Turns out that on some days I am my own most frequent blog reader. By accident, of course.

That’s because when I exit my blog, WordPress loads my home page with my current post and somehow that counts as a visit. Considering that when I’m in my writing and editing modes, I frequently remember ‘just one more thing’ a few minutes after I have logged off. I come back in, sit down at the computer, log back in, tinker with a few words and log back out.

The first time I suspected that it was me that was increasing my visit count was when I logged out and logged right back in within a few seconds. (Sometimes I think of that ‘one more thing’ immediately.) Hmmm, I thought, when I saw that my visit count had gone up by one in the few seconds I was logged off. Someone was reading my blog exactly at the time I was exiting or … maybe that was me? I tested it a few more times. Yes, indeed, that was me increasing my visit count. My home page doesn’t load each time I exit my blog and I can’t figure out the whys and the wherefores.

Just so you know, by the time I schedule this blog and exit, I will be up to 13 visits for the day. Lucky me!
