I guess the truth will out once the next credit card bill appears...

It HAS to have been easy if I could do it! That was when I started blogging, then I kind of gave up. May or may not resume. Nothing to do with AS there, I'm not ready to go public with that. There were other blogs I was interested in, but when I decided to join the fray, my favourite bloggers all disappeared. Musta been some kind of unseen aspie anti-midas touch or something! :-( But may I say once again THANK YOU to you, Rachel, and everyone else who is sharing their stories. It is very, very helpful to me here under my rock! I know that on WordPress it was quite easy to access blog stats. It HAS to have been easy if I could do it!

I don't watch mine anymore since I no longer have any worries about whether or not I'm reaching people. You'll be the same. You might want to submit your blog to a few other places too, like DIGG. I usually categorise under Health. If you put links under your posts (a small template change), people will be able to easily submit the links. My instructions for this are probably a little old now but they still work and will contain a lot more functionality now.

I was listening to Julie and Julia today on the way to work and Julie had just started her blog and was talking about checking her hits ....and I was wondering if you had this ability to see how many are reading. Huh some kind of hundreth monkey thing going on. I never feel obligated to write usually it's the opposite really want to but can't slow down enough to make it happen. I do visit here pretty consistently though. Your insights hit home often for other reasons for me and because I work with some very young children that seem to be on the spectrum. It helps me to be reminded of what they are dealing with in their very young world. This is just to wild.
