Easily amused

Today I am thankful for what some (or maybe most) would consider rather silly. I am thankful for blogger and the various tracking methods it uses. I am thankful that I can see that I have friends from all over the world who read, or at least have read, my blog. I'm having a hard time figuring out who from Russia is reading my blog. If you want to tell me who you are, feel free :-)

I am able to see when the best time is to post that I've updated my blog-well ok, I haven't mastered this yet, but there was one night that I had 73 views-that was incredible to me. I have learned that there are people in 9 countries who have read my blog-the US and the CZ have the biggest numbers, but then I've had people read from Russia, North Africa (I know the country, but it will remain nameless to protect those who have read-thanks for reading!), Germany, Liberia, Vietnam and Azerbaijan. Before last year, I had never even heard of Azerbaijan! I hope to add more countries, but that means I need to meet more people, hahaha (I won't lie, I do kind of wish that they broke down the US by state-but oh well!).

I have learned that 57% of my readers have read from a Windows operating system, while only 24% have read from a Mac operating system. Then others use either Android, iPhone or iPod. And possibly the biggest surprise of all-27% of the views come from Internet Explorer. And interestingly Safari is used more than Chrome. I will take this opportunity to recommend Chrome-though I suppose one of the biggest draws for me is that it will translate whole webpages-I guess it wouldn't be useful for many of you. It's incredibly useful for me, though :-) I even learned about a new operating system (well new to me) called RockMelt, as well. Oh, and "sites" are sending people to my blog, but when I try to find out what they are, they are just junk types of pages. That's fascinating to me... wonder what the real story is. Anyway, I am sure this information is not interesting at all to you, but I am thankful for it-or at least some of it :-)
