are you reading?

I've long been curious about how many people read my blog. I know my regular readers, but how many people stumble across my blog? In hopes of answering that question, I've decided to add a stat counter at the bottom of the page. I know this may end up being depressing--maybe my regular readers are my only readers--but I thought I'd give it a try. As of this writing, 10 minutes after adding the stat counter, I have exactly one hit . . . and it's me. By this time tomorrow, I should have at least five or six hits, right? I know my mom will check to see if I've posted anything new . . .

  1. Well, Bec, I subscribe to your blog's feed via Bloglines, so I don't usually actually visit your page, even though I read every post. So, that will skew your stats slightly, I believe. Did you know that you can also connect your facebook notes to your blog feed? It's kind of a nice added feature! :)

  2. I was just going to say the same thing. I read all your posts through my Google Reader.. so it won't show up on your stats.

  4. Yeah, I didn't think about the whole blog reader thing. I should have, since I get all the blogs I read through Google Reader!

    Anonymous--You will stand and be counted anonymously . . . I love it!

  7. I randomly found your page. I like seeing what you are reading, and your book reviews.
    I am getting bored with some of the "christian fiction" that I read. I love all books by Karen Kingsbury. I also loved Randy Alcorn's, The Ishbane Conspiracy, & Safely Home. But I appreciate other new recommendations. Thanks.

    Nice to know you're out there! Safely Home is one of the best books I've ever read. Hmmm, that's a thought for a new post--my favorite books! Karen Kingsbury is without question my favorite author; some others I really enjoy are Susan May Warren, Ted Dekker, and Mindy Starns Clark.

  9. I'm reading! Sometimes I just get behind... I subscribe too with Google Reader, but when I comment, it takes me to your blog, which is then counted! :)

  10. Thanks for the book recommendations. I just finished the first book by Susan May Warren "Happily Ever After". It was good, although somewhat obvious plot. But I guess everyone can't be a Karen Kingsbury.
    Next I am reading Ted Dekker.

    Btw- I just heard the song Karen Kingsbury co-wrote "Walls" by Richie McDonald. It's pretty good.
