My head hurts!

Can any of you, I know you're out there...more tech savy people than me. Can anyone out there explain to me the difference, importance of google ranking vs Alexa? I've posted the widgets...look on the right in the sidebar.......and now that I've done so, what do they mean? Clueless back in cold Columbus.

I managed to knit 3 pair of booties and a hat (pictures posted in here), while we were out of town. Got back last night and did an update over on The Bridge Blog today. PLEASE, check it out. Pass on your thanks, and or see if you can help.

I spent the bulk of the day unpacking, doing laundry, and putting stuff away. I did post a travel rant, not sure that can really be counted as a traveling suitcase update. Although........some good advice there.

**My 2 cents worth for today**
"Our time on earth is what we make it, so get ready and cook something up!"

WIP (for you non knitters and crocheters), works in progress:
Christmas Ghan (crocheted)
Opal Ghan (crocheted)
Candy Corn Ghan (crocheted)
Scarlet & Grey Scarf (knitted)
*****Packing box for womans shelter in Michigan, Caring House which includes, hats, booties, sweaters for wee ones, toiletries (shampoo), conditioner, lotion, soap for women in need. This box will go out tomorrow*******

  3. Hi Sandy,

    Alexa is I think based on traffic measurements that may include Google traffic but also include other means of getting to a site...I don't know how reliable it is. I've tried to mess with it before but found some of its traffic rankings a bit hard to believe.

    I made my bear picture bigger per your suggestion...I'm used to posting smaller pictures because my originals show up really funky in livejournal...but it seems to be okay here.

    That is Bev's pattern for a onesie, but I don't think it's one of her best -- actually several people have it listed as their pattern so I don't know who actually created it. As I said in my post, I was only able to see how it worked once I put it on my bear, and even then...I'm not sure how well it will work for a real live baby. Eh. What do I know :)

    Thanks, as usual, for your comment!

  7. Welcome back! I hope your trip was terrific.

    Unfortunately, I haven't even heard of Alexa, so I'm no help either on the tech front.

    Stay warm!

    Hiya Sandie......
    I have a few questions....not to be nosey, but for research purposes....you don't have to answer if you don't want to..

    I know that you live in the Southern part of Ohio,have you always lived there? Or are you a transplant from another area? We, my husband and I are just tossing around the idea of relocating...somewhere in the Buckeye state...
    preferable the lower/southern half...just tossing it around at this point...me, I am ready to go anytime.....but there is much to do, and a starting point is needed....Are you far from Dresden? That is a point of interest for me..maybe I should this out to te blogosphere? We have lived up here our entire lives...so we didn't choose to be here...but something is missing.....my husbands family on his mom's side is from Southern Ohio, Cambridge,Byesville...and they came here for opportunity in the workplace I suppose years ago...we don't want to stay here for any number of reasons....Cleveland is not where I think we should be in the coming years,especially with the economy being the way it is....Cuyahoga County is the highest tax paying city in Ohio...and there is nothing to show for it.... Thanks, Faith
