You can come in and stay all day and it only counts you once, but if you check my blog thirty times a day it will add thirty "hits".<BR/><BR/>I first added the counter because people were coming to my blog and reading without making a comment, so I didn't know if people were reading the blog or not. Some of my favorite blogs to read are some that I seldom comment on, so I put it on to see if maybe the same thing was happening to me. I’m not sure what it tells me, but it’s fun to watch it move. Some of us bloggers are easily entertained!Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-35194466074036654232008-07-27T09:56:00.000-07:002008-07-27T09:56:00.000-07:00My daughter and I love the pictures!
