A CMS, or Content Management System is used to create, house, and publish ‘content’ for any website. In my case, I write and then I publish my pieces which vary in length. Some of what I write are short essay’s and others are simply what I call written ‘pieces’, or Musings.
I write for my own cathartic exercise and not for anyone else. Not many people read what I have written which does not bother me in the least as I do not even advertise the site. It is what it is, take it or leave it. Most days The site gets a small handful of visitors and readers with the periodic burst in online traffic for a day. The CMS shows a statistical breakdown, no doubt for those who seek to learn reading patterns and high-traffic written pieces.
I believe for the most part, the data is accurate. There is however an outlier in the data I receive on a daily basis. One of the Published pages, Your House is Like a Museum, was receiving a very consistent and unusual traffic pattern on a daily basis. Either that piece is the best written example of American short literature or the page was long ago tagged by a ‘bot’ to ensure a daily visit and periodically multiple visits in one day. It was painfully obvious when I noticed an almost daily site visit from China, and Your House is Like a Museum was the number one ticket and most viewed page on the website.
Well, I don’t think so. I quickly became numb seeing Your House is Like a Museum as my most visited page. Then I got irritated in seeing the title listed on the stat page every day, but there it was so I just ignored it. Until today.
I am very curious to see how the bot will handle the fact that I unpublished that particular page. The page is still within my CMS, it’s just unpublished. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this solution before today.
Shoo-fly! Have fun with that you digital nothing.
