Roll Call!!

My "hit" counter is very misleading, and I have determined that very few people are actually reading this blog. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop using it as a healthy release for my mania, but it does make me think a bit.

These are the people I assume might be reading this blog on a fairly regular basis (in no particular order):

Boy In the Bands - Philocrites - Peregrinato - Chalice Chick - Fausto - H. Sofia (And Her Traveling Self) - Adam (Unity) - the UU Enforcer - Greenseagirl - Jaume - This Girl Remembers - Chutney - Kim - Jason - Jess - Paul W. - Steve Caldwell - Parisa - Sister of PeaceBang - Bex - Mel - David - Mikey H. - Dooner - Jess - Clyde - Roger (Cheerfully) O. Kuhrt - Slyypper -- Dame Olympia

That's 29 people. Let me know if you're #30. Who's out there? How many PeaceBang buttons should I order for GA? Who wants to design the logo?

Hello PeaceBang. I read your blog. Usually via Bloglines, but occasionally I actually click over to your actual site.

You should realize that some people get this through the RSS feed. I'm not sure if your counter counts those reading from the .xml. What some people will do is put in an image in each entry as an "adbug."

So yeah, one more person reading. I have dozens upon dozens of UU blogs aggregated and it would be a shame to lose you.

Hola. Love to read your blog and would love to go on a shopping spree at Sephora with you. With our winnings from the lottery, natch.

This is truly fascinating! Thanks all for popping in! (Sorry for leaving you out, Obijuan! I knew you was reading!). I'm too devoted to PB to ever stop, don't worry, Beth. I still don't understand what an RSS feed is.

I get to read you twice, cool!

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndications," and is a notifier that there's a new post on a blog - you can use all kinds of different software to then read that post, or you can just click over to the site. I use Bloglines, where I put in the addresses of all the blogs that I read, and then when I go to my account I have a list of all the new posts. I can choose to read the post on Bloglines, where the formatting may or may not show up, or I can click on the name of the site and go directly to it. Others have RSS support in their web browsers - it's built in to Safari, and you can get extensions for FireFox (like Sage, which SC Universalist mentioned).

It's what UUpdater uses to generate his site of all the UU blog posts, too - his software checks your feed to find out if your blog has a new post, and an excerpt and link are published on UUpdates.

If you want more specifics on RSS, the Wikipedia article is quite good at explaining.

Or just be satisfied that your blog has it, so people who use it are happy. ;-)

I've given thought to Chaliceblog shirts at GA, not to sell, but to put on attractive women as a means of advertising.

"Births, deaths and marriages:It's just that simple.

Chalicechick.blogspot.com"

or some such.

Anywhoo, I know LinguistFriend and theCSO lurk your blog and a couple of my other pals do, too.

I'm here regularly too, but don't make me a button, I've never it made it to GA yet.

I'm a regular too.. How could a self respecting gay UU not dig a minister that gives out make-up advice!?

Seriously.. I love what you have to say, your perspective in loving and caring for your congregation.. but challenging them too.

I won't make it to GA, but I'll take a button all the same if you have some left.

Was out of town for five days, but I'm back and want to say that YES, I read your blog regularly (pretty daily), as you already surmised.

See you at General Assembly!

I'm reading, but usually a month or so behind. I use kinja, and click through there to your posts, and I am usually just one step ahead of all posts I want to read vanishing because kinja only keeps them a month. I rarely post comments because the convo has moved on by the time I get there. I'll be better this summer when I'm out of school, I promise.
