It’s called StatCounter, and here’s the link: <br />http://statcounter.com/ Just go there and<br />follow the directions to add a counter to your blog. Like Blogger, it breaks down your visitors by country, gives you referring links, tells you what search engines and search words brought them to you, etc. It actually has much more detailed information than Blogger, but now that Blogger has stats (or now that I discovered how to find them!) I haven’t been logging into StatCounter very often. Anyway, take a look and see what you think. It’s free.P. J.

Countries in descending order after France are United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Slovenia, Iran, Australia, Germany, Russia and Romania. See what a mean about how mysterious and bewildering it is? If I look at stats only for today, the United States has edged ahead of France, with Australia in third place, followed by (in order) Germany, Romania, Denmark, India, Brazil, Colombia and South Korea. I should add that the last two countries accounted for only one visit apiece. Also, I have a good friend married to a Brazilian, and they may be there now visiting his family!P. J.

Under the "Stats" tab, I can see how many visits my blog has had, either by day, week, month or "all time" (though I don't think "all time" goes back to 2007 when I first started). I can also see referring links, e.g., how many came from Lake Superior Spirit! And there is a breakdown by country, with a map that shades countries with high visit numbers. I always wish (plaintively) that more Canadians would visit my blog and am bewildered by some of the visitor sources that show much higher numbers than Canada. It's a mystery!P. J.

I have another correspondent in New South Wales and hear from her just about every other day, so I’m learning a lot about life in Australia, starting with Australian geography. Where blog readers come from can be very mysterious. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve started getting more visitors from France than from the U.S. Wish they would leave comments once in a while!P.

It is interesting learning what life is like in other parts of this world. Last year I had a reader from Dubai.

Quebec can be a very mysterious place. <br /><br />It would be good, too, if a lot more of us had a good look around at the world and faced the fact that the rest of it is moving along at quite a clip without regard to whatever is going on here.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-3703486915698386432011-04-02T06:03:16.642-07:002011-04-02T06:03:16.642-07:00Rule #1 in foreign cities: Be careful crossing str...Rule #1 in foreign cities: Be careful crossing streets.P.
