For the past few
weeks I have been sending the full text of each of my blog postings because
there seemed to be a problem with my just sending the link to the blog. I had
been sending the link in an e-mail but I was frequently receiving messages
saying that the e-mails either had not been delivered or could not be
delivered. So, I just started forwarding each of you the e-mail I receive from Blogger
each time I post, which appears to include pretty much everything that can be
seen on the blog except for videos (such as movie trailers).
Here’s the downside. Every
time someone clicks on the link and looks at the blog, it adds to the tally of “pageviews.”
I’ve talked about these pageviews periodically as they have reached various
milestones. But now, presumably because most of you are just reading the full
text that I am sending, my pageview numbers have plummeted. Short of asking you
to go through the additional step of clicking on the link that you now see at
the bottom of the e-mail I send you, the one that looks like this:
I have no good way of
knowing how many people are looking at the blog.
It is not that my ego
is wrapped up in the number of pageviews. Rather it is that, without knowing if
any or many people are reading, I wonder if I should keep writing and posting.
But, for now, I suppose I will continue doing both.
I had a Sunday full of
sports, pretty unusual for me. In the morning we took Maya to her ice skating
class.
Then we picked up
Joshua from basketball practice to take him to the Celtics game with the
tickets we had given him as a Chanukah present. After the game we headed back
to our apartment where we had some dinner and watched the two play-off games
leading up to the Super Bowl. Needless to say, Joshua was thrilled to see the
Patriots pull off that win! We are already making plans for Super Bowl Sunday with
the whole family. That last one is a sentence I never expected to write! I
still do not really understand football, neither the game itself nor why people
enjoy it so much. But like so many things, experiencing them with the children
is a special joy.
Have a great week.
Love,
Rebecca
