Anyways, I'm always curious as to who actually reads this stuff. I do work in web analytics, so I have a few tricks up my sleeves. For instance, I can see I've had over 2000 visitors in the last 3 months. I can even see where they are- the majority are in Utah, then Vegas (no idea why), Vancouver, Houston, Sweden (!?), and California. A good number of people come from links on my friends blogs, so thanks bloggy friends for linking to me. There are also 300 people or so trickling in from Facebook and the pg.org boards.
I can also see what keywords people come to my blog from. A lot of them are expected- people searching for "kenny and jenni" or "joo blog". Some of the funner ones from the month of October include "pictures of floppy babies", "midget halloween pictures", "poopy list", "my puppy keeps flinching!" and "what's up pussycat woo woo".
As far as which of my links people click on my blog, Lori's blog wins with 300 clicks, then Becky with54. Most people are spending between 1 and 3 minutes on my site, and most people only see the main page of the blog.
So now that you're creeped out by the inability to blurk unnoticed, please write a brief comment to let me know who you are! Comments are the lifeblood of bloggers. I'm not saying comment all the time- if you don't have anything to say or my posts are unnoteworthy, I understand. But still, if you check in regularly, let me know, then maybe I'll have more reason to update more than once every two weeks!
And since I can't blog without a picture of Daniel, here we go (see if you can spot his new teeth- though it's not likely. I promise they're there!):

I dont see any teethies but it's kind of far away for that.
Three cheers for blog comments!
haha...I like the post! Yes, I check often (which means work is slow because I'm on peoples blogs way too much). Love seeing pics of Daniel! :o)
yes, I lurk on yours and Lori's. I read it in Google Reader, so I know when it's updated.
Janel/Camelnoodle from preg.org.
I lurk, too...but I think you already knew that. :) I also read it from google reader. Oh yeah, and Lori--I lurk on yours too sometimes.
i get updates on when you update, so that's why i'm here! and sometimes i get on to show bryce photos of daniel and lucy. :)
I also lurk around your blog. I'm glad you're finally updating! :)
I wouldn't call myself a blurker because I actually do comment--maybe that makes me a clogger.
the whole vegas experience is being wasted on me (no drinking, no gambling, no escorts), but i'm probably you're fan in vegas who blog lurks. now you just need to figure out who is in sweeden...
I think you already know that I am a regular visitor to your blog...but blurker just sounds so creepy! Can I be a cublurker (cute blog lurker) instead? :)
Hi! I'm Angie...I'm not sure if I've posted or not, but I started "lurking" last February or so. We were on bedrest at the same time, and I got to your blog through a bedrest forum that you had posted on. Funny, I had my little boy, Owen 4 days after you had Daniel...and Owen was 4 weeks early. SO, you and I have a lot in common. I love to read about Daniel, and it never fails...you post about something Daniel has done and within days Owen does it:). Daniel is adorable! Owen is cutting his first 2 teeth, and is not sleeping AT ALL right now! YIKES! Anyway, there's my story. Now, post more often!!!
I read when you have an update on my reader. Love the pictures of Daniel so you can always keep them coming.
does it count me if i blurk from google reader? oh and i believe you about the teeth.
Yeah, I come all the time. I have my favorite blogs bookmarked and I open them all every morning in tabs at firefox hoping that at least one has updated. I know waste of time and causing a lot of blog visits to everyone but I love it. Even if people don't update I get to look closer at other pictures. I have commented off and on though so I'm sure you're aware of me, the random fan from Iowa.
I stop in often to see what's new...but I leave comments! If I leave more, will you blog more often? I love to see what's going on with your cute family!
You're stalking me!
hahahah thats fabulous! I check your blog pretty frequently. So if you have any brazil peeps coming in, its ME! :)
Daniel looks absoltely adorable!!!
thats pretty creepy what you can see!! I don't think I would want to know all the blurkers out there! By the way Daniel is looking adorable lately!
I check in on your blog all the time Jenni! lol. You knew that though right? I will try and comment more I promise! :)
K, I know this is really late, but I do read your blog often and am just a horrible commenter. I have remembered this post and keep thinking, I need to go and make a comment.
Other things I have thought of and should comment on:
You have an adorable family!
Thanks for your prop. 8 post, it helps to have someone with a little different perspective.
And how does reading in google reader affect your stats?
