This blog began in October 2004. Since then we have had more than 500,000 visitors according to Site Meter - which is the standard used by serious web sites to measure the number of visitors.
The count is shown on the right sidebar just below the calendar. Click on the Site Meter button to see the total hits, average daily hits, hits for the current day and hits for the last hour. Most web sites hide their site counter.
A few blogs get thousands of hits per day. Some get less than 10 visits per day.
The blogs with heavy traffic are almost always “niche” blogs targeting a specific topic or field such as health, food, a particular hobby, politics etc.
Journal blogs are online diaries posted for anyone to read. They are generally of interest to family and a few close friends and generate very little traffic.
This can best be categorized as a potpourri blog. It covers a wide variety of subjects including photos of family and friends, human interest and ‘back of the book’ news items and whatever happens to grab our attention at the moment.
I was told when this blog began that potpourri blogs are “Rodney Dangerfield blogs” -- they get no respect and that I would be lucky to get more than a couple of dozen visits per week.
Well, here we are four years later with a half million hits! Who knew? Anyway, thanks for stopping by come back as often as you like.
