HAHAHAHAHA. Ouch.

I moved my site from Blogger over a year ago, but I just HAD to try it out. Here's what I got:

Attempt #1: Akuajam. Not English. OK, maybe a few words in English. But still. I have no idea what it's actually about.

Attempt #2: Cuma.kaw.aku. With hearts on each side of the name. Also not in English. And please don't tell me that this is similar to my blog.

Attempt #3: Kangwublogger. I think it's a Chinese food blog. FAIL.

Hmmm... I just tried that from my blog, and ended ...

Hmmm... I just tried that from my blog, and ended up at Life in the Preseli Hills. Which is written by a 2009 Nanowrimo winner, and talks about ponies in its first post. The other posts do look about like stuff I'd put on my blog. ;) So yeah, maybe you need a "be someone else" button...

As for me: I'm just glad that the search blank finally works right again. For a while it was impossible to find anything. Literally. I'd type in a keyword that I could clearly see in the most recent post, and it wouldn't even find that. :p

Well, it must be you. Since your results are so m...

Well, it must be you.

Since your results are so much better than my own, when is Blogger going to install the "Be someone else" button?

Maybe that'd work.

And Eric,

I'm just not going to dignify that "girly" comment with a response. I've got a quiche in the oven!

Seems like maybe the problem is the "next blog" feature works too well. Consider what happened to you when you used it at Stonekettle: you went to a site about dirty diapers.

And what can be a side-effect of dirty diapers? I'm not a parent, so I can only guess, but one guess would be:

A chapped ass.

Now, as for why "next blog" from Polybloggimous leads to various Christian blogs and such, I have no idea. Perhaps there's something subliminal in your blog I need to be more attentive to. Perhaps you're really proselytizing for the Cult Of Nice. Perhaps, indeed, the foul-mouthed language you use is supposed to be some kind of cautionary tale!

Also, apparently you're very girly. Just sayin'.

Who knows?

But I can answer one other question for you: why get rid of the header bar? Because if you're using a custom template, it can totally mess up the look of your blog. At least that's why I bother--clearly that's a YMMV situation right there.

OH...tried it from Stonekettle Station and got one titled Resistance is Useless!
Dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians... written by a British blogger whose motto is This blog has no confidence in Her Magesty's government, does yours? They seemed to have ass-chappage issues with their political leadership.

Must quit now, have packing to do.

Well, it must be you...I tried the next blog button from Polybloggimous and was sent to a blog for a photographer/mountain-bike adverturer on the first try and a local neighborhood bar somewhere in Minnasota on the next.

The photographer was po'd because blogger was giving her fits and she was having to migrate her blog to WP. The folks at the bar however, looked like they were having way too much fun.
