The blog has eyes ...

... and I LOVE it!

After MONTHS of tinkering around (ok, so I tinkered once or twice, then gave up for months before figuring it out), I added blog counters to our blog and to the Heartland blog. For those of you bloggers out there, they're powered by Sitemeter. Mike kept telling me how much he'd prefer that to the one he has because you can see who is looking at your site when. Ok, yeah ...

BUT IT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are some regulars of our blog who I want to give a shout to: Hi Terry & Carol, Robin & Chris, Joe & Erin, someone in Manhattan (Nicole?), and Bobby Ann!!!!!!!!!

There appear to be some regular Heartland readers, too! Since we returned from our trip to LA for Jessica & Chris' wedding, we've been getting a lot of California hits. :-)

SO, why the heck am I rambling on about this?

Today, the Heartland blog had a visitor from Kuwait! I could barely believe my eyes when I saw it! How awesome is that?!?!?!??!? (yes I'm a total dork for being excited about this).

Photobucket

I was able to click through and see where this visitor came from .... and it appears to be a friend of a friend from our LA wedding. Rockin!

Speaking of ... anyone know where Rock, Kansas is? I've totally never heard of it in my life!

Ok, after consulting Google Maps, it appears to be just west of Atlanta, Kansas. Make sense? ;-)~ OR just southeast of Wichita.

ps-And DOUGGIE....are you spending vacation time reading our blog? ;-)~ Ok, I won't call you "douggie" anymore. Promise.

hey, I'm an even bigger nerd for figuring out a friend is on vacation by looking at sitemeter...

So? Since I added sitemeter to our blog, I've gotten two hits from Canada, one from England and one from Lithuania. :)~

(All errant Google searches, but still.)
