Encouragement to Write ~..~

[ the 3rd PARTY ] blog reached a new milestone yesterday (Sept 02, 2008).
The number of readers to this blog recorded by 2 major trustee counter providers as following:

Visitor Counter Provider (1): [ ClustrMaps ]

The above map depicts: 1,540 visits from 27 Jul 2008 to 3 Sep 2008This map is normally updated daily (latest: 2008-09-03 07:52:15 GMT) Running total of visits to the above URL since 27 Jul 2008: 1,542Total since archive, i.e. 27 Jul 2008 - present: 1,542 (not necessarily all displayed - see below).
Visits on previous 'day': 502.
The location of each visit is based on the IP address of the computer used.(and NOT by manipulating where refreshing-and-get-counted; it's generated by counting the actual number of different IP address hit into my blog, which means the different location of the computer used to login here, eventually the percentages of one person to use different computer from different location should be very low. So, it's most genuine)

Visitor Counter Provider (2) : [ StatCounter ]

recorded : Tuesday September 2nd 2008 :

698Page Loads II 517Unique Visitors II 478First Time Visitors II 39Returning Visitors

LEGENDS:

Page Load - The number of times your page has been visited;

Unique Visitor - Based purely on a cookie, this is the total of the returning visitors and first time visitors - all your visitors;

First Time Visitors - Based purely on a cookie, if this person has no cookie then this is considered their first time at your website;

Returning Visitors - Based purely on a cookie, if this person is returning to your website for another visit an hour or more later.

Averaging from both of these two counters, the actual quantity of readers to my blog yesterday would be 500 visits !~

Well, it's a tiny encouragement for my-poor-english dare-to-write aspiration!
