For those who don't have a blog, there is a fun little button called stats. The stats tell you what countries are visiting your blog, the referring sites they come from, and how many visits you get by day/week/month. And I must say I am totally addicted to this little function! I would like to look at it 20 times a day if I could! It's really a problem, but we all know I don't do well with self control!
Anyway, the other day I noticed Norfolk Island had made it into the top 10th spot of countries. Which prompted me to think, where the heck is Norfolk Island? Is it a country? And why I am so popular there? (And by popular I mean 3 views : )
I feel like I'm pretty good with geography compared to my average fellow countryman, but this elluded me.
A google search revealed Norfolk Island is in the vicinity of Australia and New Zealand. The tourism web site is beautiful and apparently they just got a world heritage site listing. Yay for them!
Anyway, I invite my mysterious Norfolk Islander to stop by and comment! Tell us more and let us know if you'd like a few notes and postcards from around these parts. I have to say, I definitely learned something this week.
Keep learning and sending!

I have to admit that i didn't know about it, either, so now i learned where Norfolk island is :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about "stats" -- I find them fascinating too. I cannot figure out how people in all kinds of exotic places find my blog (and yours). I wonder if your viewer will comment...I also wonder why you can have 100 views a day and no comments....I'll check back to see if your mystery viewer writes you.
ReplyDeleteI think comments are nearly as addictive as stats. They give you a sense of connectedness and as though what you say is of interest!
ReplyDeleteI humbly await any mail you send my way : )
