An Authors Question

As you've undoubtedly all noticed I have a stats counter on the right hand side of the main page of this blog. 

This counter records how many times people navigate to the blog; to date that has been 300.


There is also an administrative 'stats' tool that is available to me that records the number of 'page views'.  Essentially when someone navigates to the blog then views 5 posts (pages), the stats counter on the main page will go up by 1 and the page views by 5.  Thus far there have been 824 'page views'.


Another feature of the stats tool is the ability to view the page views by day, week, month,  all time and country of origin.


Obviously the bulk of these views have originated in Australia, but the interesting thing from my perspective is that I've had 50 views from Canada and 29 from the United States.  There have been a couple from a few other countries such as Denmark and Mexico (probably my cousin) but they are no where near the volume from the first two countries.


I personally know all of the 'Followers' that are listed under the stats counter and know that none of them reside in either of those countries.


If you are a reader from one of those two countries I'd love to hear from you and find out what you think of this blog.  I get regular feedback from most of the 'Followers' but am yet to receive some from any other source. 


You are more than welcome to join the blog as a 'Follower' (it takes about 5 minutes and costs nothing), but if you don't wish to please feel free send an e-mail to russandtaryn@bigpond.com as I'd really like to get your opinions on what I've written.


Thanks for reading


Regards


Prux
