Where in the world?

StatCounter.com's recent visitor map for my blog. Doesn't knowing where your readers are... awesome?

TWO HITS.  That’s the number of daily hits that I was expecting to get on this blog from when I first put it up.  That’s one each for Friendship and Partner, the two people who had been egging me on to blog.  At first, I didn’t want to yield.  But then again, I realized that I had been shoving my stories and whatnot down their throats almost daily through the clutter I add in their inboxes.  So I thought I could finally claim my space in the blogosphere.  At least here, they will have the option to click or not to click.

After making my first post, I said to myself, “Two hits per day would make me happy. Three would make me ecstatic!”

And thanks to StatCounter, I’m officially now way ecstatic!

You see, as I had shamelessly brandished on my recent facebook shoutout, I’ve just chalked up 10,076 unique visitors on my blog.  I was ecstatic to know that I’ve got readers here at home (28.93% of my total recent visitors).  But I was kinda surprised to know that that was just second to the 40.50% that came from the United States – from both coasts.  Third was Singapore at 8.26%, where Friendship and Partner are currently based.  There is one almost-regular visitor from Australia – could it be Summit?

I’m posting here the visitor maps, and the top ten country listing.  I really got a kick out of this!

I’m lining up a number of posts – about food, of course! – but I just have to break the routine for these stats.

This is just the top ten. I really got a kick knowing about the other countries from where I've gotten visitors!
