I normally don't care about my blog numbers, although I do check them regularly to know what kind of influence I am having.

I haven't really been paying much attention recently because I have been busy with life and all. I normally average about 5000 views a month...but I just counted November and December and I got over 10,000 each month (and January's heading towards that point, too)...whoa. Where did that jump come from? That was a little unexpected. I averaged over 1000 views a post, and I normally average about 300. My numbers have nearly tripled in 2 months, almost overnight. If I go back to the middle of October, I was still averaging 300 a post, then about mid-October, it jumps to over 1000 for almost every single post over the course of a week.

I'm kind of scratching my head since I didn't do anything to cause the rapid increase, and it's kind of intimidating in a lot of ways, but I got over bring intimidated when I hit 5000 views a month and decided to continue blogging regardless.

If you care to share (I'm curious to find out more about you!):
1) How did you find this blog?
2) Why do you read?

Thanks!
