I may have mentioned this before, but it has now been 6 months since I left San Francisco. That means that it has now been 6 months since I started this website.
One of the coolest things (I think) about having a website is seeing how many people visit it. Luckily my host keeps track of my visitors and there have been some interesting (to me) statistics gathered, among them:
* On an average day, about 100 visits are counted.
* People have visited from a total of 47 countries all over the world
* I have posted 120 journal entries and 204 photos (with more to come soon!), and have recieved or replied to comments 247 times.
* Most posts in one month: (22 journal entries in August 2002)
* The site is searchable on Google Web, Google Images, and Yahoo.
* The most common search terms for people being directed to my site: chinese temples.
* Runner-up searches include: roadside shrine, willy mays and grass hut.
* Most popular photo album is the Pictures of Angkor Wat, Cambodia Photo Album
* My personal favorite pictures so far: two monks, phusi sunset, me on the Nam Ruak, and Beer Lao.
Awesome pictures! I've just looked at your favorite ones :) It's really hard to keep a site up to date, you're doing a great job. I'm always happy to read updates on your site.

Thanks Joel, glad you liked the pics.
Yeah, it's actually kinda hard to remember to write stuff down all the time. Now I am having trouble thinking of something "interesting" to say every day :) But I am so glad that I have kept it up. I really enjoy reading back over my stories and looking at the pictures and remembering what it was like to be there in person.
Stuart,
Very impressive statistics and awesome pics.
Are you going to post pics you took from Saigon soon?
David
Man-
I hope I didn't throw off the statistics by looking at your website from 5 different computers. Does that make me computer happy or what!
keep posting!
David,
Glad you like the pictures. And yes, I am working on the Saigon pics as we speak. Hope to have them up this weekend!
To TMW5C:
No, you don't mess up my stats. You can't mess them up... stats are stats. Thanks for stopping by (even if half my hits are yours ;)
I think the Willy Mays search is the most fascinating. How in the world are the two connected????
Love you!!
Beth, Willy Mays is connected to my website because of this picture of me and "him".
Aha!!
Love you!!
