The Bland Blogger and the Anonymous Photo

Anyone like to hazard a guess as to where this photo was taken? The only clue I will give is that it was a morning shot from January this Melbourne 2016 132year. I am not in the ACT. I will reveal all at the
bottom of the page but see how you go.

Why am I being so cloak and dagger? Well, my last blog post received a grand total of three hits. That’s right. Three! I know I am not the most exciting person in the world (the blog is called Strange Notations from a Laborious Life afterall!) but I thought a few more people may have taken a couple of minutes to struggle through my short tome. No matter. I thought I would try an experiment instead this time.

I read a book a couple of years ago about blogging and while most of the content slips my mind one berry of information which stuck was that blog posts with photos get more hits. And so here we go. My best ever post on WordPress has 19 hits. It was a post with a photo. So today I will test that theory. Will a bland post of myself posing in front of an anonymous lake get more hits than last week’s entry which was photo-less but definitely held more content? We shall see.

And where am I in the photo? I hope some of you eagle eyed-well travelled people picked it as Lake Wendouree in Ballarat, site of the Olympic rowing regatta at the 1956 Games. Nice place.

Have a great day.
