    Golly, you are popular! I’m a ‘lurker unlurking’, paving the way for other lurkers! Have bought from Bead Merrily a couple of times. So now I sound like a stalker as well as a lurker…. eeep – I promise I’m not! Anyway … *ex-lurker waves hello at name-twin Frances* xx

    Another daily lurker here, from Texas. I love reading your site, and also the UK blogring.

    I’ll work on that tomorrow 😉 Hello Dortha 🙂

    I’ll *scuttle* out from lurking, I visit nearly every other day!, I’ve told freinds to visit too. I have delurked now and again, mainly to ask the odd question, which has always been answered, I think the last one was on the Draw Write Now box set – which I now own and has been a great success with the kids 🙂 I’ll try to delurk more often – not promising anything mind! It takes a lot of nerve for me to delurk.

    I’ve bought off Bead Merrily too, oh and I bought the muddle puddle book bags, my kids love them for their weekly library visits.

    *scuttling* back to lurk again.

    I wonder where those two larger clusters in the States are? Anyone think they’re from one?

  8. Gill says

    February 16, 2007 at 2:46 pm

    Blimey, that’s going some! I had to look twice at the number – wait I’m off to look again, I still don’t believe my eyes 😯

    That would freak me out if that many was reading me I didn’t know. Fortunately I am not that popular:)

    *Waves at all delurkers*

    There was a point yesterday when you could see different people in the UK – i justl ike the spread of dots really – quite fascinating!

  11. Daddybean says

    February 16, 2007 at 5:24 pm

    Yeah, problem with free things is you egt that ‘ahh, can’t get that bot of info moment’ 🙂

    Shame the map (in this free versions anyway) doesn’t distinguish between lots of visits from the same person , (well IP address I guess – me and Helen wouldn’t be differentiated), and fewer visits from more people.

  12. Tammy says

    February 16, 2007 at 8:28 pm

    Africa doesn’t know what it’s missing! 🙂

    Alison, my guess on the upper big dot in the States is that it reflects one IP address of a large internet provider which lists its location as “USA” which Google then places at the center of the lower 48 States. Example: maybe AOL.

  13. Lin says

    February 16, 2007 at 8:47 pm

    I’m with Ruth on this one, it would totally freak me out to know that so many people were reading my blog that i didn’t know. It freaks me out just reading my stat counter though so no real surprise there! 😉

    I found your blog from an Unschooling Voices post waaaay back, and have been visiting pretty regularly. Love the blog.

  15. Daddybean says

    February 16, 2007 at 8:41 pm

    Actually, if you select the ‘view with smaller clusters’ the top big dot, splits into 3 smaller ones

  16. merry says

    February 16, 2007 at 9:44 pm

    Hello Liz in Australia 🙂

    Hi! Funny to think there are lots of other lurkers out there!!
    Great blog! Get lots of ideas and inspiration for home edding my two girls! Read it lots.
    Sorry, not in Africa!
    Just Hampshire!

  19. Catherine says

    Hello, another daily lurker here! Reading your blog gave me the courage to home-ed my daughters who were miserable at school so a big thanks from me and them.

  20. Tammy says

    February 16, 2007 at 10:57 pm

    Thanks, Daddybean. Now, Alison and I know that the big dot isn’t one person. 🙂

    (yup,trust me to romanticise everything,lol)

    Well I suppose you could call me a lurker LOL Although you know me. I have been reading your blog for about 3 years as I love the stuff you do with your girls. But stop mentioning stuff I keep wanting to buy as we may go bankcrupt!!!

  23. Nikki says

    February 16, 2007 at 10:45 pm

    I read every other day or so, although I’m not sure I’ve ever commented. So hello Merry & Girls! Like Catherine says above, I’m the same – your blog and muddlepuddle were the first things I came across when looking into home ed a few years ago, and together the two sites really inspired me and made me think, hey, we can do this. Thank you 🙂

  24. Debra says

    February 16, 2007 at 11:52 pm

    Hi, I am also a lurker, I visit a couple of times a week, I have found your site so useful for home educating my three kids. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

  25. Greer says

    February 17, 2007 at 12:11 am

    I *am* laughing 🙂

    tagged you!!

  26. merry says

    February 17, 2007 at 1:34 am

    See what a good influence i am on most people Greer? I dunno where i went wrong with you 😉 😉 😉

    So, now whati wnat to know is… did the people who have bought beads find BM first or the blog?

    And thank you for unlurking 🙂

    Hi from Texas , madly waving! I am a lurker too, love your site and have found lots of things helpful for my kids too.
    Maybe you’ll get a book deal like Pasta Queen ( half of me blog).

  28. Helen P says

    February 17, 2007 at 10:51 am

    I can’t believe how many other lurkers there are; I feel far less stalkerish now… I love your blog and have been reading on an almost daily basis for a couple of years now! I might be brave enough to comment occasionally now I have said hello 😉

  29. Sarah says

    February 17, 2007 at 11:23 am

    *waves hello* I’m a sort of lurker (have posted a couple of times) 🙂 I tell you what really IS scary – I use Statcounter and get a map there too buuuut you can actually zoom right in on the little dots until you can see that actual road the dot is located in!

  30. Susannah says

    February 17, 2007 at 1:16 pm

    I live in Exeter and know the Clarkes a bit, but first found your blog through
    a Google search for “Brethren headscarf” of all things!! I’ve been reading for a
    couple of years now and have bought from BM too. Hope I’m a “good” lurker!

  31. Veronica says

    February 17, 2007 at 2:26 pm

    I lurk too, although do comment very ocasionally. wow I have stat counter, just had a look and found out you can even zoom on to the building that the dot came from

  32. Katherine says

    February 17, 2007 at 8:18 pm

    I’ll unlurk too then! I came to camp a couple of years ago and lurk (when I find time) on a few of the blogring blogs. I found the MP site and list really useful when I was first looking into HE. To me, you will always be Mrs MuddlePuddle. I’m too shy to unlurk too often!

  33. Greer says

    February 18, 2007 at 1:35 pm

    I see!! I think it’s amazing you have helped and inspired so many people. You should be very proud. And smug 🙂

    I think you have done an OK job with me actually! Inadvertent on your part maybe, but I’ve picked up a few things.. wasn’t gonna actually tell you though.. I am a little sister after all 🙂 😉

    I’d be interested to see lurkers unlurk on my site too but they never do.. I must attract shy people.. either that or I’m boring!! 😆

  34. Swiss Clare says

    February 18, 2007 at 5:47 pm

    I’m your swiss lurker!

    Went to muddlepuddle first, then bead merrily, and met you in the flesh last summer at mp camp.

    Frequently make my way round the blog ring, and am a serial lurker 😉 Just think that people would be more freaked if I randomly commented every now and then.

    Hello, unlurking in London. (Sorry, unglamorous dot on the map.)

    I come and lurk occasionally, only occasionally because did you know that Bloglines doesn’t recognise your updates? Without Bloglines I am lost.
