Shocked! Shocked, I say!
I haven’t looked at Bloggle’s metrics for a while, so I was shocked — shocked, I say — to learn that there are now more than 1,200 people visiting these pages every day… while another 500 download Bloggle’s feed daily. Curiously, there seems to be an inverse relationship between my posting frequency and the number of people who visit. Which is to say, the less I write, the more you read. I can’t claim to understand that… and I will fight the temptation to test it by writing nothing whatsoever while waiting for readership to go through the roof.
Meanwhile, I’m honored and pleased that you’d take the time to stop by this little corner of the web.
Thanks.

So, what's on your mind?
Hello.
Bloggle is the online playground of Doug Cadmus, a usability guy, writer, photographer and sometime dramatist who moved to Vermont for the coffee. When not writing, reading or walking his old, blind golden retriever, he roasts coffee in his garage and is the Web Guy for Green Mountain Coffee in Waterbury, VT.Flickr Photos

Web stats can be difficult to understand, esp. because they are often not a true representation of your traffic. I, for example, use your feed to see when there’s new stuff, but I prefer to read it from your website. So I’m being double-counted (sorry!). Regardless, congrats on the recognition — you have a great site so it is not a huge surprise more people are enjoying it.

Doh! There’s always *somebody* who’s got to confuse the issue with facts. ;)
To completely eliminate those double-counted, I could reveal that my logs for the month show 10,299 unique visitors (counted as hosts).
Which says lots of people return to visit again. (Yay!)
