I just can't help it. I love going to my Statcounter page and seeing how many hits I have gotten on the blog and where they come from. It's part of my morning routine now.I figured this thing might get popular with the local crowd and maybe my family in Oregon and Washington. It tickles me no end to see where my readers are. On a recommendation from Donna, I got a hit from London, England. That has apparently spread a bit and now I am getting ten or twelve hits from there a day. Thank, Donna! The other day I got a hit from Lima, Peru and one from Moscow, Russia and this morning there was a fresh one for the very first time from inside China! I get the occasional tickle from France, Indonesia and the Phillipines, even now and then from Sweden and Finland and once from Poland.
I just hope they can read mangled english.
The usual crowd is still coming in, of course. Guy and g and Loopy and Auntie (of course) and the Midtown Miscreant and my Dad (whose hyperlink doesn't seem to be working, humph) and BA and all the crew at work. And I seem to have a new hardcore group up in Ohio and a new group in California along with the gang up in Michigan and over in Wisconsin.
If I've missed anybody, I'm sorry. It's not laziness, just running out of time. Been having some intermittent power problems the last couple of days that keeps shutting me down and I'm losing things. Going to go buy me a battery backup today.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. You guys keep me at this. You make my day.
Bonjour from France!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup. And that's about the limit of my french. And not even sure I spelled that right! (grin)
ReplyDeleteBecause I started blogging on AOL, a lot of my hits are AOL people, and darn it, you can't tell where they are from, except that it says USA! Always keep in mind that some of your regular readers may read you through bloglines, and they don't show up on your count at all. And yet they read most everything you write.
ReplyDeleteChecking in from California. I got your link from Midtown Miscreant and have been reading the last few weeks. You're one of my daily reads.
ReplyDeleteDonna- I see a bunch of AOLers show up as coming from Kansas. I don't know why. When i looked at google reader last, 1 person had subscribed. It's strange. But I'm having fun and decompressing without breaking things. It's a plus.
ReplyDeleteJoe- Welcome! I'll try to be entertaining. Failing that, I'll try not to be too gross. Failing that, I'll just tell you what happened with my day. (grin)
Hey Rev, post a link to the online application. I smell a whole bunch of potential CO's out there. (I was wondering what that smell was!)
ReplyDeleteBA- I think it's more like slowing down to look at an accident on the highway. This is the kind of thing everybody wants to see, but not experience for themselves.

ReplyDeleteI'm still here. Barely, but here.
