Ok, here is your assignment.
This is just me being a little selfish, but humor me. I no longer pay for my hit counter, so I don't get details regarding how people find my site. What I do know is that on average I get around 130 hits per day on my site. I don't know how many are repeats from the same person or different people. I don't know how many people check in daily versus weekly, etc. And mostly, I don't know who you are.
So, I'd like to know more about you. My request is that if you read this post leave a comment. I don't care if you read every day or if this is your first visit. I would love for every person who reads this to leave a comment. I know that there are sites that I read that I never comment on, but don't be like me. Just this one time, please humor me and leave a comment.
I know there are several people that I know in real life (Grandma, Mom, Uncle Bill) that read regularly, but don't comment (they just send me e-mails). If you don't know how to leave a comment, here are instructions. At the bottom of the post, click on the link that says "0 comments" (or whatever the number is at the time). Once the page reloads, click on "Post a Comment." A new window will open that gives a box to type your comment in. Then if you don't have a blogger account, click the circle next to "Other." Then type your first name. At the bottom you must type the word that appears in the box titled "Word Verification." This protects my site from comment spam. After you type your comment, name, and word then click the button "Publish Your Comment."
Feel free to answer as many of the below questions that you are comfortable with. If you are in a hurry, just leave me your first name, so I know you stopped by. Monday, I'll put together a summary of what I've learned from you and maybe I'll have some more sites to add to my list to read while I'm home.
Please Answer:
1. Name (first only) or Blog Name
2. Your website (if applicable)
3. Where do you live (state or country if international)?
3. How long have you been reading my blog?
4. How often to you check in?
5. Do you know me in real life? If yes, how? (Friend, family, coworker, etc.)
6. How did you find my site? (Someone's else's blog? Searching online (what were you looking for?), I gave you the address, etc.)
7. What is one thing we have in common?
8. If you could ask me one question or one thing you want to know about me, what would it be?
Ok, make my day. I'd love to come back from my retreat with lots of fun comments to read.
