Windows to Russia Update… (October 19th, 2011)

Looks like it is time to update on the happenings with Windows to Russia. Most happenings are behind the scene as the template has stayed stable for a long time now. The cosmetics of the template have changed slightly but the coding has stayed much the same for a awhile. It took a lot of learning by me to assemble a WordPress template from scratch and this is my final product. I call it Simplicity (based off the core of a template called manifest) and it is about as light of a template and still function properly with WordPress…

Ukraine still blocks the site and that seems to be permanent. Ukraine government just does not like Windows to Russia…

The Chinese are now officially number two on the countries that view Windows to Russia and I see that China could really take number one spot with in two months. The Chinese search engine Baidu has really increased Windows to Russia’s traffic…

I received two e-mails last night. (Actually received many more but these two I will talk about!) It is strange on how far apart in thinking that these e-mails were. The first one (as well as the second one) was in conjunction with my article: Preachers of Democracy Stutter in Russia Over American Repressions…

The first e-mail said basically you are correct and that they knew people leaving America because it was getting so bad. I myself know of people trying to do the same thing and have many friends struggling to survive now in America. I also know many that are doing great in America and have to say that it is not all bad. But it is far from good like it has been in the past…

The second e-mail was a rip roaring hum dingier! It told me about how worthless I am and that the world can just take the American middle finger up its ***! Normally at this time the delete button is activated and away go troubles down the drain… 🙂

But I saw a statement farther down in the letter. It said, “Democracy is Gods Politics! We are passing the word of God through Democracy! Those who oppose Democracy oppose Gods will! America is Gods country and we will rule the earth! We are the chosen ones and all others shall perish! We will succeed where other Empires have failed!” (Really kinda scary if you think about it.)

Hum… That really is a radical way to think. I see a lot of this type of responses all over the internet. There are so many comments on news sites and blogs all over the world that pass a similar message. But yet we only seem to worry about the radical Muslim message. Why is that? The letter I got and get all the time is from the USA and they are very brutal, radical, degrading and hateful…

Next in my thinking’s today is about comments. I think that the information above will explain good enough why comments are non existent on Windows to Russia. I have had a wonderful time writing again because I have stopped being terrorized by comments. I have something to say and it is your choice if you want to read it or not. This is not a social gathering and if you really need to contact me then try the e-mail in contact. But I have to warn you that I will decipher the e-mail and decided if it is real or not. Most do not make it past the spam filter in the first place. I do apologize to someone who really desires to comment but that is less than a half percent of a percent. The rest of the comments were simply a troll or spam to leave a link. That is what most bloggers are about. They comment to leave a link and they really do not have any desire to care about what you write. Readers who do not have websites to try to link too, come and read and leave as quietly as they came. I have thousands upon thousands of those readers a day. Mostly the presence of paid trolls governed comments and that just is not worth the trouble. Plus I had a huge degrading Washington DC group of trolls that made life interesting. I have sliced these scum off at the roots. There are more readers than ever from Washington DC now that I have have done that…

A last word on comments. There are sites that have many good comments and usually those sites are ones that help people to fix something or to learn something. But a site like Windows to Russia just instill a curious combination of hate and jackass. The blend of Evil Russia and someone who likes Russia like me and then to compare Russia to America at the root of things! Just causes people (Americans) to get their panties in a twist… 🙂

Next is Coffee and News domains of Windows to Russia. They have grown a tremendous amount and both being news based it has really pleased me at their growth. On some days they are able to rival Windows to Russia in page views. That is no small feat for those sites…

As I said while we were on vacation in Turkey that Windows to Russia has reached the 3000 article mark. I remember the first 100 articles and that seemed like a huge accomplishment and at the time it was. I was very new at this blogging thing and still wondering why I was doing it. Then I receive an e-mail and it says something as simple as:

“Joo got it”   (Mexican accent here).

Then I smile and think of how many times my workers in America down South said that. That is when I know why I write this blog…

Thanks to all my readers… 🙂
