Readers Digest

Merci, Shukriya, Danke, Thank You

Where would we be with people who support us and read our blogs? Several friends of mine (too many to mention individually) have recently chalked up significant milestones. Three of them had their thousandth visit; two others went past the two thousand mark. And while they do not blog primarily to be read, per se, it certainly is a welcome boost to know that people read what they post. My thanks, too, to all of you who have shown me such incredible support. In the time since I installed a Site Meter on this blog on 1 October, I’ve been blessed with great readership. Last night, someone from the United Kingdom became the 25,000th page view in seven months. My humble thanks to you all.

Hi Bart,

Thank you, kind sir. Good gravy indeed. Very happy with that result - and it wouldn't have happened with the support that you and so many others provide every single day.

My thanks to all.

Keep looking after those azaleas.

I've been meaning to tell you...those azaleas take care of themselves. I hardly touch them...only to cut them back when they're out of bloom and just a big bush.

Bart-Man,

That's a good result. Your climate must be similar to Sydney. Here in Melbourne, they do fairly well, but as Sydney is warmer and wetter, azaleas just look sensational there!

Cheers

My site metre lived 2 days. Have yet to find another.

Interesting to note visitors from Iran and Nicaragua in that time though.

Can't imagine what they made of my blog.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

"Blogtopsites" says 3957 today though, since mid November. Started in September so maybe I'm past 4000. Huge increase in last month. Thanks for your support!

I IS nice to know people drop by as it keeps me going on days I feel like I might not- & I like the comments, and replying to them.

Hi BTBear,

You can always count on my support. That's a great result - and I've been watching a steady increase in the number of comments you get.

That is such a good sign - because it's normally regular readers who comment. Win-win situation each way.

You do a great job and you deserve the traffic.

Will always be there to support you and the others.

Cheers

David

HI BTBear,

Just saw your other comment. Takes nore than honey to keep a bear going. Like blogs, and blog comments, maybe!

People comment on your blog because they have an opinion - and when you respond to the comment, it really is reciprocating personal attention.

Keep smiling

Hi Cecilia,

You have been a constant supporter - and it wouldn't have happened without you.

I really enjoyed your latest posts - as you can see by the comments I left.

Enjoy your break.

Cheers
