I've got a blog traffic feed widget set up, way in my bottom right corner. You probably haven't scrolled down far enough to see it.
But it sees you.
This widget records the general locations of the servers that hit my blog, and summarizes them. I have a rather unusual pattern of traffic, with these countries represented (percentage of my traffic in brackets):
USA [84%]
Canada [6%]
Malaysia [3%]
Germany [2%]
United Kingdom [2%]
Thailand [2%]
India [2%]
Why do they add up to 101%? Rounding, silly.
Most of my traffic is from my favorite readers, in Dearborn, Petoskey, Rockford, West Bloomfield, Plainfield IL, Eden Prairie MN, Clementon NJ, Los Angeles CA, and many others. You know who you are :)
I even know if you are on Windows or Mac OS X, and what browser you use!
I wonder why someone in Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein Germany would want to read my "Scabbooking" post. I'll never know, I guess, nor do I really want to.
More troubling: western Canada seems to be fixated on "-Ectomy Day".
Perhaps most interesting of all is the event of Maddie's first pedicure, which is loved and read about all over the world.
