Here’s Looking at You (Creepily)

Alternate titles: "Feeling a Lot Bloggy" or "I See You: Stalking My Blog Stalkers"

So in one of my previous blog posts I mentioned that more people would read some jerk's t-shirt than my blog. As painful as that truth was (not very: only 1 tear shed), it revealed something a little surprising. I have more than the expected five blog readers. I have about five regulars who comment quite regularly and a few irregulars who comment quite irregularly—also a few irregular regulars who irregularly comment regularly (try saying that 50 times real fast). These are basically family/psudofamily/pretty much family/soon-to-be-family-in-4-days types. But I had several people comment in person (people still communicate this way?) that they read this or that blog about this random dumb occurrence or the other. So I wondered how many people read this boring long obnoxious garbage? I originally only started writing this because Rachel wanted me to. I was feeling just a 'lil bloggy at the time. But I guess other people also don't totally hate it. That's nice.

So Rachel found a way for me to stalk my blog stalkers. So now I know yesterday I had 26 visits—half from me probably (I am such a smart charming handsome narcissist, can you blame me?)—from four Southwestern states, mostly Utah. Those crazy Mormons love me. I had 19 unique visitors. Do I even know 19 people? I guess I am feeling a lot bloggy, since I have been posting these things daily now. So thanks I guess if you are reading this. I am not sure exactly what I am thanking you for but here's looking at you, kids. That isn't a creepy thing to say at all.

  3. Are you using Google Analytics? But I think that can only track IP addresses, so multiple people who use the same computer are only counted as one.
