Okay there’s no cat involved, but I am curious. You may have noticed on my nifty little sidebar I can see where my blog visitors are coming from, but I can’t see who it is. Some days I wonder if anyone really cares what I think enough to read my blog. I know I have a few faithful readers but other than that I have no clue who is tuning in yet I see many visitors on my sidebar! So I’m asking you, as a reader of my silly unimportant blog to tell me:) Who are you?!
I whole-heartedly admit that I am a blog stalker. Mostly of people I don’t know. If I ever met these people in real life just out of the blue I could definitely have a conversation like, “Oh that dinner you made last night looked amazing!” or “I hate it too when I run out of spray paint mid-project…”yadda yadda yadda. My point is, I could get lost for hours reading blogs and I am so glad someone sits down to take the time to write something that I enjoy reading. Even if it is about the mundane tasks of everyday life or what they had for lunch that day.
So I may know you, may not, but I really do wonder…when I find out someone new reads my blog it makes my heart swell. That means for at least a small amount of time someone somewhere may be thinking about me and is also curious as to what is going on in my life. Makes me happy and makes me inclined to want to write more:)
You can email me at thejollyjames@gmail.com or leave me a comment on the blog with something as simple as “I read!”. If it’s left with an anonymous ID I still won’t be able to see who it is but if you email me you could include who you are:) I’m looking forward to finding out about YOU! And please, if you have a blog you want to share, I'd love to read it so share that too!
PS- I will be utterly crushed if I get no response. That means I really have no readers and this blog is a complete waste of my time in which I should not waste another minute of my life!
Carry on:)
Now go on, don’t be shy, show (well technically, TELL) yourself!!

I'm your Summerville, SC stalker :)
ReplyDeleteI READ!!! I READ!!! (But you already knew that :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I read! You should add your blog to Google Analytics if you are that curious! Its a feature of Google and super easy to use. It tracks the traffic on your blog and all the ways it breaks it does is very interesting! Tells you how many views per day, where they are reading from, what server they are using, ect.
ReplyDeleteOnce you put it on it may take a couple weeks before the results get interesting but I've had it on for about 6 months and it's awesome to see who's reading!
I read! :) I told you that on Facebook last night!! I have a blog as well I just don't update it very much!!
ReplyDeleteTam, your message was sweet, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSomething else I thought about when you mentioned stalking was Google Reader. It may seem slightly complicated at first but it is the BEST if you read a lot of blogs. I have about 50+ on my reader; different sections for Friends, must reads, decorating, mommy blogs, ect. I don't read them all everyday but when I have time I click on some of my favs. That way you are not wasting your time searching around for blogs, they are all right on your reader!
You are so funny!! You know I read it!! I just wish I could update mine as faithfully as I read yours!! :) I will get there I hope! I hope to update mine and remember to blog regularly...but you know I get busy and then realize DANG its been 3 weeks!! HAHA But I am glad you blog :)
