July was a very busy month for my blog. I had the highest amount of hits since I started my blog in November 2003. I've only had this web hosting service since February so I don't have stats before that. I'm not sure why July was so busy. It might have to do with joining the Gay Bloggers tribe. If they are anything like me, they check out all the blogs that have been listed to see if it's an interesting blog to continue to read. I did that a lot myself. My blog list is up to 78. I've got to stop adding them to my book mark list. Or it could have to do with the fact that I was constantly checking my blog to see if any comments had been left and how many hits I was getting. Last week I decided to turn on the e-mail notification on Haloscan to send me an e-mail when I comment was left. Now I don't check my own blog as much. I leave it up to Haloscan to inform me when I have a comment. I think I've had more comments this month too. I think most bloggers like getting comments and increasing the number of hits to their sites. As far as the comments are concerned they have been very positive. Sorry if I don't always e-mail you back when you leave a comment. I can't decide which comments to respond to and which to just leave as they are. In any case, I appreciate all the comments.

One interesting feature of my stats program from my server is they list all the search strings that were used to find my site. Or better yet, they list the search strings that are associated with my site. I'm sure the people who typed in the search strings weren't looking for my site exactly, but my site came up on their list when they typed in their search. Here are some of the more interesting search strings associated with my site (in no particular order). I have no idea how some of them got included.

1. 40th birthday invites
2. my imovies
3. rav4 behind the car remote doesn't work
4. chilly billy lives in the fridge
5. dentist asleep gas
6. ekg gay doctor underwear gas
7. friends with ex-boyfriends
8. grenoble ~sex blog
9. i like white or i love white white guys or white men

I was also a little surprised when I saw some specific blog names showing up on the search strings. I know I check out these sites everyday but I'm not sure that I write about them specifically enough for them to show up in a search string. The blogs that showed up were:

1. archerr blog (of course)
2. bjland
3. harikuyo
4. jessemcpherson

It's all very intesting. Dorky probably but interesting.
