“Who’s hitting these things” continued

—“A cellphone hit is a BlogSpot hit!” I exclaimed.
—1) Write blog and publish on BlogSpot.
—2) Crank blog-link into Facebook, usually the same day I publish.
—3) The following day I e-mail blog-links to my constant-readers out there in cyberspace. There used to be about 30, but I cut back to maybe 15.
The idea was to see if anyone was reading these blogs from Facebook. Only Facebook “friends” can do that — and I don’t have many.
Many of my Facebook “friends” are not among my constant-readers.
Plus that Facebook “friend” has to be notified I Facebooked that blog link. I’ve heard hoary stories about the dreaded Facebook algorithm.
Often one or two Facebook hits (visits) per blog, and I don’t know who they are.
The other day I noticed a single hit before I Facebooked my blog. Someone (I thought) was hitting direct to BlogSpot.
Who could that be?
My friend in Californy has a reader that probably grabs direct.
Another possible is my pretty lifeguard friend at Canandaigua’s YMCA swimming-pool. Long ago she suggested she could Google “BobbaLew-BlogSpot.” Her hit would be direct.
Then I realized I could “proof” a published blog on my iPhone, saving me having to disconnect and move this laptop.
I started doing that, but I gotta publish to be able to do it.
That puts an “unproofed” blog out there for grabbing by all and sundry.
Not a problem if the blog-link wasn’t Facebooked or e-mailed yet.
Or so I thought!
I noticed I was getting blog hits before I even Facebooked or e-mailed.
My lifeguard friend mayhap?
If so, good for her. Many of my recent blogs say she is pretty.
The first thing I do every morning is fire up this machine, then look at my blog-monitor to see if anyone hit the blog overnight before I Facebooked or e-mailed it.
The other morning no hits at first.
I then “proofed” it on my iPhone, then “refreshed” my laptop blog-monitor, and suddenly it had one hit.
Perhaps my lifeguard friend just got up and grabbed it? Or perhaps my Californy friend’s reader grabbed it while she was asleep?
I again “proofed” it on my iPhone, then again “refreshed” my laptop blog-monitor, and suddenly it had two hits.
HMMMMNNNNN.
Time for a test, even though science (GASP!) is a conspiracy.
Try again: fire up blog on iPhone, then “refresh” laptop blog-monitor. Suddenly three hits.
Engage scientific method: try it again, and keep trying; all the way up to eight hits.
Scientifical conclusion time = HELLO! A cellphone hit is a DIRECT BlogSpot hit!
This puts the kibosh to my hope my lifeguard-friend was the one hitting my blog before anyone else.
This also puts the kibosh to my hope anyone else was hitting my blog before I e-mailed — like various Facebook “friends.”
So I was being led astray = proof yet again that my all-knowing critics are correct as always to say I think too much.
“No pretty lady will have anything to do with you!” (E.g. My lifeguard-friend, et al.)
