So I’ve been jumping around cyber space lately (that’s in between dealing with a teething baby and family emergencies). I am overwhelmed with the stuff that I am learning from bloggers all over the world, there’s just so much information out there!
What started out as a little project to keep friends and Business Warriors updated on the progress of our move has turned into something completely different. It never occurred to me that strangers would want to read my diary but apparently they do. I feel as if I have crossed the threshold into a completely different world and there are all these friendly strangers who want to teach me stuff and tell me about their life experiences – it’s just amazing!
I started reading RennyBA's Terella because I wanted to teach my husband about Norwegian culture but instead Renny has introduced me to technorati and Blogcatalog and other blog things that I never worried to check out before. There’s just so much to learn and so little time!
During the first year of Migration Diary I didn’t even think about monitoring traffic or joining blogging communities but then one day hubby decided that he wanted to see how many people were reading my blog so he enabled Google Analytics (this was a couple of months ago). Once I realized that quite a few people were reading my blog I became quite fascinated with the whole ‘traffic’ thing so I started looking at other blogs to see what other bloggers where doing.
Now I’m jumping around technorati, MyBlogLog and Blogcatalog meeting other bloggers and having a wail of a time learning all kinds of new stuff. I was a little disappointed in Amatomu.com though. They were monitoring my traffic quite nicely for one week and I made it to number 138 or something on their list but then I had a few hundred clicks last Tuesday(due to Petesweekly) and all of a sudden they cut me off. Now I can’t read my page impressions or user sessions on their chart anymore and I’m plunging to the depths of the Amatomu blogging chart!
Hubby said it’s because they probably think that I cheated or something when they saw the numbers jump so high within a few hours. Ah well, my claim to fame – I got ditched by Amatomu. I’m still getting linklove though, I’m not sure how that works but I’ll try to learn all about that this weekend.
Time to put baby down for a little snooze, the journey will have to continue later.

This is a very readable and interesting post (mark that I notice your link to mine from mye WP Dashboard!).
I do hope your husband still want to learn more about Norway from my blog, but as a network evangelist, I do understand your other point of views.
The greatest thing about your post is about sharing knowledge. Its a givers gain: You've learned from some who learn some from you - that's why blogging empowering people and always pick up new things.
I love your style - keep up the good work and have a wonderful end to your week :-)

Thank you Renny - you have inspired me! Have a wonderful weekend with your family and 'see' you around blog sphere.
Hi Caroline, please drop me a mail vincent@vincentmaher.com and we can get you back on Amatomu. Sometimes we remove blogs that have the incorrect URL listed for the blog details, which is what happened in your case.
Hi Vincent, thank you - will definitely drop you a mail. What a relief, I don't feel so rejected now.
