...So That Other May Read Hits 100 Posts!

That's right my inability to stop blogging has pushed me over the 100 post mark! I'm sure they aren't all winners, but it's a milestone nonetheless and a little thing to be proud of.

I plan on milking it for all it's worth.

So! During the 100 Posts there have been visitors from all over the world, who seem to mainly come by due to my post so long ago about guitar giveaways, but that isn't important right now. The blog has been visited from people the world over and it has been visited over 2,000 times. I know that's chump change to the bigger blogs but when blogs rise and fall so quickly I'm pretty pleased to see that this kind of traffic is coming to my lowly blog.

And the visitor rate has been slowly growing. It isn't really seen on a day by day scale where the numbers are more or less equal with slight growth and reductions, but on a month by month scale the sight is very impressive. Check THIS out:

Now, for those of you who can't see the numbers on this picture, I'm sure the bars really help out. The blue bars is the only one that REALLY matters when you get down to it as the orange is counted in the blue but the orange is important too. The orange represents return visitors while the blue represents ALL visitors. 24 visitors total in August when I started the blog, 123 in September, 558 in October, 741 in November and SO FAR, 139 people this month. This is current as of 7Dec08 (A day that will live on in infamy).

And let's talk MAPS! I posted a map of the most recent 500 visitors a little while back and I think they're fun to look at so this is the most current one.


I think this blog might be more popular in Europe than it is in the States!

I'm pretty pleased with this, like I have accomplished something. I'm not entirely sure what that something is, but I feel the accomplishment. I know I say it a lot but I want to say it again and please know that every time I say this, I mean it. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to read. There are literally millions of other blogs you could visit and I think it's great that mine is in there. It's because of you that the bar graph is so impressive (without a single reduction from the previous month! Hopefully this trend continues) and it is because of you that my Google AdSense account is filling up slowly but surely (just click on any ad in the top left). It's because of you that I feel good about what I'm doing and I really mean it when I say thank you.

THANK YOU!
