As I try and figure out
how I should do a website that people will like and keep checking back to, I'm
amazed at some things I see on my
KisforKat Stats page.The Stats page is something that I can check that will tell me
what computers are checking my site, How many people check my site, and how often they check it. I look every once in a while and
I'm always pleased when more people look at KisforKat.com on one day than did the day before.But it
blew me away to see how many people looked here yesterday. This is a graph of the days of this month, and how many hits I got on each day.

On weekdays I have
a pretty good average of people that check, and then
yesterday (the 22nd on the graph)
I had a huge jump. It only took me
a second to figure out what that was.
Terri Schiavo. It was
the first time I talked about something in the news and it got me
3,981 hits. Now,
if KisforKat.com was for profit that would mean more
money in my pocket...But it's not. So that just leaves me to think about
how topical this issue is, and how many people are interested. KisforKat.com is a
small website that has built a
small following in the past few months and it's amazing, for me, to see what a search engine can send people to.
