Flesh on the Bones of the Belfast Child

Clever a-n, very clever… Half-heartedly scanning the blogs yesterday I noticed the term, ‘Top 10 blogs’, and sitting up a little in my chair, clicked on it. I was at number three. Hmm, …I thought,… well, this won’t change things, after all, what do numbers matter, I’m merely happy rambling on to myself. But then I looked a little closer,… It’s good to be number three, but where was I last month – not even on the list, but why, …more thought… Ah, Chief blogger, number one Emily Speed pointed people to my blog in one of hers last month. So that’s it – I’m only a number three on the back of the great number one but why should that matter, after all is not a competition is it. Then I began to think, I like number three, how can I stay at number three, and I begin to think tactics. More blogging, more blogging means more hits and that’s bound to be good, but I’ll never beat the great Emily. On Facebook fellow bloggers are beginning to throw taunts at oneanother, threats are made to use titillating images to boost readers and so, the seed is sown, the days of innocent blogging are gone, what have you done a-n, what have you done!
