AIBU to wonder if anyone reads my blog?

[Spacehoppa]

AIBU to wonder? Sorry its so self regarding but I write it nearly every day and wondered if anyone was reading? I also wondered if there was any way of seeing what visitors you had?

can you post a link?

on mn blog? i dont think there is

you could create a profile so people can click on your name and link directly to your blog

I am new here.

How do i read your blog?

click on the 'blog' tab right at the top of the page in light blue above the 'food' tab

for those of us with brighter blue names ( see diff between me and spacehoppa?) you can click on our names and that will link you to the threads weve been on, blog and pictures - you can have one too if you create a profile

Thanks for the info Custardo-I think a lot of people don't know the blogs are there. Others when they try to blog can't work the app out. I haven't got mine swanky yet with pictures or anything but its still there on blogs with whatever my Miss has been getting up to most recently.I didn't know about the threadlinks-thanks- I am off to put a profile on...

well, well.
i never knew there were blogs on here!

i've read some of yours Spacehoppa- i like the spelling one!

no problem

I just had a look. YABU, it's dull.

thats not necessary floopy, don't listen op

why is Floopy being criticised for a valid opinion?
OP I don't know about a blog counter.

As a general point, I do think once you have kids, your life is suddenly so bloody fascinating - TO YOU.

I think you have to be extremely talented to convey your everyday domestic dramas to the rest of the world in a way that is entertaining and interesting.Because we all have them

OP there are many web/blog site counter stats available that will give you reams of fascinating information about where your viewers are from, what browser they use, which pages they visit, how they found your site, which search engine etc.... this can be very useful if you are serious about your blogging. Blogspot, which is one of the most commonly used blog sites ( I use it) even now has this in a simple form, built in, so you can accesss it from the dashboard. Before this, I was using a package called Stat Counter which I was happy with, I'm sure other people can recommend others. On a website, I use Google Analytics which again is very useful for monitoring site usage, user details, popular pages,etc .

Please don't worry about having small numbers to start with, it takes time to build up an audience, if that is important to you. It helps to be clear about who your intended audience is - if it is just for family and friends there is nothing wrong with that, but you won't be pulling in numbers like someone who is more outward looking. Horses for courses I think.

I'm writing a blog with Blogspot. I find I have become addicted to looking at the stats pages to see whose reading at the moment, where they live etc.

I also like the little graphs of hits over the month....

Yes - I know I'm sad

ss send me a link please

Link is on my profile... but it's here:

Spacehoppa, I never knew there were blogs on here! just read it.

It made me...

and hope

Hi OP- I just had a look. I really like the washing up fairy story :)

Sassy I read your blog last night and was really moved by the content and how articulate and well written it was. ALthough I didnt see that it was updated everyday...

This is when i might sound odd... I have to admit following your 'story' somewhat on the bereavement boards. My family had a similar situation to yours when I was very young and I've lived in the repercussions ever since without it ever being discussed. I read those posts to try and understand how it was for my mother.

Ive a huge amount of respect for Sassy. Look after yourself.
