I should try that Wordle thingy to see if I’m right.

I went ahead and manually copied every blog post ever and put it in. It didn't take me long, as I never blog. It did the same to me, too.

However, I'm not sure how accurate this is for my blog. If the size of the word is an indication of its usage, I call shenanigans on Wordle. For mine, "Christopher" and "Lloyd" are larger than "Keanu" and "Reeves." This can't possibly be accurate -- I've referenced Keanu more times than I can count. Also, "Ashley" and "Greene" are larger than 90% of the other words, and I didn't even know who Ashley Greene was until two weeks ago (and I've only referenced her in one post). Shenanigans, Wordle. Shenanigans. (My theory? Wordle isn't scanning every word I've ever written. It's only scanning the words from the posts available in my RSS Feed, which only goes back so far.) Awesome.
