If BTW, there is anything you want to see on my blog, then let me know. I cannot promise anything, but will consider your suggestions.
*Incidentally, for some reason blogspot messed up all my links and I had to painstakingly alter them. I noticed something similar happen to Iain Dale, causing just one or two Labour bloggers to get all jumpy about "Tory plots!"
Aside from the fact that that is basic paranoia, I can now see exactly what Iain's problem was and it should be the sort of thing blogspot users should be aware of.

One thing I have found from Tracksy, since Tim recommended I use it, was that I didn't realise just how many hits my blog has! Obviously some of you like it, otherwise you wouldn't keep returning, but am glad nonetheless that you pop by.If BTW, there is anything you want to see on my blog, then let me know. I cannot promise anything, but will consider your suggestions.

I think we all know which of those attracted people to your blog on that day. ;-)
BTW, Blogspot's reliability (especially on posting photos) is terrible. I still have posts where it won't let me put photos on!
I don't use a tracker - should I, and how do I?
What I do sometimes Kerron, is to post photo on another entry, use edit html, and paste photo on desired page whilst deleting original.
As for trackers. Go to Tracksy.com and it should give you all the relevant info. Just paste the tracker on your templates page, as instructed, and it will do all of it for you.
Kerron; watching numbers is a good plan, and I find it simply interesting. Amongst other things, finding out what search terms people get to you that are relevent can help improve the readership. You can tell on my site when I'm writing a post I want noticed, it's laid out properly with a title I put effort in. Those are rare at the moment but still.
Also, knowing what posts are popular, and where people are coming from is useful as well. I've been using Statcounter.com but I'm not as impressed as I was, so will try Tracksy, thanks Paul.
Glad to be of assistance! ;)
Yeah, um, the auto install managed to destroy my (self-coded) template, so there's been no content for 48 hours as I've been swamped at work. Ah well, the interface and reports look good if nothing else...
Oh heck! Sorry if I am the cause of that!
