I made a couple of mistakes.

I thought that because the stat counter at the bottom of this page was approaching 2,000 visits that I was saying something interesting, something fun that people liked reading. It looks like I was wrong, that was one mistake.

The other one was in actually looking at the stats. I didn’t know I could see more information until someone pointed it out to me so I got curious and looked. Turns out that only about 3 or 4 people read this blog more than once. About 85 percent of the visits are one-time only; people who glance at it and move on.

Suddenly it’s not as much fun as before. Oh well, it was only an experiment anyway. Thanks to those few people who were kind enough to leave comments.

    According to stats globally, you're somewhere in at least the 50th percentile on readability: the average blog has NO readers whatsoever, aside from the owner...and it takes time to build up a readership! Patience, patience: if you write it, they will come--slowly, to be sure, but come nonetheless. And it's clear from the readership here that you fill a necessary void in the online community as well...

    Thanks, that makes me feel better. You are both really nice.

    Another point to consider is that many of us use a "reader" that grabs new content; don't believe that all of those will "register" in your counter. Having said that, I should make the slight effort in commenting more, as I really do enjoy your blog!
