I wish this heavy rain would let up, so I can walk to the post office and get a mailer for Phoebe’s book (I need the exercise). But meanwhile–
Yesterday, for the first time ever, we had over 400 views on this blog for the third day in a row–never happened before. And it’s off to a good start this morning, too. Thank you, readers! And thank you, Christian bloggers, who don’t mind me reblogging some of your posts. You’re welcome to reblog any of mine.
All this, mind you, with my Facebook referrals stripped away. In January, for instance, I had over 700 of them. Now there aren’t any. That I’m doing very well without any help from Facebook is a source of great satisfaction to me.
I look forward today to spending some hours editing the copy for Bell Mountain No. 12, His Mercy Endureth Forever. I was going to go to Keyport in my newly-repaired car to pick up some of the best seafood in America at the Keyport Fishery, but I’d rather not drive on the Parkway when it’s raining.
Ooh-ooh! Is that the sun out there?
So, Facebook tried to take viewers away from you, but now you’ve gotten more? Praise God!
They didn’t just try–they succeeded.
Yes, praise God for all the views you got! The most I got was only a little over 100 in one day…
Several years went by before I got my first 100 views in one day. Your blog is growing much faster than that.
It’s thanks to SlimJim for sharing one of his posts I reblogged on his Twitter.
Reblogs of SlimJim get great readership.
My record for one day is a little over 180, thanks for all your reblogs!:)
Wow! That’s so amazing! And you just started last month?… Double wow…
And you’re welcome, Brother Elijah! Reblogging your posts and others’ is what I enjoy! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
(^_-)-☆
My average views per day is about 54.
😮My mouth gapes in awe…
A lot of those are from Japan. I wonder who it is…? 🙂
😎✌
We have had a bit more rain than we like here, too. At least more than I like. I was thinking of requesting the song, It’s Beginning to Rain, but
decided we had enough of that .LOL
OUCH! Maybe your blog is too hot; the keyboard is burning my fingers. Anyway, congratulations on your continuing and increasing success! I’m so glad to be part of this “invasion of the blog snatchers.” Don’t let go – lol.
And of course, as soon as I posted that information, the traffic slowed way, way down. It looks like the streak of 400+ is over. Oh, well, it’s still been a good day.
Welcome to the club. Nothing positive has ever happened to me that wasn’t followed by something negative, not ever in my long life. I do suspect, however, that there may be some interference here because your blog is too good for the demons to resist. When I say “Oh well, it’s still been a good day” it’s the “Oh well…” that “still” bothers me. But when you say it, it means “it’s still been a good day.” It’s just a little turbulence on the ride UP!
I spoke too soon! Made 400 after all.
Wake me when it’s 401…lol
It’s now 414, and time for me to go to bed!
We can be thankful for every good day.
Amen, Erlene!
It’s a shame about the Facebook referrals, but I fear that is the way of the world.
BTW, comments disabled on the Dogs, Cats & Babies post.
Surprisingly, I have *one* today. But only one.
Wow that’s a good high! Also if Facebook went from 700 hits to none that definitely says its with FB…
Congrats to Phoebe! After my 10 hours in ER the next day I came down sick with the worst flu in my life (I can’t remember ever having the flu?) and was sick for days and lost nine pounds. Today is the first day I don’t feel nauseated. Normal is a good place 🙂
Wow, you’ve been put through the ringer lately!I’ll keep praying for you.
Thanks, Lee. That’s exactly what I told my new primary care doctor but she didn’t seem to care.
I had a great doctor for my smashed-up elbow… but then she retired. Can’t even find her on the Internet.
