Coming soon…visit #20,000!

WOW…this morning I checked my site meter, which tells me how many visits I’ve had since I signed up for the meter on February 17, 2006, and where you are from (in very general terms, like city and state, except that even that is not all that accurate…I know someone locally who visits from Belfast, but since they have Adelphia, it tells me they are from Rockland, a town in the other direction!). As of a few moments ago, it was 19,546 visits…WOW!

To celebrate the 20,000th visit, I’ll send one of my patterns as a gift to the individual who surfs in at 20,000 (and if that person doesn’t reply in about a week or so after the announcement, I’ll work my way upwards to 20,001 etc. until someone replies). Whoever wins can have the pattern of their choice from my pattern page on my website.

I TOTALLY love my site meter…I love seeing repeat place names like Paw Paw, Michigan; Friday Harbor, Wash; Spanish Fork, Utah; Pusan-ji, Korea; Melbourne, Australia; and I can guess that my friends Kathy, Hannah, Deborah and Kate, Sally and Jaquie have visited if China, Bowdoinham or Bangor, Maine, Lewisville, TX or Putney, VT, appear. If you click on the ClustrMap in the sidebar area (on the right of your screen) you can see a map of where folks come from…all over!

My farthest away visitors are from New South Wales (is that you, Fay?) or Western Australia (Dijanne?), both at over 11,000 miles from here! My closest are those that register as coming from Rockport, Maine, 5 miles away! (it’s probably closer even…just a couple miles to the Y in Rockport). And I’ve had visitors from all 50 US states and virtually every continent except Antartica…way cool! So let’s see who and where the pattern will go!

    I agree. It’s just amazing, isn’t it! When I look at that map, I feel odd posting about such USA-centric stuff like reality tv shows.

    Where did you get your site meter? It sounds so cool.

    I have a site meter and love looking where visitors come from. The world is a small place when sitting by a computer.

    You are doing a great job and the world thinks so too!

    It’s fascinating watching the red dots appear on the world map, isn’t it? I’d never seen it until your blog- amd now I have one on mine. But I have a very long way to go to reach 20,000 visitors!
