Tam inspired me to begin, and yours was one of the first comments on my first food porn post. "You had me at mushrooms"<br /><br />I began blogging with the arrogance to think people would care what I say, and more than a little angst to release. Over the years and changes since then, I've let go a lot of notions that were unsupportable. Including, thankfully, the one about people.<br /><br />Stats... I clearly remember using the stat counters and sitemeters and wizzywozzies, and hanging on their reports several times a day. Somehow I lost that desire a few years ago, and can't recall why they were important to me.<br /><br />After a hiatus of years, I'm finding myself drawn to blogging again. At least, a little. Not to speak out so much, this time, but to 'speak in' if you will.

(It does count mobile visitors, which represent about a quarter of my traffic.)<br /><br />But I have not given up hope. Admittedly, I have about 300 visitors a day, down from more than twice as many a decade ago -- but I have over a thousand taking the feed. And if I get a comment on Twitter, as I do rather frequently, it doesn't figure into the system stats, but it feels just as good. <br /><br />(The previous item was mine; it was removed due to my inability to spot a typo until after the item is saved.)CGHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789097361138861462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-55798204696062240242016-04-16T23:29:57.514-04:002016-04-16T23:29:57.514-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.CGHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789097361138861462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-37192796434701123432016-04-16T19:23:42.567-04:002016-04-16T19:23:42.567-04:00I come here simply because I learn from you.

On a positive note, perhaps those of us that still do come here are more loyal and better informed than the unwashed masses that have dropped from the blog, and can truly appreciate what you have to say. Or maybe we just like to cause trouble, like the rest of the idiots. I can be both, depending on the day. Just don't give up, based on numbers. pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-52068870584469810312016-04-16T17:02:55.579-04:002016-04-16T17:02:55.579-04:00I read your blog every week just to keep up with t...I read your blog every week just to keep up with things in Broad Ripple, where I used to live in my younger days.
