Moving forward, I will be including a monthly “Blog Stats” report.  While I enjoy joking around with new readers (”Great!  Now I have five people reading this blog!”), you might enjoy learning about how many and from where in world people are reading.  Plus, it kind of indulges my odd fascination with statistics.

At any rate, here is the February 2009 statistics summary for www.thestarbuckreport.com:

Reported period: Month Feb 2009
First visit: 01 Feb 2009 - 00:01
Last visit: 28 Feb 2009 - 23:52

Unique visitors: 260

Number of visits: 966(3.71 visits/visitor)

Pages: 4163 (4.3 pages/visit)

The unique visitors came from 27 different countries!

So, first of all, I would like to thank everyone for your readership.  My time and effort is worth little if I have no audience, right?  That being said, there are a few things you can do to help me do my job better:

1. Keep reading! If you have not done so already, I encourage you add my feed to your reader so you know exactly when I’ve posted a new article

2. Tell a friend and/or add www.thestarbuckreport.com to your Blogroll

3. Comment!  You can agree or disagree or tell me you would like more (or less) in a certain category - your feedback helps me decide the direction of the articles, especially the ones in between our travels.  You do need to register (it’s free) in order to comment, but only once

4. Check out some of the links on my Blogroll - under “Friend and Links” on the lower right hand side.  If I have not yet posted a new article, this can be a great way to catch up on current events (Reddit, Of Two Minds, LATOC) or just get some good laughs (Cake Wrecks and “Unnecessary” Quotes).  It also might help put some of the information I post into context.

Overall, I think it has been a productive February.  Let’s see if we can March even better!

Cheers,

Courtney
