Blog Stats

Clicking through Blogger, I noticed that there is now a stats tab. It seems to basically show the same info as Google Analytics, but the info doesn't seem entirely correct. But it was still interesting.

I have never openly shared this blog in any way, even though it is public. As far as I know, it doesn't link back to anything that would reveal my real identity. The only time I share is when people ask if I blog and I deem that person trustworthy. As far as I remember, I've really only revealed it to less than five people.

I guess there was one time that I intentionally tried to let someone know this is my blog. Originally, there was a purpose for this blog. Hence the title and description. I'm not so sure that goal has been met. But I guess it doesn't make a difference.

For the 3+ years I've had this blog, most visitors have come from the Netherlands. I do not know anyone from the Netherlands. And I don't see how anything I've written is particularly relevant to the Netherlands. Strange, but minor.

What caught my attention was the most popular pages or posts. Of the top ten with most visits, eight were recent posts. That's understandable. But interestingly, the following two posts were among the top ten:

Convocation

Uninvited Guest

Both posts I wrote on the day of my convocation, a day significant to me for all the wrong reasons.

Of the 500+ posts, why these two? Just in time to remind me of something that I 'must' do between now and next year's convocation...

Will I really be able to do it?

I wonder what sort of random people stumble onto my pointless blog...
