Erika writes about delinking and whether we blog for ourselves or others. My problem is not so much with links but with my referrals page. I am fascinated by the ways people find me. Lately my number of hits has increased steadily too. This part really blows my mind. Truly I am not fishing for compliments, but I do wonder what people like about my site. There are no bells and whistles just me. I mean I find my life pretty engrossing but I didn't expect total strangers to. But then again I read many people I have never met and really enjoy. Perhaps it is the new perspectives as well as the finding things in common. The innate longing for humans to connect and become a part of something larger then themselves.
