Thank You!

I've just figured out how easy it is to connect to the blogs of other people who comment on web sites that I like. I love finding these things out slowly, because that way maybe I can keep myself busy for the rest of my allotted time. No sense using up all of the good shit all at once!

What I have discovered is that there are a lot of nice blogs out there. Informative, well written, hell, even lots of nice graphics, really entertaining stuff. So my point is, I see a lot of blogs that get fewer comments than I do. I must admit that my first thought was not to bemoan that fact, but to celebrate it as a victory. I felt like I'd just gotten a medal! Validation! Isn't that what we all want? Just a little acceptance? It's what I want, I won't lie to you.

So, thank you, my faithful double-dozen. Thank you very much!

I remember I read somewhere that the average readership of a typical blog is 1.
You have 24? You sure you're not double- or triple-counting the same people?

It's a lonely job. But somebody's got to do it.

A couple of hits everyday are me, for one thing, and I've never made a scientific study of the whole pattern, but the counter seems to go up everyday at a pretty good clip. I mean, it's no "Boing-Boing" but the hits are there, somehow.

Also, I figure four or five readers for everyone who leaves a comment, so the hits seem real. I deeply appreciate the visits, and the comments.

Thanks, Cletis. I'm working on putting that feature on this blog too, and you'll be there, with a Gold Star!
