Is it just me, or does this seem a bit … off?
Photo: From my WordPress stats: 61 visitors but only 39 views. … What were the other 22 visitors doing if not viewing my posts?
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

I wonder if WP is doing anything to fix this madness. Ugh.

As far as I know, WP isn’t doing anything to stop it.

22 took a whisper of a glance at the blog title then did a polka and lit a bonfire…
I’ve decided to take a creative bent on wordpress stats when they’re just nutty. 🤣

22 visitors only came for coffee?
That makes no sense, but not making sense is consistent with WP stats these days.
For the record, I came, I viewed, I commented 😉

Haha! Thanks, Dan. If they came for coffee, they left disappointed. I don’t give my coffee away to just anyboty. <– see what I did there?
