As many of you know, I was interviewed for a story in the St. Cloud Times about the wildfires in Southern California. Because, well, I live there. Here.
I was hoping more would come of it than it did. I even updated my website to include a way to email me. I figured that since my blog address was in the article, and I was on the front page no less, I would get more people who I've lost touch with want to email me or something. I know if I saw the article I would totally go to the website and email me.
Well, two people did. Kudos to them; I really appreciate it. Where's the rest of you? You either don't have the internet, didn't get around to it, or plumb don't care about me. Or maybe you thought, "what a chump! He only got in the paper cause his momma works for Gannett!" Well, that's partly true. She was my "in."
Nevertheless, I don't have a way to track my website traffic. Not yet. I really should get on that. Who knows how many more visitors I had because of that article? Maybe a few. Two for sure -- the ones that emailed me. I am most proud of the fact that they printed a photo that I took, put it on the front page of a pretty well circulated paper, and in color to boot.
Okay, enough of that. I think my mom got more attention for it than I did because no one around here really cares, of course.
A thank you goes out to Frank Lee for putting together the story. Thanks Frank!!
Wait, did Frank even bookmark my blog?
