One of the most interesting things we found from the statistics is that new readers come to the blog because we are fairly high on the Google result list for searches on information about Mark Kistler’s Draw Squad, Sonlight Homeschool curricula, Singapore Math, Teaching Textbooks math, Amigurumi, homeschool socialization, and several other topics. We do not know how many first time visitors stick around to read more of the blog nor how many return to the site to read more later. We do know that some come back because they have commented here. We love it that we have established a little bit of community and that people feel comfortable enough to comment.
The blog started out as a record of our kids homeschool journey. The thing we like about the blog is that it has evolved into a narrative that is interesting to write, not so much because the things in it are so exceptional, but because the things in it are so, well, regular or normal. When we write about homeschool, crafts, or technology projects, they are part of the narrative flow. We really try not to characterize our thoughts as the last word on a subject, they are just our thoughts. This is the stuff that interests us and we are glad it is of interest to some other people, too.
If you are a lurker, we are very happy you are here. If you would be willing to leave a short comment letting us know you are here, we would grateful for that, too. Thanks to everyone out there for making this blog fun.
