how to waste a couple of hours…

perusing through totally useless information.

Unless you’re getting paid to blog.

Which I most definitely am not.

So I’ve warned you, right? This is pretty much a complete waste of time.

But it is ridiculously entertaining, if you’re a curious sort like me.

First go here.

Then choose to “make blogger in draft my default dashboard”, if you ever want to find your way back back to this vortex of lost time.

Notice the new ‘stats’ option on the far right of your dashboard.

Then, grab a diet coke and a bowl of popcorn and check out your stats.

What time of day do people like to visit?

What posts do people read the most?

You can even check out from what sites people are coming over to visit.

And then you can go visit their blogs.

So, I really should correct myself. It’s not a complete waste of time.

If you’re like me, you’ll probably end up with several new blogs to follow.

Have fun!

    Cool! Now I have a question, but not about this, I pledged to donate to AOW. Am I supposed to donate it directly to the website or through you? I was just waiting for instructions.

    Hey Julie!
    I JUST heard back from the Trowers as to what they would like in terms of a donations… they are trying to determine the very best use of the $ raised, and they are leaning towards one very heavy duty industrial sized dryer!! But they need to get the electricity reworked in order for it to work properly… so we're just waiting to hear if this is a possibility ๐Ÿ™‚
    If you'd like to donate through the website, you certainly may, or you can send a check to the address on the AOW website. Thank you so much for joining in the effort to help raise $ for these kiddos!! Do stop back by and let me know what you decide to do! I'd love to hear ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am going to pretend I didn't read this…might be fun but MUST RESIST the urge ๐Ÿ™‚
    Just started phase 2 of fundraising for Elaina…and my WONDERFUL hubby who has only been home for 6 DAYS has spent his ENTIRE afternoon with the big kids coming and going on a 1000 piece puzzle…Chinese New Year Celebration…for another fundraiser. Fundraising is HARD WORK but blessed work ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh, my. That could be dangerous. And now I'm so curious – I have readers from Latvia. And Tunisia. What on earth are they thinking?! I'm sure there are way more interesting things to do and see in Latvia and Tunisia than to read my daily drivel!!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Very interesting. I have my daughter's blog private but I still have given many people access if we know them or know they adopted too. Unless I am looking at it wrong, I don't really have any followers. ??? Oh, well. I just won't show LiLi. ;0)
