The internet is a funny thing

When I first started this blog I couldn't help feeling a little self concious about "baring my soul" to the internet and thinking, what is the point? What have I got to say that anyone might be even slightly interested in?

However; In true Field of Dreams "If you build it, they will come!" styleee this blog has gone from getting bugger all hits to now getting "a few" hits from all over the world, and the bounce rate, time on site and pages per visit are on the decline/up/up respectively.

It's interesting to see which articles are getting the most traffic, courrently most popular is my little write up of an easy way to upload and resize in C#. Which is almost nice to see as I did intend on making that one quite big on the search engine front. So that seems to have worked / It's a very popular search topic (which is why I wrote it, Because I was sick of searching for it so I thought I'd use my blog as a kind of extended / shared note book for code snippets).

So the ramblings keep on coming (although I had another drought the last month or so) but I think the next thing I'm going to try and write will be an article on securing ASP.NET applications as we recently had a little incident at work where some rogue links go into one of our site and as a result I got volunteered to write some best practices. Bugger... and on the theme of writing articles I'm going to look at an article on versioning web services too. I know there has been pleanty written about this already but I haven't really read any of it and it's one of the things I want get my head around and writing it up will probably help me drum it in.

So watch this space for more absolute cobblers and other possibly useful things.
