When I set up my first website www.snowbizz.com I was immediately interested in &#8220;hits&#8221; as a sign of how many people were looking at my brilliant contributions to the Internet. It was a fraction of today&#8217;s fractional viewership. Since then I&#8217;ve learned that viewers can mean robots scoping out websites for a lot of unknown actors who survey the Internet like a gunslinger walking into a saloon. <\/p>\n<p>Until the last few weeks I&#8217;ve only rarely looked at my stats through the covid years because I&#8217;ve had other things on my plate than winning over eyes. But I&#8217;m preparing to contribute more on lincolndemocrat in the coming election year. To that end I&#8217;ve been heartened to see some nice bumps when I add blog posts that somebody other than a Robot gunslinger wants to check out. Look at my stats for December 4th. Four posts generated 21,000 pages. I&#8217;ll admit I don&#8217;t really know what that means. The number of &#8220;visits&#8221; hasn&#8217;t increased that much&#8230;&#8230;but then again I&#8217;m not really sure after 14 years of managing this blog what a &#8220;visit&#8221; constitutes. And both of them are different than the &#8220;hits&#8221; I used to obsess about. I simply like the idea that posting four posts generated more views.<\/p>\n<p>I will break my morning posts down into separate fairly short categories and then go on to what I&#8217;m really trying to do today&#8230;..write a book or books for next year. I spent a lot of time this spring doing that but eased off as I prepared to travel to France and picked up my french language and turned to organizing the papers I need to find quickly and efficiently for the contents of said unwritten books. <\/p>\n<p>So, the next couple posts will go on to talk about the things I&#8217;ve been doing and why. Its my birthday today and I&#8217;ve started my eight decade on Earth. I hope to add at least two more beside the Eighth to my life before my mind shuts down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day&#8230;..Number of visits&#8230;..
