The Stats Blow Me Away

One fun thing about writing a blog is to monitor the stats.  I find it interesting to see what posts are being looked at.  Funny enough, the post I wrote about mom's birthday, it's entitled SixtyTwo, has had the most hits of any other post in recent weeks.  Who knew?  As I analyze that the only thing I can think of is that I mentioned 5 Crowns.  Those searching for information on the game were treated to a story about how mom managed to win and was doing a fine job rubbing in her victory.  I am certain this was quite informative.  I hope the story was entertaining.  If you are reading this entry as a result of a 5 Crowns search let me provide a little feedback on the actual game.  It is quite fun.  You should play it. 

There are readers of The Family Fountain from around the world.  The highest volume coming from the United States with Russia actually coming in second.  Then there are a host of other Countries with readers that somehow stumbled across this blog.  Thanks for checking in. 

I've debated the idea of selling advertising space and making money on the blog.  Blogger allows you to do that but it would require that I write about products specifically and I would have to encumber my blog with ads related to the content of the post.  I didn't start this for that purpose so I really don't think I will go down that road.  This is my journal and is much more legible than my years of hand written journals.  It is nice to be able to actually read what I have written.  It also helps that I can edit this one fairly easy and there is spell check.  Some nights I don't get the spell check done and I review the next day to find that I really should have done it. 

Actually, I don't mess with the spell check when I type the blog on my phone.  It is too much of a pain so I post it and then wait to edit until I am back on the computer.  It works out okay.  I am sure there are some who have read my non edited posts and have scratched their heads wondering what the heck I was thinking.  The fact is I fall asleep while writing on a regular basis.  Sometimes I just have to quit because I am getting nowhere. 

So yes, the stats blow me away sometimes.  I enjoy seeing what stories or posts have been looked at.  I hope the message somehow reflects the impressions I was trying to express.  It is not an easy thing to do.  Hey, just for fun I am going to close with this - Packed with peanuts, Snickers really does satisfy.  We'll see now if this post can top SixtyTwo.  It's for fun.
