I won't bang on about this ....

......too often *cough* but today is likely to be a significant day in gemmaks-ville in a kinda insignificant way, for with a little luck and a prevailing wind I will pass the 30,000 hit mark!!! OMG!!!

About a year ago I found a blog we all now know and love, that blog was 'beFrank'. beFrank has just been honoured by taking his well deserved place on Bloggers homepage in the 'blogs of note' section. At the time he had a little over 30,000 hits on his counter and I remember well thinking that only the likes of Bryan could ever achieve that, an impossible figure for the likes of me.....and from that point on the 30,000 became kind if like a landmark figure to me. 10,000 and I was pleased, 20,000 was incredible to me but 30,000 is just amazing. Bryan himself gave me a good kick start, he linked to me in a post in those early days and within hours my counter was looking better than it ever had.

I have been as honest as I can with my figures, I exclude my own hits and have even been known to subtract them when the cookie that 'does the business' disappears from time to time.

I am completely amazed that in a year I have made what to me, was Bryan's almost iconic number and so thank you BeFrank for that link and thank you all for your unending loyalty in pottering over here as often as you do.

Yayyyyy....30,000, I don't believe it! Oh, and incidentally, if you pop over to his blog right now you will notice his hit counter is at a place I don't ever imagine I'll be! :o)

I felt like that when I hit 30,000 too ;-) Now I just sit in stunned fascination - having said that most of my visitors only stay seconds these days rather than minutes. I hide my hitcounter though with a sitemeter pro invisible tracker

So what does your hidden counter stand at, I would be interested to know :o)
