The Space between Pet dog and Stray cat – recap May 2014

The space between pet dog and stray cat. Sepia tinted.

The month of May came and went. I was away for a week and finally felt I have caught up with things. And then I realised the recap for last month is late. :P

So anyway, a total of 23 posts were published in May.

Here’s a rundown of the top 10 posts in May that got the most views from you:

1. Nail Cutting and Chicken – Pet diary
2. Adoptable dogs in Singapore Ikea store – Singapore
3. Cafe for dogs: III Cafe, Singapore – Singapore
4. Top 10 Online Pet Shops in Singapore – Singapore
5. Pose, Stay, Say cheese – Pet diary
6. Donna finds shelter from Thunder Phobia – Pet diary
7. Dogs on Things in Pet Photography – Pet Photography
8. Snappy H’appy Photo Challenge Week 12 – Mix It Up – Pet Photography
9. Ian Dunbar – Dog-friendly training – Pet diary
10. Where goes tuesdayChallenge? – Pet Photography

Topics pertaining to Singapore do particularly well.

General topics to do with Donna and dogs show more variable views probably because it depends on how interesting the particular topics are to you the reader. In fact, Donna at 1:00pm got the most comments and was the second most liked post by WordPress users, but isn’t even in the top 10 list.

Photography topics may look less popular compared to the others, but longer term, people with specialised interests do find their way to these pages. So in all, I think there is still a good mix here.

As Snappy H’appy wrapped up, I also started to serialise more. I don’t think it was particularly planned, sometimes I just got an idea in my head and I just plunge into it.

Here are the series that started in May and are on-going:

Cafe reviews (Monthly)

• Cafe for dogs: III Cafe, Singapore 
  

Shopping (Monthly)

• Top 10 Online Pet Shops in Singapore

1 day 1 World (Weekly)

• Donna at 12:00pm – Rain
• Donna at 1:00pm – Lounging > Most comments; 2nd most liked
• Donna at 2:00pm – Nail cutting and chicken > most viewed; most liked
• Human at 3:00pm – This dog patrols Yeliou Geo-Park
• Human at 4:00pm – Macarons for human, what about dog?
• Donna at 5:00pm – Donna visits My Waterway @ Ponggol
• Donna at 6:00pm – This cat has got OCD!
• Donna at 7:00m – Donna on the rock

Considering the Singapore-specific articles are getting more views, this is definitely something I will continue.

The 1 day 1 world series also made me capture candid moments that I probably would have missed, if I wasn’t doing this project started by NWFrameofMind. And it ended up quite popular in terms of views and interaction with you.

So if you are considering a photo project like this, I’ll say “Go for it!” ;)
