Stats: Not just for terrorizing students anymore

Did you know that all blogs have statistical analysis built into them?  I have never bothered to look before- stats are reserved for a traumatized part of my memory dating back to university.  The only redeemable part of which is that I got a better grade than my brother.  Mainly because he never came.


Anyways, this is what some of it looks like:
Fig.1.  Who even OWNS a blackberry anymore?

There are also stats on where the pageviews are coming from.  Not surprisingly- Canada.  I nearly peed my pants however, when I saw that there were 4 pageviews from GERMANY.  Then I remembered that Adrian was there this week.  I can already tell what you're thinking; "wasn't he there 10 days?  And he only checked into your blog 4 times?"  I know.  RUDE.  I did recheck this morning to take a screen shot  (fig.2) and again nearly peed when I saw 2 NETHERLANDS pageviews.  After I processed that Adrian was in Amsterdam, and Amsterdam was in the Netherlands (or so I'm assuming.  I'm not a socials teacher) I felt very appreciative that Adrian is making my blog so international.  It will look good when I start getting shopped by lucrative sponsors.

Fig.2.  The Europeans love me.


I will be even more appreciative when I see what gifts he brings home (hotel soap is not a gift Adrian).

Not surprisingly, I don't understand a lot of it.  There have been more than 91 pageviews, so I don't know what the 85 represents.  Perhaps if I had attended stats more often, instead of sleeping in.  I'll know for the next stats class I take.
