Blog stats facinate me

To date, 8,446 people have read my blog.  As I type, 15 people are reading one post or another all around the world "now", one of the categories bloggers can check.  I have few followers because you don't have to be one to read it, but thousands of readers.  They live mostly in Canada and the US, but also in Russia, Germany, the UK, Malaysia (Hi Tina), Argentina, India, China, Latvia, Korea and Brazil....among others. 

Readers are using mostly windows, but also mac's, ipads, iphones, linux and blackberries.  Facinating -- and a little daunting if I let myself think about it.  So, I don't.

The most-read blog remains one I wrote on June 30, 2010, entitled "One little, two little, three little Indians", no clue why?  The next most popular is one from October 4, 2010, called "Prostitutes and Pillars of the Community".  The word "prostitute" in the title probably attracts the perverts; they will be disappointed it's not porn.  The Esquire Show Bar review and the one about drug-addict Whitney Houston's death also rank right up there, as does my take on "High Heels in London".  I don't mind admitting that it's cool to see how the number of people reading me has mushroomed since I began in 2008.  How can it have been four years!?

As I have said many times, I blog for myself because having been a writer all my life I love to write, but it's kind of neat to think you can amuse, bore or annoy (I was going to say "piss off", but became daunted at the last minute) thousands around the world.
