Thus there cannot EVER be "too many" terms, and the more obscure the better. No one is going to accidentally stumble across these pages by searching "Johnny Depp" or "Justin Bieber", but they might by searching "Fifi D'Orsay" or "Zasu Pitts".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428491630726035905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-4461304535171357782013-02-16T00:05:35.439-05:002013-02-16T00:05:35.439-05:00Oh.

There were times when I didn't read for a few weeks in a row and wondered if you'd written anything to me or about me and I did a search for "Daughter," but not that's in your byline there's no reason for it.<br /><br />You're absolutely right about the labels but I would consider getting rid of SOME of them... especially the ones that are there only twice or especially once, at least when the celebrity isn't someone who has any current relevance or significance. The labels are useful, but not when you have as many as you have. There are so many that it takes long to find one, even when you know who you're looking for and even though the list is in alphabetical order.<br /><br />(As if you care about what I think... but I still offer up my opinions when I think they could be useful. And I definitely think you should start giving your posts titles along the lines of "The One Where Starzina..." because, again, they give the reader an idea of what they're going to be reading about, which is always helpful. And it gets the name "Starzina" out there more often. And it lets you throw in something the is going on in the world currently.)<br /><br />/end rantTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-48826944340473327882013-02-15T16:25:30.346-05:002013-02-15T16:25:30.346-05:00We decided early on that the index would be only c...We decided early on that the index would be only celebs.

If you include particular friends of yours (Aunt Ovella, TCWBITWWW and maybe even myself), at least one of us would be in the top ten. But who would know to count us? (Other than people who never skim, which is probably just us... I suppose what I do is worse; I don't skim because, if I don't have time, I don't read at all.)<br /><br />All in all, you do keep things pretty fresh. And I do like the new naming convention for your post titles (as received via email). It is much more appealing to read someone when you have even only a semblance of an idea of what you'll be reading. A "semblance" meaning "seemingly nothing," it's the seemingly that is most important. My guess is you can get much higher hits with the titles you are sending via email. Now, all you have to do is correlate with the titles in the actual posts.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-68370131712732371882013-02-15T14:11:52.421-05:002013-02-15T14:11:52.421-05:00We feel as though We say the same things over and ...We feel as though We say the same things over and over, but We guess We really don't. If you discount Cher (who really is there because We tend to substitute "Cher" for "share") and CNR, who gets referenced for two reasons (Match Game and "as gay as"), the difference between the top 3 (4, counting JD)and the bottom 7 is really significant.<br /><br />Future PhD candidates in American Literature, take note.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428491630726035905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-87811224042639691092013-02-15T13:36:53.828-05:002013-02-15T13:36:53.828-05:00I didn't play yesterday because, before readin...I didn't play yesterday because, before reading the rest of the post (which I did eventually read), I looked at the numbers of mentions of other people. I would have been able to tell you four of them easily, though. I may have mentioned two other people who weren't in the top seven.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.com
