Just got hit with the overwhelming need to share this little nugget of information. Blogger.com recently added a new statistics feature. It's fairly fascinating. Bloggers can track things like how many hits they receive every day and from what cities, states or countries their readers are accessing the blog. Apparently, I'm a big hit in Russia. (in Soviet Union, blog reads you!)

There's also a "traffic source" function that tells you what specific keyword searches led readers to your blog. Most days, the majority come from searches like "ramblings from the runway", "uconn football blog" and, for some reason, "john c. reilly". But, at least today, I'm getting hits from the phrase "fat italian".

I know I've put on a couple of pounds, but is it that noticeable? At any rate, it warms my heart knowing millions of Internet users in the market for fat Italians will be sent to the Runway.

Va'fa Napoli!
