Well everyone, this is the 100th post! In the past four months or so The Baglady has had over 20000 visitors and over 45000 page views. The large spikes in visitors I have had came from The Consumerist, Patrick.net, and GetRichSlowly. This blog really started as something to entertain myself and my friends, but I am glad that I managed to provoke, entertain, and inform so many other people from my little corner of the world to the end of the earth. So thank you all for reading The Baglady!
I enjoy writing about whatever comes to my mind and so perhaps this blog may seem a bit random, but that is how I am. I want to share my life experiences with others and my blog is sending out my voice to be heard and I find that quite satisfying. I have had blogs in the past, but this is the one that has lasted the longest and I have definitely put in quite a bit of effort into writing this blog. When I was young I wanted to be a journalist, but for practical reasons I became an engineer. In a way this blog is fulfilling that childhood dream because people are reading what I write, and I am publishing anything I want.
For a little flash back, here are my personal favorite articles of this blog:
When Did “The American Dream” Become Debt? — This article has been featured as an editor’s pick at the Carnival of Personal Finance at Cash Money Life and the Carnival of Debt Reduction at Blogging Away Debt! Additionally it was linked by Karen Datko of MSN money’s SmartSpending blog.
Would You Ever Sell Your Eggs? – Since I wrote this article I found that there is a huge interest in selling eggs. Now about 30 to 40% of my search engine traffic comes from people searching for information on how much they can get for their eggs. It’s pretty funny to me.
The Anatomy of Crazy Bosses – A collection of crazy bosses I have observed.
Early Retirement May Not Be Optional For Twentysomethings — This is my personal pessimistic view of the future, but as people have pointed out, I may be wrong because more jobs will be created.
My Super Cheap Ex-Boyfriend — This article just never dies and was linked by J.D. at GetRichSlowly. It showed me that a lot of women have cheap boyfriends and are quite bothered by it because there are searches about this every single day. It is also now in Chinese.
This blog will continue to grow in the future, and most recently I started a Chinese version of the site. It is written in simplified Chinese and it is a place for me to practice my Chinese. So far I only translated one article, and it took me a pretty long time. We’re living in a crazy era, and I am sure there will be a lot of insanities for me to record.
Until next time, I leave you with this excellent video about the new internet bubble.
Once again, thank you all for reading and commenting on The Baglady.
