Big Yellow Blog

There are a lot of other Big Yellow Houses out there - and a significant number seem to be Victorian houses, with stories of remodelling epics gratifyingly similar to our own money-pit experiences - not shared here because they're all have the same theme (i.e. we did something, and it went ear-bleedingly expensively wrong) and because the latest fiasco is not over yet. Apparently we're also not unique in giving directions to our address as "it's the big yellow house on Main Street at the center of town" - and my originally named domains (big-yellow-house.com and big-yellow-house.net) are not as cleverly original as I wanted to believe. I know this because I've been exploring, trying to solve the Mystery of the Popular Picture - the previously mentioned house pic is still recording way more views than it deserves. I was hoping to find a link to the picture, or some such

The #1 from a Google search used to be a virtual neighbor - http://thebigyellowhouse.blogspot.com , (you have my sympathy and apologies if you found my blog while looking for this). The author of that blog (now on it's own web site - you'll get auto-magically redirected) has an infinitely larger readership than this - and also has a Flickr account, so I guess it's a remote possibility that a few of those folks are finding my picture through a search.

It's also possible that it might be attracting people looking for a restaurant, or a bed and breakfast; or who want to talk about pets, or are looking for childcare or asian carpets. Any and all of whom would be disappointed once they reached my Flickr pictures.


The mystery remains.
