Join the Conversation: What’s Your Most Embarrassing Moment?
Blog Pirates
A Blog Pirate: Someone who tries to steal the spotlight from a more successful blog in order to make their blog noticed and to increase their traffic stats.
This is usually done by pointlessly criticizing posts in order to drive traffic to their blog. Most blog pirates surf the “What’s Hot” on the front page of blog hosts (I.E. WordPress.com) hunting their next victim. They also search through the tags pages to see what blogs have the most comments (thus a high level of traffic) and rips into the author of the blog and/or their content. If you have ever crossed a Blog Pirate you will see why they have to steal the spotlight, its usually because their content is not good enough to draw their own crowd and keep them.
Blog Pirates know that most authors will defend their content thus linking to the pirate and driving their readers (traffic) to the pirate’s site, they also know that when people search for key words pertaining to the victim’s blog in Google the searcher will be driven to the pirate’s blog as well, thus attracting extra traffic. Blog Pirates are interested in one thing, signing on to WordPress and immediately going to their daily stats and seeing how many hits they had that day…nothing more, nothing less.
Watch it! You may be hijacked by a Blog Pirate today 🙂

The Tale of the 4 Cupcakes
There once was 4 cupcakes in a box and a little boy named Tristan.
When Mommy and Daddy turned their head.
The Cupcakes Disappeared…Hmmm! I wonder where they went?
When I was in 2nd grade, my dad was in the living room and we had some bottle rockets in the kitchen pantry, so I climbed in a chair, pulled one down, lit it and it shot through the house and popped!
Knowing that the sound of the bottle rocket had alerted the whole house, I quickly went to cover up my actions, so I did what every 2nd grader would do, I hid the smoking bottle rocket in the trash can, of course my dad had to be a smart aleck and ask me what happened, to which I replied in a similar smart alecky way, “I don’t know!?” (With a shrugging of the shoulders) – too bad that darned bottle rocket was smoking I may have gotten away with it.
