Too many Curmudgeons?
I'll be honest first off - I don't really have any idea what I'm doing with this whole "blog" thing. I didn't research it, I didn't look at others people's to get an idea of what to do - I just wanted a place where myself and like minded people could "hang out." And I did that (right?), but every so often I do flick through the options of Blogger to see if there's anything I could do to improve the Fortress. Hell, for all I know you can post whilst "Purple Rain" plays in the background and images of naked women pop up.
Anyway, on one such browse, I decided to see what would happen if I typed "The Curmudgeon" into the Blogger search engine.
The results were depressing. There are DOZENS of other Curmudgeon's on this site. Now, you and I know there's only one true Curmudgeon, and that's your old pal the Irresponsible Hate Monger. But what makes it worse is that these phoneys come WAY before me in the search engine, so anyone looking up the words "Curmudgeon" will have to scroll through about twenty odd pages before they stumble upon The Fortress.
Question to anyone that might know - is there any way I can get this site bumped up a bit? I mean, hells bells, some of these search results just have some MENTION of the word "Curmudgeon", like, "oh my dog was such a curmudgeon today". And all the while Your New Favourite Site is going ignored. Any ideas to rectify this travesty?
Meanwhile, The Curmudgeon is going to set out on a (friendly.. ish) mission, to seek out strange, new Curmudgeons. To boldly go onto these other Curmudgeon blogs and push my weight around a bit and try and get some hits. We'll see what happens.

Yikes, I hope it's a scary coincidence but I visited three "Curmudgeons" (ahem ahem) and guess what? They're all glassy-eyed tambourine banging religious nuts. Well, they're religious, anyway. Same thing.
One was asking for everyone to pray for their friend in hospital, the other two were going on about all kinds of high brow political and social stuff.
Kinda makes my rants about pop stars and comic book movies seem a bit.. trite. But hey - we all know what site is more fun, right?
I haven't actually contacted any of the other Curmudgeons yet, but I'll let you know if I get any responses when I do.
Wait a minute wait a minute...
I had the same dream.
You obviously watch a vast, vast amount of Simpsons.
Vast.
Jeez, Wolfman. How do you remember to log into The Fortress? Forget all that other unimportant "life" stuff - as long as you remember to keep doing that...
Oh, I mentioned going to other Curmudgeon's (you know, the purpose of this thread and all) to try and drum up some business.. haven't done that yet, but did go into some pop group fansites and posted some of my negative Amazon reviews, as well as giving them some of my more "spicey" comments.
Dammit - every comment and my memberships deleted within an hour.
Ho ho - I actually quite like that song.
Rare Curmudgeon fact - the music we asked to be played at our wedding, when we were walking out of the place, was Elton John's "Our Song." It was that or Slipknot's "People=Shit", but Elton won by a nose.
