Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Hey, I never said I’m proud of myself!
Blog Guy, I’ve just started a new blog, and I could use some advice from a veteran like yourself. What do you do if you want to get a lot of traffic, but you don’t want to work very hard for it?
That’s called cheap pandering to readers with click-bait, and blogging professionals don’t do it.
Yes, but just between you and me. If you wanted to pander, just once, what would you do?
I’d go for a wide audience. I’d anchor it with a really good new photo of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. A close-cropped face shot, just oozing with charm.
Who’s the cutest one of all?
I’m going to do something a little different today.
There is this writer named Bart King, whose job is almost as much fun as mine. He turns out books with titles like “Big Book of Gross Stuff” and “Pocket Guide to Mischief.”
His latest one, called “Cute! A Guide to All Things Adorable,” has just been published, and I enjoyed it very much. Bart offers clever insight into what makes things seem cute, and why.
And then, the Mama Grizzly said…
Blog Guy, you set up a lot of fantasy shots for your readers, and we appreciate them. Maybe it’s time to share one of your own fantasies with us.
Well, since you mention it, this photo would be a great example of one of my ultimate fantasies.
Those cute ears will make a great trophy!
What’s up, Blog Guy? You look concerned about something.
I am. I just saw these photos of two panda cubs born in Spain.
They’re adorable! What’s wrong with that?
Did you miss the part where I said they are in SPAIN, the place where poor creatures are slowly tortured to death before slobbering, bloodthirsty crowds?
Besides bullfighting, this is the home of the running of the bulls, the fiery “purification of the horses” and similar traditions too numerous to mention.
