Another post that I'm inclined to begin with an apology or explanation for my intermittent presence but that would take time that just don't have. This is after all, about the blog. Considering I'm a rank amateur that sort of stabs at blogging when I can make the time, my TypePad blog has seen a steady increase in traffic.

I'm not interested in page ranks and huge numbers but what visitors respond to. Not literally, because few ever comment, but even random search engine hits end up with numerous pageviews. The numbers are dismal compared to "real" bloggers but it proved a theory; you can significantly increase traffic by giving visitors the content they're looking for.

The previous entry is a cross-post of a 2006 year in review from Every Irrelevance and I'll be cross-posting more. I've been reluctant to do so in the past because it felt a little like I'd be using EFx2 to promote my "other" blog.

Blogging's really about interaction and naturally, there's much more of that here. Plus, there may be some things you'll find interesting, like some night-time shots of this years international ice sculpture competition. There are more below, and more still at Flickr or Every Irrelevance.

So I'll see ya 'round.
