Popular blogs are the ones that talk about money with the words frugal and mean, followed closely by crafts and sewing and making nick nacks for next Christmas in January from a used cracker. I could talk about spending money in the same way that they talk about saving it but that would be viewed as showing off. Ways of saving money with personal glowing examples is not showing off? How to enjoy life with a used bowl with a food mark that can be scoured off with a piece of steel wool and re-stained with an onion skin.
Spend spend spend. If I write about the tranche of shares I am buying people run off down their burrows snarling with hate. If I say I am buying the same money's worth of antiques as the shares some people would be vaguely interested and there would be adoration of the magi if I added a bit of bullshit history surrounding it.
If I say the cat is sick over my slippers a lot of people would think it was interesting and I would personally think it was too boring to write about and I would get 500 or more page views.
If I impart information about something I am doing I am doing just that, imparting information, but it is taken as an open invitation to give lectures and advice about how stupid I am, should reconsider, the plan is wrong, I will lose money, I am crazy.
If I write about football and it isn't the World Cup and it doesn't come with a map showing the location of Manchester and illustrating the Liverpool Manchester Ship Canal with a blue line and the history of the Industrial Revolution I get 79 page views in 12 hours and one comment.
If I made a New Year's Resolution it would be to tell you nothing, but luckily, or stupidly, I don't make them.
No more comments please, it seems like the wrong end of the stick has been picked up by some later commenters who seemed to think it was about comment numbers and one blogger even went so far as to tell me how to get more. I deleted that comment. I was offended.
