Liberty's Blog

Liberty's Blog had an excellent month in May. June is off to a great start also. Two things seem to have helped in this.

  • 1: The new Blogger, It just indexes better, some hits are about people curious about it. It also allows me to post better formated stuff easier.

  • 2: Atom feed. I have to confess. I never understood what the big deal was. Kuff gently prodded me about an RSS feed, and I took him up up on it with my atom feed. I subscribed to Bloglines and it all fell together. I have quick access to a bunch of blogs, and I get my post out to a lot of bloggers. Kuff has also been very generous about linking to me.


Google is stil very generous to me. I get lots of hits from them. The Jon Matthews Story is getting lots of looksees. I see the blog as a means of providing news that seems to spiked by the the media, as well as a place to talk about my own interest. If the local media did their job, I wouldn't have as much to write about. Local Galveston news doesn't get much coverage, unfortunatly I haven't kept up with it as much as I should. This is something I can work on. I would like to do more on a personal level and about things with a local flavor. Galveston is a pretty nice place, and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm.

Upgraded Complete and successful

Liberty's blog is converted and looking good. I will stick with it for a while. I didn't modify the column width because it would disrupt the lines on the banner. The main is wide enpough anyway. Someday I will attempt to put in a relative three collumn width.

Ive been very happy with the volume of traffic about 30 hits a day for May. Lots of search engine hits. and lots of hits from links. Kuff has been real generous to me, linking me a couple of times. 2 comments and 1 bouquette email. It sure is nice getting these.

What I find intresting is that I'm getting hit very heavy on The JM indency story, there is very little about the court case and the story on the local news sites or blogs. We will see what happens on the 28th.
