One For My Phantom Readers

Since I've not been blogging regularly due to the inconvenience caused recently by Blogger's faulty splog detection system, I had some spare time on my hands (well, actually not that much but still I was itching to do some nonsensical stuff, just for the fun of it). I used the various tools available online to see who were linking up to me and the findings are a bit surprising and unexpected. I was actually on the path of partially discovering my phantom readers!



Who do I classify as phantom readers? Well, to me, phantom readers are those who follow my blog that I do not know about. So, are they still considered phantom readers after I find out they are following my blog? Well, unless they tell me personally or through commenting on my blog, to me they are still classified as phantom readers. I don't mind phantom readers, just that sometimes the thought of someone reading my blog religiously but me not knowing who it is might be a bit scary. Haha. Well, actually there's nothing to be afraid of anyway or else I wouldn't have started a blog in the first place! Just that it would be nice to know who frequents my blog. :)

At first I did get startled when some individuals told me they were following my blog. I was actually surprised that some individuals actually find my nonsense interesting to read rather than scared to death that they are reading my mind and soul. I feel so honoured, really that someone would actually want to understand the mess that I am. :P Anyway, I'm past that I'm- so- surprised- you're- reading- my- blog- seriously- are- you- for- real phase. I'm more than happy to discover my readers and hopefully forge a bond with them, if possible.

Now then, don't be shy. Reveal yourselves. I won't bite (well, at least not all the time :P). I would really want to try getting to know you guys, if possible. Ainelivia, you still reading my blog? My stats show someone from UK frequenting my blog. Is that you? ;)



Well, to those who have links to my blog, a big thank you for your support. Just a small request though. It would really be great if those who have linked to my blog as http://www.surf-my.blogspot.com/ to change it to http://surf-my.blogspot.com/ instead. Sorry for the inconvenience but I would really appreciate it. :) I have my own weird reasons, don't ask! :P

To all my readers (phantom or not, loyal or sporadic), I truly appreciate your continued support and readership. It is what spurs me on everyday knowing that what I write actually means something to someone. However, please understand blogging has really become a fuss lately due to the restrictions placed on my blog by Blogger. :(

Anyway, I will continue on blogging for now (unless I get so fed-up with the word verification thingy) but entries will be scarce mainly due to the restrictions and partly due to time constraints on my part. Once again, thank you all for your support. :D
