Thanks For Dropping In
Apr 2nd, 2007 by Don Ray
March hit a new high. Chiriquí Chatter had 7333 unique visitors. That was a 36% increase over February, which, even though it was a short month, was larger than January. This is also a 199% increase over March of 2006. The number of visits per visitor is averaging 3.00 per month.
Actually, while I do enjoy seeing the numbers go up, I am more pleased that this readership is pretty active in providing comments. Through this blog, I feel that I have gained many friends all around the world. I truly appreciate your dropping in.

Hey, lets take a quick fun survey……

Hi Reed. Good to hear from you. Thanks for taking the time to visit and leave a comment. I enjoy writing what I write and am pleased when others find something of interest.
Congrats, Don. You are truly getting world famous.
Reed, I visit Don’s site to see what ideas I can steal for my own blog….
Well, I also visit because Don is just such a darn nice guy that I consider myself one of his 7,333 friends, one from Honduras.
Oh, darn. I forgot to mention that I agree about the comments. It always helps to keep me going when I have tangible proof that people are actually reading and maybe even enjoying.
La Gringa - Thanks for leaving a comment (oops - comments). I think we just share ideas. No theft going on.

Omar and Pearl - thanks for taking the time to comment. Comments are the most important part of a blog. It tells me that it what was written was actually read. They give me energy to continue with this project.
I also feel that many comments add more information that the originating post. I like to sometimes throw out some thoughts and see what comments comes forth. Kind of like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates - I never know what I am going to get.
