64 IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER
okay, so when i started this little blog, i didn't care much if people read the stupid thing. i was just writing for writing's sake. and truly, that's really the only reason i still do. i'm not in blog-land for fame, because we all know that i lack the kind of flair or technical writing skills that would make those "blog snobs" perk up and take notice. and really, i'm okay with that... i don't need to be a fantastic writer, cause i do this for fun and it's a way to vent out my frustrations and a way to tell my dumb stories... all fine and good!
but here's what i have issues with. so you know how you can click on to "my profile" and everyone can see how many people have visited your blog and such???
WELL MINE'S BROKEN AND IT MAKES ME SO SAD!!!
how do i know this? how do i know that even though i know there have been more than 64 people view my site, it still shows that there have only been 64 people view my site? AND because i was so worried about it and neurotic, i had a friend test it for me... and i am still at 64!!!
now really... 64 isn't a bad number... 64 is great. like 64 chocolate sundaes sounds really good, or 64 dollars, i could use an extra 64 dollars.
but somewhere along the blogging path, i let the number 64 eat away at my blogging self esteem and make me self conscious that no one out there cares... DUH! how did i get to this point? when i first started writing, i only showed 6 people. they were family and really close friends... the end... and i didn't ever care if there were more. then i got going and found that some of the things i write would be fun to share with others, and i have slowly let you all in. and because of that, i have now started checking the total number of visitors... and all of a sudden, i care that it only shows 64 people have looked at it... and i just can't handle that.
WHY... WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH???!!! IT SHOULDN'T MATTER... BUT IT DOES! WAAAHHHH!
i mean, i have ACTUALLY planned the letter i am going to send the blogspot dudes to ask them to fix it.... REALLY PEGGY? IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO YOU???

YESSSSS!!!!
i know, and i can't help it. i should be happy with the fact that people have actually commented, or when i'm at church someone brings up one of my posts or when i don't write for a while, i get an email yelling at me for not posting... heck, i even have a friend who prints out my posts so she can read them on the T as her entertainment... so why isn't all of that good enough?
64... what's in a number anyway?

Peg, before you send off that letter. 64 times is the number of times your Profile has been viewed, not your blog. If you want to keep track of how many hits you get on your blog, you have to subscribe to an independent site meter service (some of them are totally free.)
Just thought you'd like to know...you really are more loved than that.
