A few years ago, when the page view count surpassed one million, someone suggested I should give out a prize. Well, I hadn't thought about it, but now?
Now the page view count is nearing *two* million and I've been thinking that it would be nice to have some sort of contest or something. Yes, with a prize.
But it took me a while to come up with an idea.
No I can't give out a prize to everyone who reads the blog. I could make a draw from the list of subscribers, but so many more people read my blog than just those who are subscribed. What to do? What to do?
Tonight when I saw that the number was less than 25,000 away from that magical number I thought that maybe I could do a pool, of sorts. Have people predict the day the number would roll over, and whoever came closest, I would mail them a tea towel. (Lord knows I have lots!)
The easiest way for me to deal with keeping track would be to just have people make a comment to this post. One guess/prediction per person. Include a time - that way if more than one person wants the same day, they can specify the time and I can see which one came closest?
The page view count increased this year, in part because I was posting daily (nearly) from March on. And it doesn't look like I'm going to stop any time soon,
I will add that the page per view count changes at 4 pm, so that number you can see for today? Is only from 4 pm until 10 pm or so.
Anyway, play along if you like.
