I have several dedicated readers. People I know and others whom I’ve never met. I am beyond flattered that people actually read my stuff and still come back. I enjoy the engagement with fellow bloggers too. I think my Bucket List should include meeting each of them in person. Such great writers. All of them!
With WordPress, I am able to see many things about each post. I can check my stats and see how many views, likes, comments I’ve had on any particular day and with each post. It doesn’t show me names or anything personal about my readers. You are just a number here, so no worries. 🙂

There is a map which shows views from all countries. They will be highlighted in green. The more views/readers there are, the darker green the country becomes. Sometimes the map will highlight ten, twelve, or more, countries in a single day. It blows my mind that my blog is read around the world.

Most days lately when I check my map, the U.S. is highlighted along with the country of Turkey. There is typically one lone view/reader in Turkey with each post. I wonder if they might be someone my son met when he was there filming a biblical documentary. I look everyday now to see if my friend from Turkey has visited me. And if you are reading this post today, my friend, I appreciate you.

Blogging has been quite an amazing journey these last four years. It not only has opened my heart more, it’s opened up my whole world. I am blessed. ♥️

Andi, thank you for sharing this. The map metric is one of the best tools in WordPress, it is pretty awesome to see where all the bloggers are from.

I love it. Thank you. It certainly makes the world seem a little smaller, and your circle of friends, a little larger. 😊

Andi,
If you’ve looked for my responses to your blogs, and have been disappointed to find none, don’t despair. I read and enjoy them, as I do Facebook posting from friends and family, but haven’t been into the response thing.
Love, Uncle Tom
