I’m trying to figure out how to make life easier for some people

Blogging , Humor

Because, really?

Seriously?

I mean, typing http://blog.robballen.com would have been a lot easier.

I won't lie, I've came here that way when I first started reading you because I couldn't remember exactly how you framed your URL, or if you were on blogger or wordpress or your own host.

Same goes with Joe Huffman's site, the .org threw me more than a few times in the early days.

That easeily could have been me too. I use autocomplete instead of bookmarks to go to most of the sites I frequently visit - I find it to be really fast (and I have too man bookmarks). Sometimes autocomplete fails me.

My mother used to think the way you went to websites is you typed the URL into the Google search window in the middle of your page (her home page was a old style Google search page). It worked probably 90% of the time, but the times it didn't were the cause of much confusion!

Your the top sites on google for "Robb Allen" and "Sharp Marble" so they could have typed half as much and they would have still gotten here. Your high on the list for "Sharp Allen" and "Robb Marble" also.

I've done that too. Mostly because I read everything via RSS so I never see the original URL unless I click through. Until I've been somewhere 30-50 times I just search for it.

Except Tam's place. I almost always search for hers unless the URL auto completes after "books".

I typically get here from google reader using the RSS Feed so I rarely see the original URL until I click through.

I get here from bookmarks[200 +-]plus comments, and my own, so by the time I read down to your blog it's a eleventy o'clock in the morning your time.
But I do dig your shit.

Someone found me once by typing in "world domination and cake" into google.

Oops. That particular search entry might actually have been me. I first tried SharpAsAMarble.com, but then had to switch to Google. I normally only read the posts through an RSS reader, so all I ever see is the website's title, not the URL.
