The Sincerest Form of Flattery

While we’re in this lull:  I would like to make the observation that I have the WordPress Stats widget (or plug-in, or feature, or whatever it’s called) installed, and according to it, the vast majority of the traffic to this site, day by day, week by week, month by month, is created by three things:

• people linking to the post with the picture of the capybaras
• people linking to the post with the picture of the sheet music
• people linking directly to the picture of the sheet music, in a manner I’m not sure I understand (as clicking on that information within the WP Stats block brings up the image in a sort of “phantom” post:  one that has no text or date, and does not appear in the Posts or Drafts list, nor in the index of the site.  It might just be that the stats block has no provision for showing the http of the image without the blog formatting…  but then why isn’t the capybara picture listed on its own, too?)

This is heavily ironic, as in neither of those cases was I the original author of the image involved:  I just swiped ’em from somewhere else on the web, cleaned them up with leveling and sharpening, and then used ’em myself.  Serves me right, I guess.
