How can I claim to know how to be a popular blogger, when I'm only on page two of the most popular bloggers list!?
Hey, pickersplock, you're only number 34, you say?
Hey I'm with a great crowd; husbandhater, quidnunc, botoni, wombat, skald, kruuyai, uniquiely-ironic, hotaka,and mobil!
Whohoo, I'm in baby, and I'm claiming it!
I can do anything I want, I've got a tiara!
Seven actually, one for everyday of the week!
 
Now, if you're feeling left out, I can help!
 
1. You know how they say you should never talk about sex, politics, or religion!
Talk away here, you will get a lot of responses if you put out a very strong opinion about any of these!!
 
2. Let us into your life!  If you don't feel comfortable, make stuff up!  So the rants, the wild and crazy stories, the travel tales, all make great posts!  I think it was kruuyai, who wrote a fascinating piece on the different toilet facilities in her world travels.  Was it you kru?
I still remember that piece, because it was so interesting! 
 
3. Show everyone your personality!  That's how people in the entertainment business get noticed!  Some of us are funny, some a cerebral, some of us are spiritual, and some have their mind in the gutter most of the time (you know who you are).
 
4. Write well, edit, and since SC does it's own thing with spacing when you publish your post, you have to be very creative with how you put together your post.  If not, it looks like a mile long run on sentence.  I use a lot of double spacing in between paragraphs, for example.
 
5. Interact, but if you do it in a negative manner, be prepared for the consequences!
 
6. Try not to take everything personally!!!  If someone disagrees with you, or doesn't notice your writing or comment, don't go on a bender!  We bloggers are human and we're all doing the best we can!

    P. S- I can't stress this enough, write a great description of yourself!  It really lures people in!

    I do not have my mind in the gutter all the time! 

    My life is boring, pickingandgrinningsplock.  Please advise.

    Good post once again and I am in the company of you and the fine bloggers there vow I am happy. 
  • pickersplock said on Jan 08, 2008....
    MissMuckymuck, I wasn't talking about you!!!  Your life is boring you say?
    You need a hobby! 
     
    Here are some suggestions of unusual hobbies;
     
    Cursing at the neighbors
    Muttering
    Makeup for muskrats
    Writing useless self help books, such as 1001 Ways to Utilize Crumbs
     
    Thank you Skald, I love learning about Iceland too!

    Hiya all...great to see your still alive and tapping the keys.

    Popular ?  Let me count the ways....{never enough hours in a day}.

    I am popular here, have been for some time now, just that popularity is measured in so many ways I am still amazed at how fast it can happen in here.

    There is good popular and ill popular, both are popular however in their own right.

    For example, OJ Simson is popular, as is Bush, but in different ways...but thier names are known widely.  Popular isn't all roses, hell, I ve had to almost beat folks off me in here at one time, litterally,,lol.

    Then there are those like skald who is popular simply for being skald--consistantly.  Maybe thats a clue, consistant opinions.  Good or bad I enjoy each and glean from each and that makes everyone popular, in thier own way.

    Glad I am popular, then too, you all already know you can come to me to vent, make a sharp retort or be down right ugly, and that makes me popular, it works for me.

    Now, find what works for you, it may well be a conversation of Peaches & Cream, cock extensions, or a divorce, perhaps you recently found yourself to be gay or bi-sexual after the first two orgasms...whatever, everyone is popular, everyone...in thier own special way.

    Jessi.

    Haven't seen you around for a while, Hottips!
    What you say, makes perfect sense!
  • davidstar said on Jan 08, 2008....
     
    1.  I don't talk or read or write about sex.  I do talk some about politics.  I am a Christian Jew, but I don't know if I have ever written about religion.  I do like reading it though.  I don't have strong opinions about anything, so I'm out of luck on number 1.
     
    2.  I don't need a lot in life.  I don't rant, have traveled little. I don't think I will make it on number 2.
     
    3.  I don't have much personality.  Usually shy. Don't know if I'm funny.
     
    4. Don't know about creative.
     
    5.  I hope to interact some.
     
    6. Well, I might be able to do number 6. I don't take anything personal. 
     
    Well, what do you think, pickersplock? This is my first day.  Will I make it?

    Pickingyoubeforeyoupickonme.......enough already with this popularity trend.....lately all i read is posts about popularity ....

    who is in and who is not or who will be....

    Let's just keep blogging away....people read people who somehow (for reasons  that most of the time are obscure even to the subscribed ones)  resonates in their mind or heart or memory ....who really knows?

    better making up names of each other....believe me...;-) 

  • pickersplock said on Jan 08, 2008....
    Ginny, you are very wise!
    David, from what I've seen, if you keep at it, you're going to do fine here!
  • gingersoul said on Jan 08, 2008....
    David.....i completely agree with Ms.Picker-me-so....:-).
  • Twylarants said on Jan 08, 2008....
    David~ listen to the ladies, they won't steer you wrong.  It's all about talking to people, getting in on the conversations.  This isn't like real life.  In real life you probably wouldn't walk up to a group of strangers and butt into the conversation, but it's different here. Here, that's exactly what you should do.  That's why people blog, so you'll read it and talk to them about it.  You already stuck your toe in the water on Picker's name game, now jump in.  Write and read and comment, and voila! You're a blogger!  And if that's not how voila is spelled I'm very embarrassed.

  • Lucytorial said on Jan 08, 2008....

  • gingersoul said on Jan 08, 2008....

    Voila' is spelled correctly, Twylabee......:-)

    Monsieur David, its all up to you......when are you coming to play with us?....:-)

  • hotaka said on Jan 08, 2008....
    Kruu wrote about toilet facilities?! Bullocks! I have been planning my own post for months and I just started writing it last night. I even mention kruu in it. Well, now I have to read it and I will put a link to it on mine when I post it.

    Hey, I am on page two? Wohoo! And I thought I had dropped out of celebrity status. Toilet post coming soon, ladies and gentlemen!
  • queenparanoia said on Jan 09, 2008....
    great tips pickers!!! and yeah if you wanna be popular here read a lot of posts and comment to all of it!!! =)
  • pickersplock said on Jan 09, 2008....
    Lucy, of course you can borrow a tiara!  I was asleep, jeez!  A girl's got to get her beauty sleep!
     
    Hotaka, I think it was Kruu.  It was almost a year ago and I can't remember.
    It was a great post!  I always thought the differet kinds of toilet paper, or alternatives were fascinating also!
     
    Ginger, Queen, and Twyla bring up excellent points!  Just keep at it!  You'll get there!
  • kruuyai said on Jan 09, 2008....
    pickers:  Yes, that was me!  Wow!  I can't believe you remembered.  It was part of my Culture Shock Series and called Culture Shock 101 - Toilets Around the World.  How's that for shameless self promotion?

    I recently discovered that I could sort the posts on my blog according to "most viewed" and was really surprised that my most viewed post was Fear of Phoning with over 2000 views.  Who would have guessed?  Makes you wonder what people are putting in their google searches.  By the way, hotaka, moonriver did a follow up to my toilet post with his own take on the same subject called Life With Indigenous Pigs.  I know that pigs are a topic of special interest to you.  I highly recommend that you check it out.  Happy reading.
  • kruuyai said on Jan 09, 2008....
    By the way, pickers, one of my posts that always reminds me of you is Culture Shock 101 - Nose Picking and Grinning.  Can you guess why?  
  • pickersplock said on Jan 09, 2008....
    I know, I know!  I should have used the full title as my screen name; Pickwick's Plock; instead of shortening it!
    I remember that post too!
    Have you ever written anything on dining?  I think it would be interesting!
    I've only eaten in the US, Canada, Morroco, France, Spain, Scotland, and England.  Nothing too out there, as far as food. 
     Although, Haggis was an adventure!
  • merlin said on Jan 10, 2008....
    thanks for the tips! i really like your writting style
  • pickersplock said on Jan 10, 2008....
    Thanks Merlin!
  • redgoose said on Jan 10, 2008....

    I was born in the Bavarian Alps in the heart of the

    wine country and became a burgermeister at the age

    of 19.  Most people think that wine is always made of grapes

    but this is not true. When grapes were unavailable, for

    example, such as

    when raisens were in great demand or prunes were needed to

    get the plumbing working just right, no grapes for wine.

    Then we use Christian wine, or non fermented wine which is

    made of logonberry and apricots and can only be compared to

    radiator anti-freeze.

    There is some evidence that this may  have been the wine that 

    was used to start world war one. It is said that hitler's father

    was so disillusioned with it that he hired a mad assassin to shot

    The arch duke ferd, simply to liven things up a little. it is said

    Morman leader Joseph Smith's wife took one sip and pointed 

    west, commenting that it might be a good idea if he just kept

    on going. The rest is history, of course, Smith sent his son

    Brigham, along with his 140 wives, l40 children, and l40 sheep,

    and , you guessed it, 140 hogshead on the back of each

    brother, and this was proclaimed by the prophet that this is

     the new wine of  Salt Lake City, whereupon it was

    named after they all got out of their wagons and said" This is

    the pits."  But the historian may have been hard of hearing so 

    he could have heard him say, " I have to s.... or this is the ....s."

    Word is he was damm sick of the wine by then and brought out

    the good stuff, potatoe  vodka which he passed around liberally

    as all began to dance. It was then he became in the marrying

    mood and married everyone! But the men thought it might be a

    trick to get their women so they "cast out the sheep," which

    seemed to make perfect sense at the time.

     Anyway, the rest is lost in the telling, but you can still buy

    potatoe wine in Utah. you do need a license to buy it,

    It is an inert gas, cellulose, and nitrate, actually and

      explosive, and you never want to light a match after uncorking

    or after you have sat for  awhile after the first drink.  Another

    of the great myths of science exposed.

    Hottiebabe....i can't believe you forgot the post of Moon about pigs and poo, not mantioning the one about toilet from Kruu.....i now i have to add to list the marvelous posts of Mobil on the same matter...

    What can i say? We Scaster are truly people of sidereal interests....LOL...... 

  • hotaka said on Jan 11, 2008....

    Oh, I didn't forget mooney's post about pigs. I mention it in my toilet post (still on my computer at home). I just didn't remember whose post it was. I never saw kruupie's post about toilets. I don't have time to read it now but I will tomorrow before posting mine.

    Kruupidoll, thanks for the links. I saw them on your post about getting itchy too. I will follow them up. Someone called Destiny...something...Dust did a toilet manners post recently. I'm sorry I don't have time to look it up. I read it a few days ago. I'll include a link in my post.

  • hotaka said on Jan 11, 2008....
    DestinyIsDust. I hope that person isn't after DestinyDiva. Anyway, fun post.
