Random: It’s Amazing What a Bit of Snow Can Do
by Lee on Feb.19, 2009, under Random
This post is for Sunday 15th February, 2009
Quite a major piece of news over the last week or so has been the amount of snow we have received here in the UK.
I jumped on the band wagon and made a few extra posts on my blog. Generally they were of two types:
- Updates on the university being open / closed
- Photos of the snow
The reason for the universty updates was that originally, the university was being quite slow to update its website, so I was trying to get everything into one place. Due to my involvement in things like The Twang and The reFresh fair, I was finding the status of these out before they were generally being publicised.
The photos of the snow was because at a time liek this, one of the first things I do is grab my camera and I fancied sharing the photos I’d taken, not only to my friends on Facebook, but also to a wider audience.
However, I wasn’t expecting the impact these posts had on my blog’s stats.
