As you may recall, my blog ranking back in May was 3,193,324. Are you prepared to be amazed by the growth rate of the Blogiverse? My site has dropped in the rankings by 178,822 since then. If it were possible to whistle in a blog, I’d be whistling—whistling Dixie, apparently!
That was a great segue for discussing the phrase “whistling Dixie,” wasn’t it? I think so. Anyway, the basic definition of “whistling Dixie” is “indulging in unrealistic fantasies.” I don’t know where I learned the phrase. I was just blogging one day and there it was in my head. And me, a trueborn Yankee! What do I know of Dixie?
Dixie Cups. I know Dixie Cups. I love Dixie Cups. Don’t you?
But Dixie Cups were supposedly created in Boston, not the South. And I was born not far from Boston. What does it all mean?
Either it means nothing or it means that we live in a vast and wondrous Blogiverse. Take your pick.
