Don't ask me why because I don't know the answer but my Yahoo blog has received 20,118 hits since I set it up last February.

I don't do anything at all to promote it and it attracts visitors all by itself. My blogger blog doesn't receive nearly the same attention. Weird.

Intriguing . . .

Great going, Shelagh. I know I've added to that number a few times. Gongrats on the poety award, too.

Thanks Pol! I keep a close eye on your blog too!

It's now 37,077!

Wow, Shelagh. Some of it may be the "way of things" out on Yahoo, but a lot probably has to do with what you're saying there.

Am I looking at it right? It appears you haven't posted there since June and all those hits are coming in anyhow???

Keep it going!

It makes you wonder if the stat counter is working correctly. I do get a buzz out of it but I suspect there's something wrong.

It depends on what kind of stat counter you have. Does it record unique visitors? Spiders trigger a visit on many stat counters, and if you blog is hosted by Yahoo it may have spiders crawling your site. Of course, it could just be what you are saying...

As you can see, it has been viewed 33 times since I made the last post.

It has to be your picture, Shelagh.

I think Dick said it all. You should feel very proud, Shelagh...

Well spotted Dick and Abdul! I added two blogs to 2,000 bloggers (too late to be added to the list now!) and one picture receives 50 times more hits than the other. Size matters! here are the two pictures:

It is up to 48,725! If I knew the secret, I would share it!

OK, I fell for it and called up that site. Now will you tell me what it was that I was looking at other than a bunch of faces?

As for why so many people visit your blog, I told you the reason. Weren't you listening?

If we're voting on pictures, I like them both but the second one best, which actual is the first that I saw on the PA board. So does everyone else if I understood you correctly.

They do. Me with a big head seems to be the preference. afro

I would never have been the first to say you have a big head.

I don't. In fact, my brain is quite small. Explains a lot, doesn't it?
