PeoriaIllinoisan goes Global
This is a snapshot of my ‘unique’ visitors in chart form for the past month. As you can see, I average 100 or so per day but flew to over 1,400 hits on Monday. Now you’d think I’d spent hours doing research and scouring old microfiche to come up with a post deserving of this type of attention. Nope. At the risk of alienating my regular readers, I strung a bunch of YouTube videos together, added some commentary, and got listed on a popular fan site.
Visitors came from all around the world- Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Ireland, Netherlands, Panama, Singapore, Finland, Austria, Canada, Sweden, France, a few “unknown country,� and of course the United States. Some of the people who stopped by live in towns with names such as Harrow, Mechelen, Latorre, Merraneset, Apeldoorn, El Dorado, Dakar, Edinburgh, Wien, Aberystwyth, Amersfoort, and Uppsala. A few even left comments, which was nice of them.
In the big scheme of things, it means very little. I don’t sell ads and I’m hardly going to change the world, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fun. Isn’t that what blogging is all about, anyway?

ismale ax and ismail ax were said today by a couple of bloggers to generate over 1000 hits per hour. Something to do with a tattoo and the virginia tech shootings. Strange how the web works.

Diane, what I learned is that I pay way too much attention to this silly blog. Who knows, someday it might actually show
