Metblogs just introduced a cool widget to embed any metblog post on your own blog. Since I am a Lahore Metblogs author by virtue of writing a few posts there, so I thought I’d check the (beta) embed script out. Here goes:
Hmm, it ate up my masterpiece images, and the title is missing the trailing /, but pretty cool otherwise. I didn’t know they also have an author feed, so here’s my feed at Lahore Metblogs – I will try to write there more often in 2009 than my current frequency of a post per quarter.

People Search the Darndest Things
Each blog has its own micro-zeitgeist (that’s a word that I just made up, or neologized) that gives an insight into its place in the larger scheme of things, and this one is no different. Like most of the human race, I like to look at my Google Analytics data every now and then, perhaps as an aid to introspection, or perhaps because they look very pretty. Looking at the search queries that bring people here, I see some queries that have an answer/solution here, and I hope that the inquirer had to look no further. There are queries that I could have answered in a closely related post, but chose not to, and there are queries that make me wonder about the inquirer’s mental health. There’s also a lot of raw material and leads for possible blog posts, but that’s for real bloggers, not me.
Since I have a few free minutes, let me share a small slice of search strings with you, in decreasing order of popularity, and the replies-that-never-were… because I have nothing better to do.
