Drunk, Naked and on Fire - My Morning Browse

Rate: 1 Flag

So I have to confess to being old to writing and new to blogging.   Though I've read blogs for years and come from the technology industry, I've made only tentative forays into my own blogs.  I began "Beatniks" as a way of disciplining myself to write each day and have some fun with topics I enjoy.

During my morning browse today I was reading the "most read" posts on the OS home page and got to thinking - how does that happen?  What I noticed was that most of the popular posts had clever titles, usually twisted, ironic or sexual. 

 Thus today's morning post is entitled "Drunk, Naked and on Fire" to test the theory, and I threw in some clever tags to augment the effort.  This experiment could continue every day, with the goal of achieving maximum readership.  Tomorrow's topic, "I Always Crave a Smoke After Sex Outside My Species."

Thoughts?

Yep, you've got it. Don't forget dark. People dig the dark.

Rated for...well, you know why.
Good call. Dark, twisted, ironic, sexual. Got it! I'm all over it.
You have unlocked the secret passageway to OS fame, if not fortune.
Congratulations.
Dark, ironic: "So, a headless cadaver walks into a bar....", or impled sexuality: "Is That Thing Real or Should I Call Animal Control?", or "Bite Me Harder, I'm Still Consious!" I'll get this thing down.
I love all of those, actually.

More bondage, please. Thank you.
yes, ma'am! bondage it is....i'll need to brush up on technique and terminology, but hey, i'm nothing if not, um, curious.
That's it, my next post is going to be titled "Vodka, eggnog, and rugburn."
Tags are apparently important too, so I added "bondage" after Persephone 13's astute comments. Looks like eggnog could be going on the tag list....
