Are you "lurking" on my blog?

It's hard to understand when people are being serious or funny so please read this in a humorous light. Okay, I have to address this issue...who is reading my blog? I have a counter on my blog that counts how many people visit, their location, how long they spend on my site, and if they were referred by another site. Now I have an idea of what kind of activity my blog brings and what parts of the country people are from. So here's my issue, if I'm giving you some entertainment of videos, pictures of my family, and funny dialogue then I deserve a little something from you. Is a little comment here or there too much to ask? I just think it's weird that people come "lurk" around my blog and peep into my life, but don't leave anything behind. So if you read my blog, leave a comment. It doesn't have to be every entry, or every day...just a little somethin' somethin' so I know who's checked my blog. I also want to address to all my family. I hate asking, "Have you checked my blog?" I'd like to think of it in this respect, I don't call someone to ask them if they got the e-mail I sent them. That is the whole point of sending an e-mail...so you don't have to call them! So if you leave a comment, then I know you've checked my blog. So all you friends of a friend, husbands of my friends, co-workers of Ryan, and any other "lurkers" out there. Please leave a comment and let me know who you are, what you think, and anything else. And please who is the person checking my blog in San Leandro, reveal yourself! I'm grateful for your visits and I don't want to discourage you from coming. So please continue to check out my blog and enjoy what I have to say.

Brittany,

I have you on my "links" at the top of my browser to remind me to check up on you from time to time :) Haha, so I'll be one of the ones checking your blog from the New York City area :) Tell Ethan I said hi.

Ok, my most sincere apologies! I have been lurking, and not commenting! Forgive me! I miss keeping up my blog, and I guess I'm just a little jealous... jk. We had to get rid of that cause of our scary neighbor... glad those days are gone. Can't wait to see ya in two weeks!

umm i sometimes check you at work, plus you're on my sidebar so people who check me probly check you. i want to see who's looking at my bloggie. i have a counter, but i don't know how to check it to see where people come from. maybe you could fill me in:)

also- i hear tale that you are moving to KELLER!!! oh my fricking gosh!! we are practically going to be neighbors!!!! i am so excited! i can't wait to let ethan and dave play together. when are you moving?

barb said...

hmmm... well i started using a counter like yours at the bottom of my page cause now you have me wondering who's "lurking" around my page. I'm the one from arlington by the way- even though i don't live in arlington. kinda spooky huh? well, not really, actually...

Liz said...

I sure check it! :) But how could one not, with pictures of such a cute little boy! That really bugs me too- who is out there? Leave a stinking comment! But I was wondering... how do you do the counter thing? That is really interesting- I'd like to put one on mine. You always find the cool bloggie stuff!
LoveLiz

Liz said...

Oh weird! I just clicked on your clicker to see if I could figure out how to do it, and that is crazy that you can see everything about who came to your page!! Now I look like the blog stalker because I check all my friends blogs whenever I am bored! :) (Which is rather often...)

barb said...

yeah me too. plus i look like i'm stalking my own blog to see if anyone commented. i kind of look like i'm trying to "sweeten my numbers" if you know what i mean:)

Hey Britt, I have to admit to "lurking" I guess. I love to check up on your latest postings to see what Ethan is up to, but don't always take the time to comment. I haven't posted anything on my blog forever so I enjoy looking at yours instead! Now I feel guilty!

Hey Brit,
I'm here from time to time...to see how you, Ryan, and little Ethan are doing!..and who can resist the adorable pictures and videos of baby E! I hope to meet him someday!

Miss and love you all!

I'm guilty of never commenting although I check your blog all the time. You are the only one who actually updates yours fairly regularly. P.S. Good lesson today.

I pretty much concur with what everyone has said so far. Yes, I lurk. But it's all Barbie's fault. I check out everyone from her blog. Thanks for commenting on mine, though! I'm glad you are moving to Keller- that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live! Seriously.

Oh, and no one comments on my blog either. I am like Barbie. I would comment on my own blog just to make myself feel better!

P.S. Was Pirates of the Carribbean any good? It's getting mixed reviews!

I was lurking from Eden, Ut for a few weeks! Now I will be lurking from good ole Cali again... Good to be back!

Liz said...

Okay now I'm the blog stalker even more. I figured out how to put the counter/tracker on mine, though, finally- thanks! It's a great idea. I do check yours a lot- but maybe not as many times as it might say I did yesterday, because I showed it to my husband and he thought it would be funny to push refresh and go back a bazillion times to make me really look like a freak. :)

Ok, so we are Joe and Amanda. Joe and Ryan are old friends, and we just like to "lurk" as well and check on your cute family!
