It appears that I have had rather a lot of what's known in the Blogging trade as "page views" since I started.
Now, I didn't pay much attention to this at first, because I assumed that the majority of that would be me, looking at, logging into and correcting spelling and grammar mistakes on various posts (and yes, I know that there is a "preview" button. And a "spell check" button, for that matter. I just don't ever remember to use it), with the odd two or three coming from my devoted public (...all one of you. Hi fan!).
BUT! Today I was sat here having just confiscated the tennis ball (he's still sulking) and I was just about to log out when on a whim I pressed the "more information" link underneath "page views", and as it turns out, my original assumption is not so. There are indeed quite a few "page views" specifically by me, but some of them are from elsewhere in the UK. AND in fact, the UK and even the USA aside, it turns out that I have had people... lots of people...taking a peek at my Blog, from all over the world!
The list goes as follows:
How cool is that?!
That makes 745 people - make that 697; apparently I've "viewed" my own Blog that often. Need to use those buttons, I really do - that have at least looked at, if not read bits of, my humble little Blog. Why, that's just a few hundred away from a thousand! Maybe not overly impressive on the ridiculously vast scale that the Internet tends to deal in, but still pretty damn good, don't you think?
I'm well chuffed with that. Yay!
Who are all these people, though? I must investigate further - anything to leave the vacuum and mop where they are - and see if I can find out.
And more to the point; if they came and saw, why didn't they leave a comment or two before they left?
It would make my day to have a comment from, say, a person from the Ukraine; it really would.
So come back, people, and bring your wit and insight with you! I won't bite, I promise!

There's a lot of "lurkers" out there . . . in fact, I'm often one myself. We breeze in, enjoy a good read, and then quietly - without a sound (or comment) breeze out.
ReplyDelete...Yeah... I do that too, actually; on quite a few websites, so on that I shouldn't have complained about other people doing it to me. I wasn't thinking.
ReplyDeleteI'd still like to get a comment from someone from the Ukraine though.
