TECHNO TUESDAY....(Yes, I know it's Friday.)

I couldn’t wait for Techno Tuesday, so I’m having it today. With the release of the ipad dominating the news, I decided to discuss an awesome gadget…the Statcounter. If you have a blog or a website, this techno-tool is a must. Not only does it track the number of people who visit your blog, it tells you how long they visited, and if they are regular visitors or this was their first visit. That’s pretty cool, but isn’t the coolest part…This service is FREE! But wait there’s more…The Statcounter can generate a map that shows where your site visitors come from. I had a visitor from the Ukraine yesterday! NOW THAT IS COOL!


Have a great weekend!

Be safe!


Be happy!

Hopefully, you’ll check out the link. Remember it’s free...
