I was really, really, really excited the other day. I clicked on the dashboard for Blogger which allows me to edit posts, layout, etc. It also allows me to see how many people read my blog that day and if anyone left a comment. I've only had a handful of comments and every single one was left by a family member or a friend. Yesterday, however, there was a comment from a stranger. Huzzah! Who was this mysterious person who told me they found my blog on Alex's 7.5 month milestones to be full of "informative information," a rather redundant statement but I'll take it. Whoever they were clearly had great taste in reading.
About 24 hours later it hit me. My first, non-solicited-from-a-friend-or-family-member comment was Spam. It had occurred to me at the time I was reading it that the sentence seemed to have been written by a Nigerian prince but I was too excited and dismissed the choppy English as an International reader (which I do get from time to time and to which I would like to say: Hello! Guten tag! Здравствуйте! Hola! Sveiki! G’day! Namaste. привет! merhaba!).
So, to make a long story short, my dreams of becoming an International, best-selling blogger were dashed. I guess I'll get back to my regularly scheduled program of sitting here, staring at the computer screen.
