I started this blog sometime back at the very end of February. I remember the first day that I was excited about getting 15 views in a day, then breaking 30, then 50. For a long time my record has been 75 views in one day (is this embarrassing? I’m not sure what other people run/ran in their 2nd month). Yesterday it seemed like I might finally surpass that again. I figured that maybe I’d end up with 80 views or so. Nope, I finished up with 112! 66% more views than my previous highest day! To celebrate, I want to steal an idea from Natasha at Maw Books (who I think stole the idea from others) and thank everyone who stopped by this month. I can’t thank you if you don’t leave a comment, so leave a comment in this coming month and get mentioned at the beginning of June!

Thanks for the nod! How do you manage to get so many visitors to your blog? Do you write the url on all the bathroom walls? ;o)

You know, I’m not sure. I’ve tried to leave my URL anywhere it wouldn’t be spammy to do so, and comment on other people’s blogs.

Wow, congratulations. I thought you had been blogging for a while!

Okay, I was nowhere near 75 a day at two months in! You are doing GREAT!! Way better than I was. At two months I was begging my mom and sister to leave comments so it would look like somebody was reading my blog. I remember when I was trying so hard to get above 15 visitors and then 30. And then 100. And so on. I’d wake up in the morning and wonder how many people visited my blog yesterday? Kinda sad when that’s the first thing you think about! Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I definitely wasn’t actually averaging 75 a day, but now the last couple days have been absolutely destroying previous records for some reason, so I’m very encouraged.

Congratulations! I love your blog and am happy to be a frequent comment leaver.
