Wondering What You’re Searching For
WordPress provides nifty stats on its blogs, including which search terms led readers to this site. One from yesterday is, how can it be possible for a 400lbs woma That’s it. If there was more to it, it’s been cut off. So I wonder … what was this user trying to find out?
