Life is strange. I never know why most of my visitors are visiting my blog. I do know I have a handful who have been reading it since 2006, beyond that, the reasoning behind the things my viewers and subscribers click on are outside of my understanding. It would be hard for me to take a whole lot of credit for most of what is happening on this blog in the last year or two; things on the interwebs are odd: lots of re-blogging/re-vlogging/re-posting/rehashing of information. And I do not want to give the wrong impression; I am not against any of these things, and do them simply because I, too, enjoy doing so. But the fact is that my enjoyment of it has grown my "viewership," which is totally different than readership.
See, I go to people's blogs to read, not really to view vlogs--I save that experience for YouTube, which I am on lots. But blogs I am fond of because of the fact that I get "to read," and have always enjoyed doing so. I have a Tumblr, but find it hard to keep up there because it is mostly about rehashing (which is fun!) pictures. After I've had my fill of food porn and cute animals, my interest wanes and I find myself checking my email for updates from people's blogs or hitting up Twitter or YouTube for more personable exchanges and intimate world news.
And that's all any of it is: exchange.
And like with anything else we humans enjoy, we all have our preferences. And if that preference leads someone to my page, then I am willing to roll out the red carpet.
So, hello to my newer "viewers" and my throw-back readers!
Welcome to MissNikkiAnn's House!
