So Ellen (http://womenleadership.blogspot.com/) told me about this addictive free tool called Stat Counter that lets you track unique visitors to your site. I am not writing this blog for public consumption, but as more of a personal Web site and place to gather my Web appearances. Also as a way to stay connected with far-flung friends and family. But I thought, sure, why not?
So I installed Stat Counter and then, feeling brave, decided to make it visible. I figured, even if no one visits, I'm woman enough to handle it.
Ellen told me checking visitors can be addictive, but I held out until 2 p.m. And then I pulled up my blog and .... 1. It read 00000001. I was visitor 1.
Am I depressed? No. Because I just checked it again, and I have 3! (I made it so it won't count my IP). That means 3 people visited my site, even if nobody posted. I hope you were friends.
Click on my Stat Counter (the yellow box at the bottom) if you want to get your own.
You know, I was recently looking at stats on www.saltsite.com and was pleasantly surprised to see we get about 5,000 unique visitors a month. And about one third of them return. It's slightly depressing because this spring we peaked at about 10,000 (for the Dating issue...coincidence???) but 5,000 is not bad, I say.

Dude! I got two more visitors since I posted that a minute ago. This *is* addictive. I will have to cut myself off.
Yummy....I think my homemade meatloaf is almost done. It smells guhud!
OK. Must publicly admit my addiction and prevent the "denial" stage. So I just read another blog then thought I'd check my stat counter just one more time before logging off. Still only 5 have visited. But you're all probably still on the site, reading through the riches of my Salt essays, right? Right?
I am pathetic.
it does not seem to show up in Firefox...it was at 5 when I looked in IE :)
Mittens visits your site regularly so that should count for at least one!
Firefox Boo! Internet Explorer yay!
(thanks, mittens).
Steph, I've had trouble finding a church here in Southern Cal. If you could think of it, please pray for me. I went to two seperate Vineyards, and I didn't feel comfortable with either. this next week I am planning to go to "the River" (but isn't that a cheesy name for a church?) a Vineyard in Tustin, which is closer to where I will be moving (Irvine, Dec. 1, i'm psyched)
thank you so much,
Julia
dude, I'll visit your site throughout the day to bring your stats up. ; )
I want a stat counter of my own but I can't find your on your page to click on. Please Help!
