The above screen shot reflects page views registered by Blogger. One problem: Not all of them make sense, given at least one anomaly I detected. For example, one line represents page counts over the last 7 days for a Christmas post. (You may have to enlarge the above image to see it.) The big question is: Why would anyone be scanning individual posts made 10+ months ago?
A while back, Blogger screwed up the links to updated web pages - and took time to fix it. Recently, I noticed that they were under-counting page views - and that took some time to get fixed. I suspect that Blogger (Google) is making changes behind the scenes and testing them in the field. One gets what they pay for, and Blogger is free for many people.

Blogger.com is not the best platform for blogging and for webpage generation. But it suits my purposes for now. I'm having a little trouble deciding whether I should code a Javascript widget for my cruise related website or whether I should hire it out. If I do the work, I'll understand how to maintain the darned thing. But if I hire it out, it'll get done quicker and I can begin the work to generate a vlog and get it monetized. Either way, it'll be a bit of work for me.
So, Blogger.com may be FUBAR right now, but it's a cheap enough platform for me to start from right now.
