While the blog is approaching the one year anniversary of its start, it's really been an interesting learning experience. Besides the learning part of it, the discipline of writing 200 or more words in the morning before work for now almost 200 entries has been fun. And last month, I added some statistics tools so that I could have a look at what kind of traffic this boring old thing attracts...really, it's an honor that people from all over the world are reading.
The tools are a Site Meter and Cluster Map, and they are both over in the right hand column, at the bottom. The Site Meter keeps the traffic count on a continuous basis, but the Map will accumulate location hits on a monthly basis, and start over. But here is a snapshot of the traffic from Site Meter for August: first graph is by continent share, second by country. There were visitors from all continents except Antarctica (the data granularity doesn't indicate this, so I verified on the Cluster Map - there were visitors from South America and Australia)...and there is a wide range of countries represented.
In the words of World Party, from the Goodbye, Jumbo CD - "Thank you world."

A couple of smart-ass remarks and observations on the pie charts (mmm, pie charts...):
1) What does 1% "Unknown" in the first chart mean? Have you notified SETI about this yet? (And why would E.T. want to be checking out your little ol' blog when he should be "phoning home"?)
B) In the Country chart, I noticed that, after the U.S., Spain and Italy have checked out your blog the most. Maybe you should throw in some foreign phrases more often to bump up the total viewings abroad. You don't know any foreign languages, perhaps?
I'm surprised you commented on this. I expected to hear from you about the farm animals.
