are setting the bar low.
am i?
Maybe…
make you’re site into a .com site rather than a wordpress.com site, it’s really cheap and easy, you would probably then get more visitors. it won’t affect your following in anyway.
Can I put adds on and make bbodles of cash???
yes i will be adding add to this blog soon and i have them on my website…it takes time though to make $ i haven’t made much yet
I have mixed feelings about adds. But I could sure use the money.
check out buckwheatsrisk.com, you’ll see words in red with a red dotted line under…those are actually adds so it’s tasteful and and if you hover your cursor over them then the add pops up, also at the bottom of my pages..then there are other kinds as well, let me know if you’re interested, i’ll help you where i can…
I did… but I didn’t see the adds… I saw an awesome post though…
you didn’t see words in the post that were red and underlined?
thank you
I went back… I still don’t see them.
weird, i can see them, are you messing with me??
No… maybe they work on the .com site but not in wordpress…
you can’t see them on my website? it’s a .com site
But I am looking at it in the wordpress reader. Maybe there is something they do to change it. You know… like they do… You should ask some smart people.
you were probably looking on behindthemask, not buckwheatsrisk.com
Oh… I am just clicking on the link above the comment box… yeah… that’s it… hold on, I will try typing the wheat thing in the search bar thingy.
wheat thing….lol
You knew what I meant.
now today is tomorrow and i totally forget the conversation!
Then I win by default.
pft
I accept your surrender…
okay… I see them now. Same post more or less… Okay, maybe I should buy my doamin name and go global…
oh good!
it’s cheap and it gives you more options. i would suggest you pay the $8 extra to protect your personal info.:)
I have been meaning too… even though I can’t spell domain…
lol! there are other ways once you have a .com site that you can generate an income too, but it takes time.
Time… is on my side… yes it is… baby…
sounds like you might be serious about it…
Me… serious? Are you serious?
sure
Seriously???
The guy on the right looks like a monkey
Hey now… those are our revolutionary forefathers, the ones that kicked the crap out of those overbearing, red-coated bast… oh… nevermind…
No worries, I like monkey’s
Me too.
I’ve seen documentaries with American lady’s who keep pet monkey’s. They make them wear lipstick and baby doll dresses though.
So demeaning for a boy monkey
We are a bunch of freaks over here in the colonies…
I could be moving to the colonies, I won’t work, I am being sent to govern by the queen herself
Do it… and don’t forget to rule justly!
Awwe really? 😦
I was planning on ruling with an iron fist and overseeing a tyrannuos reign, or a tyrannosaurus reign, whatevs.
Then you run the risk of having the flaming beavers turn on you!
They would be my army
I like you positive outlook.
No! Not the flaming beavers, a fate worse than death.
Well don’t try petting them.
Not when they are working.
Really? Dammit. I guess that explains it. I just thought everybody hated me.
Nah… not everybody…ha!
