What is a "blog view" on this site, exactly? I only ask because the graph that depicts the number of blog views that I've gotten looks like this:
[image loading]

And I got ~600 views in the last 12 hours.

The number of views on my individual blogs doesn't seem to affect this, as my earlier blogs have a lot more views than my later blogs (despite the quality being the opposite trend).

I believe it's the number of people who have looked at tl.net/blogs/The_Templar, rather than the actual blogs in question.

That makes sense, but why are so many people suddenly clicking on it?

probably a similar bug showing such large numbers based off the calculations over time that causes the report stats to be drawn incorrectly

This is serious business. It has gone up to 1800 this month since I posted that graph.

Probably Viewbotting. Either you are doing it yourself for publicity and the sweet sweet ad moneys you get from that page, or someone else is doing it to blame you for it.

Could you add this http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2by8mo/story_of_newbeexiao8_shared_by_him_on_weibo/
into the liquidpedia for xiao8?

Its much more comprehensive and so good!
He's a good player, a bit overated in my opinion.

I think liquipedia is more of a fact data bank. Stories don't exactly belong there, though you can put link to it on the page.
No idea if reddit links time out after a while.
+ Show Spoiler +
If reddit pages do time out, you might want to copy that whole thing and put it up in the TL blogsection or whatever(with appropriate disclaimer that you don't own it and links to original sources as long as available.

What's the grammatically correct way of asking a question such as:

I'm going to the store, would you like to come with me or stay here?


Are you supposed to put a comma after "come with me" ?

A semi colon instead of a comma after "I'm going to the store" and forget the later comma. Those are related but independent clauses and there'd be no reason to use a comma with an "or" construction.

Only pompous writers use semicolons. Use a period.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

That's nonsense; semicolons have only developed that reputation alongside a generation of writers who don't understand how to use them.

I use semicolons all the time; most people don't think my writing is pompous.

Semicolons are entirely appropriate in some situations. Using them just for the sake of using them is absurd (just like using a bigger word just because you can) but they're hardly exclusive to "pompous" writing.

Don't take advice on semicolon usage from the guy with the semicolon in his signature.

If it's too pompous for that guy though, it's probably too pompous for everyone then, isn't it?
