Break It Down

Sitting here looking at my pages stats and here's how it breaks down:

My number one visited post is the Wednesday Hero Blogroll post with an average of 56 views a day and a total of 16,290 since I posted it in 2006.

I get an average of around 100 views of my blog every day with a total of 34,471 since Blogger started keeping track. Not sure when that was.

My number one traffic source is The Pink Flamingo. Thanks, Cindy.

The number one search term that leads people to my page is "barbara boxer". Why? Because of this post I did back in 2005.

Only 38 people have read Blood Plague and 17 for Tony The Gerbil.

Surprisingly, IE is still the number one browser used at 61% while Firefox is second with only 23%. Huh.

Windows is by far the number one OS with 88%.

And, the US is the number one country for pageviews with, awesomely, South Korea in second.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

A song you probably have never heard. Which is a shame. Heavy and loud. In other words, Uncle Ted.


Crave by Ted Nugent

Bleed (Red, White & Blue)

I was forwarded this song. I couldn't do it as part of MCM because the only way you can listen to it is to download a copy for $1.25. But it is for a good cause, the Challenged Athletes Foundations & Operation Rebound. So head over and check it out.
