Working for Yahoo, Part XIV

Two more weeks without a post.  Yikes.  Blogging may not be my thing.

Despite my still serious complaints about Yahoo and the economics thereof, I saw a relatively easy assignment and snapped it up.  Write 350 words about your favorite novel, they asked, so here it is: My thoughts on American Gods. 

In truth that was more about getting back into the habit of writing than any great expectations about its success.  A glance at my stats shows that my review of the new Randhurst AMC is still my most popular article, despite the cross-linking I did with the Western Battlefield Summery article.

On the other hand, my stab at "current" content in the form of my First Impressions: Age of Empires Online Beta only scored two measly hits, and no one at all has read my review of Murder for Two.

I mean, I know musical theater ain't exactly front page news unless it's Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, but Murder for Two really was a funny little show.  No one?  Really?

Very depressing.

In other news, there are job openings at The Escapist and Rock, Paper, Shotgun that I'm trying to fill.  I don't have high hopes, since the jobs were posted on the front pages of popular websites and will likely be flooded with entries, but I'm doing my bit regardless.

Wish me (lots and lots of)  luck.
