I took the rather silly step of adding a fancy traffic analysis widget to my blog. For this site? It's like putting steel girders under a wooden footbridge.
I am not at all savvy in these matters, and there's way more information available to me now than I can possibly use (bounce rates, anyone?), but it's kind of fun to see where my traffic is coming from. It's fun that I have traffic at all!
There's even a map overlay that shows me where my visitors are coming from. I have Japan and Colombia, even. In the US, the map shows me how many people from each state have stopped by. I realize that it's not a campaign to get all 50 states, since it'll be a looong time before Fingerfold becomes president. But I still get a little giddy when a new State shows up, nevermind that some of those visits are just an "oops" click from a wacky google search. Yes, the prying eye can even see what you googled in order to get to my site.
For example:
"thickening middle finger"
Some poor Joe went searching for advice for a serious medical condition and the first link he got was about me burning my middle finger and finally putting on some pregnancy weight!
Whew, the interweb casts a wide net.
Because, really, if you're going to look up middle fingers, you should go directly to this. Go.
Okay, but really. I'm only going to use google analytics for the power of good.

you and your lanky, long hand collages. Middle fingers. Finger folds. Whats with all the hand stuff? you should include some still pictures ( photos) of stuff in your collages, like, um, your own hands. What about little hands? haven't seen any of those yet, just the lanky ones. Auden told me he wants representation, it's all over his facebook page. miss you guys. you'll be home soon, back in fly-over country. can't wait.
