Serves me right; this blog and its wonky name have essentially dropped off the earth, by which I mean, it's no longer searchable on Google. I suppose this is a result of neglect, and that's down to my laxity in posting; but there's another issue. I have a great deal of trouble with random error messages and inability to access the blog at random times, on various computers. Then, later, without changing anything, access is fine. Yesterday I wanted to write this but couldn't view the blog. Today, no problem.
I have another blog that never manifests this problem, and the only difference between the two is that this blog has its own domain name. I wonder if the intermittent glitchiness is Blogger's passive-aggressive way of disapproving of that.
So this frustration is causing a creeping temptation... to move from Blogger to Wordpress, hosted on my own server. Oh, dear.

I beg to differ. I just searched you on google and you were #3 or 4 for "ouzelumbird."
Just so. Couldn't find it on the Big G in January, though. How peculiar; the ways of Google are mysterious.
...Might as well add, I'm sorry about the name thing, other-ouzelum-bird-guy. You've had the name a lot longer, posted a lot more, and have more interesting things to say; I feel like a poacher, now. But no one reads my blog, if that's any comfort. =)
I'm sure there are people out there (the same people who discovered Google Bombing, likely) who could explain it to you, but I am not one of them.
No apologies necessary! These things happen when we borrow from folklore. You have to your name several key factors: currency (by which I mean, you're currently keeping it up, not that you're funneling money into it), a proper url without the word "blogger" or "blogspot" in the title, and more readers than me.
You might question that, but if you have one reader, you have more readers than me. There's a reason I stopped writing in the damn thing.
