Important Notice to Readers...

Options: Vanilla or...?

Those of you who know me well know why a lot of changes have occurred on this site recently. Those of you who visit often (hi!) know what is missing and can probably surmise the basics.

I can tell you that I don't like my site this way.

I feel as if I am being held hostage.

I can't write what I like, how I like, where I like.

I can't put up the links or pictures I want to share.

I hate it, hate it, hate it.

But sometimes vanilla has to trump any other flavour...sigh....for reasons greater than one person's personal favourite.

A friend has suggested I post elsewhere. And I have in one spot or another - but mostly these are protected sites, not open to the public.

Any ideas?

The Readers

I have a simple tracker on this site. It tells me how many people visit, on what day and what time. It shows if the reader came directly to my site, linked to me from someone else's blog, or googled something that lead them to my site.

The neat thing, too, is that it gives me a vague idea of where a reader is from as it indicates where the internet provider is. With all this, I have been able to determine that there are a few regular or semi-regular readers. I know who some of the readers are because we are friends or we have e-mailed each other. But this post is for the unknown readers...

I just wanted to tell you that I get a kick out of seeing your unique "tracker" info. I don't know your name or anything about you, but I feel like you are a friend just because you continue to visit. Here are some internert locations of unidentified readers...

• Punta Gorda
• Manchester UK
• Scituate
• Melbourne, Australia
• London, UK
• Dublin, Ireland
• Montgomery
• San Clemente
• Santa Cruz
• Lawton
• Laurel
• H*rl*nT*lb*t

I smile when I see you, Unknown Friends. Thank you for stopping by!

Love,
~January~
