Statistics can sometimes be fun. WordPress is great at providing a few of those – numbers of visitors, referrals and out clicks and of course search terms used to get to the site. The top 10 all time search terms for Lifeinthenhs are:
All Time
| Search | Views |
|---|---|
| what does a nurse do | 588 |
| what does a nurse do? | 355 |
| ka | 337 |
| pink | 262 |
| daffodils | 176 |
| things to write about | 163 |
| celtic knot | 122 |
| life in the nhs | 121 |
| madeleine mccann | 72 |
| professional boundaries | 65 |
Which go to show you that what you call a post is important as are some of the pictures you place on your blog posts because in the main they seem to be the two main ways people chance upon you (or else return without necessarily knowing the name of your blog).
In early 2006 I wrote a post called – What does a nurse do in 2006, and this essentially has been my most read post. Partly because a university that teaches nurses appeared at one time to advise their students to read the post. Second most attractive was a picture of a Pink Ford Ka, which I wrote about having seen one in my local high street and being amazed not just by the sight of the car itself, but also by the pink fluffy seats and other girlie decorations within it.
Recently lots of people have been using the term ‘things to write about’ which suggests a search for inspiration, so you can only hope that those people find whatever they are looking for and that I provide that for them!
Madeleine McCann who I have written about twice on this blog, is sadly still missing. The way in which she disappeared, the way in which the press picked up the story and her parents desire to keep the story in the spot light have contributed to this.
So there you have it. a pointless, but interesting post for a Saturday. But then we can’t always think of what to write about and have to look somewhere for inspiration. Sometimes that comes from other blogs and sometimes that comes from within!
