Down With This Blog

OK, so I am somewhat miffed. Before my 2-year hiatus from this blog, it had a 5/10 Google rating. When I came back, it was down to 4/10. How it managed to stay that high for two totally unposted years is more than slightly puzzling. However, now that I am back, it has suddenly gone down to 3/10.

Does this mean my blog does better without me posting anything on it? Perhaps I should just shut-up permanently ...

(Is it any wonder after seeing my rating?!).

What's In a Word Word Word ...

Quite a lot actually, at least if you take the initital letters of "Word Word Word" and come up with WWW. Ever since regurgitating this blog I've been somewhat confused as to why sometimes it has a 4/10 Google rating and sometimes it doesn't have one at all and I've finally solved the mystery.

It's quite simple, really. If I miss out the WWW I get my 4/10 rating, but if I add it, it disappears. This is because everybody who links to it links to it without the WWW, which means nobody likes it with the WWW in. Why, What's Wrong with WWW? Doesn't seem anything wrong with it to me.

Anyway, that's enough of Witty Woman's Witterings for now. Things to do, people to not see (I'm a hermit, remember).

Words of the Zodiac

When I wrote the previous post, the idea was to briefly mention my Zodiac Profile and then lead into my idea for a new blog. Unfortunately, I got somewhat carried away and it didn't work out that way.

I am therefore writing a new post to explain my idea for a new blog. The idea is that each day I will choose two words at random from whatever item of published material I have to hand and use them to predict the kind of day everyone is likely to have depending on their zodiac sign. Now obviously this is all very much 'tongue-in-cheek', but I've been writing weekly ones on my humour site for a while now and they've proven surprisingly accurate in many cases.

If you like the idea, especially if the forecast for your sign applies to you, please leave a comment. You can even leave a comment if you think the idea is pathetically stupid (I will cry, but I need the feedback). I also don't know what to call the blog. Words of the Zodiac? Zodiac Words? Witty Woman's Witty Words? No, not the latter, that sounds like a general blog - would have been a good title for this actually, now I come to think of it.

Anyway, please let me know what you think. Here are today's words:


Aries ... STORE - NOTHING
This is obvious enough. You will go to the store to buy something, but it won't be available so you'll leave with nothing. You're obviously not a woman then, because women never leave stores with nothing.

Taurus ... JOKES - LENGTH
Well this is typical Taurus, telling jokes that last forever but aren't actually very funny, especially as you nearly always forget the punchline or get it wrong. Try to tell shorter ones today, OK?

Gemini ... SEVENTEENTH - THIRD-FLOOR
Not sure what to make of this. Your seventeenth trip to the third floor of a building, maybe? Or visiting flat/apartment/hotel room 17 on the third floor? Or revisiting a third-floor you visited on the 17th?

Cancer ... DYING - LAURA
Not sure I should include this one really, but try to look at it positively. Maybe you are dying to get to know someone called Laura better, in which case today could be the day. If not, best forget it.

Leo ... BEDSIDE - SIZE
Strange combination. Are you thinking of buying a new bed? Maybe it's a warning to make sure there is enough room at the side of your bed to get in and out easily. You don't want to get stuck between the bed and the wall.

Virgo ... HUNGER - TIMING
Clearly you have to make sure you eat at regular times today, or maybe time your appointments so they don't clash with mealtimes. Or maybe something will run late and cause you to miss a meal.

Libra ... ARMS - BRANCHES
Well, these two sort of go together, don't they. Today you have to make like a tree and entwine your arms around someone. Shouldn't be difficult, Librans will entwine around anybody who smiles at them.

Scorpio ... OVER - FIFTEEN
Maybe something will finish at 3 pm (1500 hours) - well, school here does for a start, except it isn't a schoolday today. Just make a note of what happens at 3 pm, because it probably won't ever happen again.

Sagittarius ... CARRIES - PARANOIA
Maybe this means exactly what it says, that all Sagittarians carry paranoia around with them and today will be no exception. Does that sound as if I am getting at you? There you are then, you're paranoid.

Capricorn ... BECAUSE - UMBRELLA
You will get wet today because you forgot your umbrella. You can actually stop this prediction coming true with one simple act - take your umbrella.

Aquarius ... TEN - RODE
You will be going somewhere for a ride today and there will be nine other people with you, making a total of ten going along for the ride. That's it, really, although you might like to dwell happily on what you may be riding in or on.

Pisces ... SITUATION - WERE
Were is a funny word really, but it sort of suggests the past, so it looks as if you will be in a situation you have been in before. This isn't unusual, Pisceans are always swimming backwards and forwards.

Missing Link

Why are the main pages of blogs and the profile pages so slow to update? And why on earth would one blog update on the profile page and not the other?

I posted to this blog 7 1/2 hours ago and the post is on my profile, yet the post I made 1 1/2 hours before that to my other blog isn't showing, nor is it included in the number of postings for that blog on the dashboard. I also updated the template of my other blog about 8 hours ago and that change hasn't manifested itself yet either.

Wonder if this one will make it before the 9 hour old one too, or turn-up sometime around Christmas?

Twittering About the Tarot

I started a new blog yesterday, which I have called Tarot Diary (click to visit). The idea is that each evening before I go to bed (or each early morning in my case) I will choose a tarot card at random and discuss various meanings for it in the diary. At the end of the following day (same day in my case) I will report back as to whether or not any of the meanings fit what has taken place.

I'll probably discuss other aspects of the tarot as well, so if you're interested in it, pop along and have a look! You can even earn yourself a free reading if you link to one of my sites (four to choose from!). Now how's that for generous???
