state of the blog address

Hello reader friends, it's time for what I'd like to call the inaugural State of the Blog Address (yes, it's formal, because I like to keep it classy, that's just how I roll).

Here at the Kerry Blog we take things halfway seriously, thus the State of the Blog Address.  And by we, I mean me and my other personalities.  I'd like to tell y'all about some goings on behind the scenes of the blog just in case you find yourself on the interwebs one day, dial up the blog and think you've landed somewhere else.  Typepad has switched me to the new platform and I simply
adore the new  fantastic dashboard, making it easier
to post, save, edit, and tag posts.  If you've thought about starting a
blog, you can't go wrong with Typepad.  They've also introduced new fun
templates, so what's not to love?   But because I'm not the stock-template type, the old blog is getting a makeover, which I alluded to a while back.  That's right, we're taking it up a notch with a blog makeover.  Don't worry, the content will remain irreverent and jocose as always, just with a few cute embellishments.

I thought you might enjoy some stats as part of this address. 

As usual, I'm up late writing.  I took a screen shot of the stat page to show you the recent visitor map which reflects where people are visiting the blog from midnight 'til 12:30 am.  I'm not the only one up late or early for those of you in Europe, India, China, and Australia. 

So, that's 30 minutes of blog time.  I'm always interested in what brings visitors to the blog, so I checked recent keyword activity and here are the results:

 You can click the image to enlarge it, if you'd like.  These are the most recent search terms, so props to good friend, AB, for being the latest search query.  I'd like to know what the people who are Googling "dd real boobs" and "bbw pin-ups" think when they land on this blog.  I can only hope they have a sense of humor, because I don't think they found exactly what they were looking for.  My favorite search on this list is "weird inverted triangle body shape women" because I can't imagine for the life of me what the hell they were looking for.  A week or so ago, the leading search terms on the blog were "bbw pin-ups," "red head bbw pin up," and "pin up situations."  Picture my face when I saw dozens of searches for those topics.  Now picture the face of the guy who Googled and got my post with Hilda the first illustrated plus-sized pin-up (and my hero).  And just because I love Hilda, here's one of my favorites.

This is the closest I'll get to being a pin-up girl, since artist Duane Bryers obviously had psychic visions of me when he created Hilda back in 1957.  Seriously, those are my legs and skinny ankles, and even one of my expressions.  Please.  This is image is borrowed from toilgirls.com, a site by a modern plus-sized pin-up artist and fellow Hilda fan. 

That's the scoop on the blog right now.  I'm thrilled to have so many readers who come back day after day for my ramblings.  I do have to tell you, it's funny, since the comments weren't working for ages and bunches of you have joined Facebook and message me to say you liked a post, the comments have dwindled, but I know you're still reading, so all is well.  That's a nice run-on sentence for a late night! 

Check back for the cuteness of the new blog design and until next time, stay classy.
