I hate statistics

But here they are, anyway. I removed the Google Analytics tool from the site, a while ago, but I thought it might be interesting (possibly only for me) to track the number of visits to this site and how they correspond to certain events. Each blue dot represents a week's traffic.



See the spike early on? That was after I posted about the Mother 3 Handbook. See the first boom in visits? That corresponds to an increase in artwork-related posts. Then the lull. That's when I "shut down" the blog, only to reinvent it for the second boom.

What I want to say is this: The statistics don't mean anything to me other than an interesting correlation between content and readership. The real joy of having actual readers has been the new friends I've made, the new sources of fun I've found in other people's cyber-homes and the (rather strange, but still lovely) way in which people have offered support and reached out to prove that the world ain't so big.

Unless of course, one is saving money to travel to meet one's bride-to-be. Then the world seems a little too big.

But that would be silly, right?
