Insane Random Ramblings

Here’s  some random ramblings for ya:

1. This blog is only 8 months old and it’s my 2nd most popular blog out of my 4 active blogs. This blog gets less than 100 visitors per week. I’m trying to slowly change that to 100 per day. Baby steps though.

2. I still haven’t figured out how to use Stumble Upon to my advantage. I wrote a post about how some people are misusing the system. They’re stumbling posts that shouldn’t be stumbled. Anything to get traffic I guess.

3. I need to network more. With a full time job and school plus blogging, it’s pretty hard. I do have a handful of blogs that I visit several times a week. I just don’t leave comments or anything like that. I guess I have to change that soon.

4. I changed the title of my ramblings posts to my blog name. I had named it something else but then I figured that my post would rank high for someone elses keywords. I guess it’s good that I’m finally taking SEO into account when writing my blog posts.

5. I wish Pitt offered accelerated classes.  If there were accelerated classes offered, I could take 1 class now and 2 in the fall in 8 week increments. That is an option at other local universities so I’m not sure why Pitt doesn’t offer them. I know it would help me out immensely.
