This is going to be a teeny tiny post, without any lesson to learn. I'm warning you right now, so if you don't want to read this, then don't, but it'll only take up maybe two minutes of your time, depending on how fast you read. I think that if you finish reading this, it might be worth it. Okay, here we go:
I would greatly appreciate it if you told me you read my blog. Here's why: Right after I posted, "Today and Tomorrow", I checked my stats (pageviews, etc.) for this blog. It said that I had seven pageviews just yesterday, and already 10 today... It's noon. I don't even know three people who read this! I know of one, and maybe one more. That's it! I'm kind of shocked where this came from. Also, I had almost 250 pageviews last month, and around 200 this month. That means that on average last month, I was getting eight pageviews a day. I didn't know how correct this was, but I then did some "experimenting" and found out that it is accurate. It also told me what browser people were using (Safari for iPod or iPhone users was at around 75%, next in line came Internet Explorer, then Mozilla Firefox, then a few things I have never heard of) and what device people were using to look at my page (iPhone was 51%, then iPod at 25%, then computer, some other things I never heard of, and lastly, Android at 4%). I know one person reading this has an iPhone, I have an iPod (but I alone do not make up 25%), but I don't know where everything else came from! I think the thing that surprised me the most was the countries that the traffic was coming from. I had 400 page views from the US (duh), but then one from Colombia, one from Brazil, one from Thailand, three from the UK, four from Germany, and 52 from Russia? What? With these stats, I have NO IDEA who most of these readers are. So, no, you do not have to tell me if you're reading this... But I would appreciate it! Aside from asking you to tell me who you are, (of you want to), there was another reason to this seemingly-unimportant post.
I want to thank you for reading this. Like I said before, my goal was never to have a "popular" blog. It was to simply put my thoughts out there. No, this blog is not "popular", but it is a lot more successful than I thought it would be. I don't want people to be talking about my blog, I want people to be thinking about what I had to say. I think I may have accomplished that. I hope I have. So thank you for reading this nonsensical post. Thank you for reading my blog at all.
