50,000 Views..... Watch out PSY!

Today the 1st of Feb 2013 my little old, down under blog will have past 50,000 views on the web. It's not quite Gangnam Style but certainly a lot more hits than I envisaged when I first started out. NZ makes up 40% of total viewers, USA & Canada 30% followed by UK, Europe and Australia 7%.
Also there is some supporter in Latvia who's hit my site a few site; Bija patikami tikties :-) Do you have Synovial Sarcoma? :-)

My favorite group of viewers and supporters are others who have Synovial Sarcoma and many have contacted via my blog by comments and emails and with some online friendships established. It's satisfying to think my experiences shared may have helped them.
Also within there was been a subgroup, people who may have just gone though one of my activities e.g spinal surgery, chemo, terminal illness, driving cool dodges. Etc.
My many local Whanau, friends makes up the largest support and user base probably about 50% and the blog has achieved its objective of disseminating of information and 2-way interaction. We had 471 comments responded back, and just 6 spams that needed deleted.

It's not for everyone this degree of disclosure, but for me it's achieved it's objective, and I think the world is a better place by the knowledge and thinking and support provided to others. I believe the site has been far more about living than dying and overcoming adversity rather than wallowing in it.

There is certainly a trend and a greater number of sites like this becoming more common than when I started, why don't you choose your topic and go to blogger.com and start your own.

Ive still plenty of life but slowing down and blogging is not a priority. Going forward check out Kats blog for updates katandadls.blogspot.co.nz.

Bye for now Gary
