It's All Starting To Add Up

Thank Goodness I Didn't Need A Calculator

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Where would a blogger be without people to read his or her work? I'd like to thank all of you most sincerely for your incredible support. About 24 hours ago, someone notched up the 50,000th page view on this site. And just a few hours before that, my hit counter registered the 30,000th visit. What a memorable day. My very humble thanks to all of you who validated my decision, almost a year ago, to write at least one blogpost every day. It is only ten months since I installed a Site Meter here and it has been fairly busy recently! Thank you, everyone.

Congratulations!
You made me go and check my numbers. :-)
Honestly, on days as exhausting as today was, I probably wouldn't post, were it not for the loyal visitors and commentators. They inspire me to at least try, and that feels good, makes me slow down a bit.

P.S.:
Lately my blog doesn't show a new post for a long time, the same when I edit. Has this happened to you also?

Hi Merisi,

Thank you so much. You can certainly count me among your loyal fans.

If your new posts don;t show up, I'm just wondering. Yes it has happened to me VERY occasionally. I cannot say for sure if it is a Blogger problem or if it is PC-specific.

Try clearing your cache and your cookies. Let me know if you;re unsure how to do that and I'll tell you how ....

Keep smiling

Hi Meanie,

Hi RK,

Thank you for your kind words - an thank you too, for buying a copy of my novel.

I'd like to know what you think of it - when you finish.

Okay, I'll pay more attention to footnotes from now on!

Keep smiling

Hi Cuckoo,

Thank you for being such a regular reader and a good friend.

Footnotes are just a random addition, but I;ve had three comment today about them - so I guess I'll have to make them more regular!

Keep smiling

For the manner in which you present your ideas, you certainly deserve to be heard. Congratulations on having reached such high numbers, but really, the benefit is entirely to us, the viewers who come away with a smile after viewing your posts.
