My son has a laptop computer that has a mount for his wheelchair. We bought an anti-theft cable for it from (I think) London Drugs. Gives us peace of mind if nothing else.

I find the various stats amusing. They rarely agree. If one set of stats says time on site increased, another source says it decreased. So, really, what are they measuring. And, as Almundena pointed out, people who read via rss readers etc aren’t included in the stats.

You’re correct: the best part about blogging are the comments readers leave. That’s what makes blogging worth it.

And, yes, I hope to meet you in March at SXSW!

I tried an experiment with my last Thumb-sized News Bytes. I also sent it out to an old email list that I started while I was writing m autobiography and I’d send out monthly updates. I haven’t emailed that list for a few years – yes, I know, me bad! – but I was curious to see what the response would be.

Interestingly, the newsletter went out to twice as many people, yet the number of opens didn’t increase proportionately but the number of clicks doubled. Go figure! I’m not sure what that indicates – if anything.

I’m glad to hear you find my blog useful – that’s definitely more rewarding than any stats! Thank you.

And, yes, you are so correct. The stats do not measure the number of people who read blogs elsewhere, like in feed readers, via email and such. These stats give only part of the picture.

Almudena, please feel welcome to leave comments any time. Your written English is fine. Thanks again for reading from afar.

What the commenters say is as or more meaningful than how many there are.

This was interesting to me because I could understand it. Too many of these type articles are written for fellow geeks and not we average readers. Thanks!
