With the end of the month close enough to call it a month in the holiday season, I thought I would check out my stats. Below are the latest from Edutechation and not surprisingly I see that my involvement in Social Media makes up 57 of the 87 top referrers. My active involvement reading and commenting on Michael Kwan’s blog Beyond the Rhetoric amounts to almost as much as my Twitter account.
The surprising stat is the top referrer, which comes from a link to my top post of the month. The link is on a Spanish education blog/Wiki. The number two top post has come from a post that still gets a lot of hits on the old Edutechation and I imported here. It is a tech fix for Outlook Express, which is leading me to believe that I should write more posts in my niche of tech support. Something else that I have found is that sensational posts on current topics tend to get a lot of hits for the short term, but do get hits.
So what do all these stat’s mean? They mean I am going to be moving to a more eclectic type of posting about tech support, current affairs and education. At some point I may change the blog name and domain, but if I do I will do it with a lot of consultation from the people that I respect in this field. Until then, I am going to continue with my social media, and other methods of getting my blog to grow while trying to make it more viable with what I am posting.

Crist opposes 1-cent school tax | Jacksonville.com
Gov. Charlie Crist says he opposes a 1-cent sales tax increase to help fund public education.“A one-cent increase, I don’t like that. I don’t like taxes,” the governor told a group in Mayport on Mar. 18. “You can live within your means and do more with less,” Crist said. “We have an opportunity to continue the funding levels without having to raise revenue.”
In the quote above from a recent article from Jacksonville.com Florida governor Charlie Crist states that we don’t need more money to fund education. Of course the governor has no clue about education needs. He wants to do more with less. He wants to go backward, let the kids suffer with inferior education. The Florida government has just ignored education, lied to education and basically not done anything for the children of the state for decades. When they said they would hold education harmless in cuts, they lied. When the lottery started they said they would leave funding already in place alone, not replacing it with the funds that the lottery brought in. They lied, so who is their in government to trust?
Florida educational spending ranks 41st in the nation per-pupil, it is only going to get worse with the budget cuts and the withholding’s that are now occurring. We need help, but don’t expect it from the current Florida government.
Wake up Governor Crist, give up your butler, your chef and the other perks that you get. Give that money to the state to use. We are all having to buckle up in these times of crisis, why don’t you Mr. Crist?
