The changes they made to the search engines are the reason fewer people are visiting your blog.

Pouring My Art Out 
It’s Google
I found that out in the end…
I’m done rebelling against WordPress… they’ve brought me to my knees. Luckily they don’t know where my knees live!
On a less humorous note (probably a quaver), it’s not WordPress that’s at fault on this one, but Google who changed their search algorithms. Some of the bloggers who are suffering most are those of us who post a lot of images. A friend, Timethief, wrote about their images changes, here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/01/google-image-search-redesign-raises-ire/
sigh… I do this all the time. I run amok. I go off half cocked. I fly off the handle. I get carried away. Somebody said something and I just ran with the rumor.
So now I can either apologize to WordPress and try to get people stirred up about Google, or I can… squirrel…
Going off half-cocked is better than going off no-cocked. (I am now certain I will regret saying that. Now your posts will be all over Google like a rash and I will get more of those comments that Akismet loves that say “great article you got haven’t you seen SEO trubuchet you could improve sothat much more.)
Never squirrel. You never know what it’ll do to your nuts.
I did a post way back warning people about the danger of crack squirrels, but people thought I was joking. Now simmer down… this is a family friendly environment…
Just kidding… that was funny…
Wait…I’m so behind. What the hell did they do to the search engines?
Oh man. You need to go back a week or two if you want to follow the whole story of the revolution and the flaming beaver. I don’t know what they did to the search engines, but people told me they did something.
I’m actually getting used to the changes & I have so little traffic on my blog anyway, the numbers don’t make a difference.
A lot of people didn’t want to rebel against England when out revolution started. They were called royalists. They were quite happy under British rule.
I’m from Canada, so we didn’t rebel against the British!
not yet… ha!
Amen! Thank you I’m not the only one bothered by this. I made a post about this a time ago. http://blyertssmuts.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/what-the-eff-wordpress/
I saw it. Good post. I have done about 12 posts over the last few weeks. But people just don’t get worked up about this stuff. If was a hamster on a piano, people would care.
It must be a marketing ploy to urge people to pay for their blogs.
ooooohhh… I like the cynicism.
I’m adding your blog to Stumble right this minute so you get some more traffic!
I think I tried to do that in my settings, but who knows?
I left here and logged in to my Stumble acct. then slapped one of your posts in; I hope you get some traffic.
You rock…
but of course.
Indeed.
Woah I had no idea this happened – how did you find out?
Because I ask the stupid questions to the smart people. Now what are you doing to the unicorn in that picture? I am fairly sure that is illegal in 27 states.
I obviously took the photo in a state that has looser laws on animal rights lol. Oh wordpres :S
Sorry… there was a smudge on my glasses… it looked worse than it really is… I did a funny unicorn post once with some really weird pictures…
Are they really going to listen?
Home, the English are too many.

I have to paint myself blue first.
