When writing a post for a blog, you might have to research the subject, format the text and upload this to your hosting provider. You’ll probably want to illustrate this with a picture you’ve taken or spend time sourcing an appropriate image.
All this completed you sit back to see how many people actually want to read your missive.
The halcyon days of blogging appear to be over, and apart from a few notable exceptions most bloggers are finding their hit rates on a downward trend. In fact, compiling my statistics for next month’s yearly update I’ve found CabbieBlog hasn’t bucked this downward trend.
Imagine my surprise when my son told me of a picture (see featured low resolution image) he had taken of ASDA in Romford attracting a lot of attention.
This prosaic snap, he’d been informed, had attracted 1.9 million hits on Google.
There really is no justice in cyberspace.

Some of us really appreciate all your hard work in producing
such interesting reading. Thanks.
(Much, much better than seeing a photo of ASDA!)

Thank you for your kind words. The ASDA pic isn’t even in focus!

There is no rhyme or reason to what captures the imagination of the online public. Facebook and Instagram are always going to be more popular than blogs as they require the attention span of a goldfish, and not much reading ability.
Cheers, Pete.

Congatulations at finding the balanced carefully crafted formula that resonates in this wacky distracted world so full of senseless noise.
