So who exactly reads my blog? Who are you?

I had a different idea of what I was going to write about today...but I'm still mourning that little baby's passing yesterday, I'm going this route...and because thinking of him and blogging and the fact that if his dad hadn't blogged or kept up a website on Ezra, I would have never known about this little guy. I would have never known to pray for him...so, blogging is pretty cool.

So this thought sparked interest to me, since I have only given out my blog to one other person that I know, who else is reading it? I just learned how to check my stats...I noticed that someone in Ireland has checked it out and 2 other countries...it could have been an accidental click on my link, but it's very interesting to me to know if someone has happened upon my blog. I cannot even find it by google searching it unless I actually type in the title I have given it. How did anyone happen upon it?

Getting back to what sparked me wanting to know who views my website, it is amazing to me that 2 weeks ago I would google search the Matthews their website would be a few items down the list and now it is the first thing on the list...it's pretty amazing how many people have clicked on their website to view it. And it is so amazing to me how many people they have reached all over the world just because of a blog.

And then, yesterday I heard of a mom who blogged about her son dressing up like Daphne for Halloween...and her blog received over 3 million hits? What? I mean really how did that happen, for something so lame. And the funny thing is, on tv yesterday, she wanted to leave her last name anonymous and her son's name completely anonymous...and yet she blogged about it...and 3 million people hit her blog? Come on!

But it does make this all more real...all of this blogging...put on here what you don't mind sharing with the world, because obviously anyone can read it.

One thing that frustrates me though, not that just anyone can read this, but if you read it, stalk it, comment on it!! Say something to the blogger. I really do try to do this if I read someone's blog because I want to know who has read mine.

So leave me a note! I'd love to hear from you. Or don't and continue to lurk in the shadows and I'll continue to wonder who you are in Ireland or where ever you are... :)
