So you're on ScienceBlogs. What interests you, what are you looking for? As a regular blogger, I wanted to know.

One way to explore these questions is to take a random sampling of keywords that readers have used to search this site. I selected the past month and scanned the top 500 terms (out of a total of 292,566 - but who's counting?)

During this past month, there were 3,860,385 visits at ScienceBlogs. I learned something interesting. Take a look at some of my favorites, listed below and ranked from high to low popularity: {I may need you to explain some of these to me! I do wonder about that reader whose "poop was green."}

Which ones would you like to see as subjects for future posts?

ScienceBlogs readers seem to be a curious, eclectic group. No wonder I enjoy writing for you.

Eating a large quantity of green vegetables will sometimes make my poop green.
Similarly, eating beets will make it red. (A disturbing experience the first time!)

I've noticed that large quantities of Oreo cookies can turn poop black.

I'd be interested in seeing what could be done with "Pokemon characters" and "Sponge Bob".
