    In the last few days the number of visitors to my blog have more than doubled. I know that over time exponential growth is normal, but I would love to know how you found All the Best (google search, newspaper, magazine, another blog). As always I welcome your thoughts and comments.

    All the best,
    Ronda

      Doesn’t your stat counter tell you what the referring page is?

      Hi anonymous. Yes, if they come from a referring page or link. But in the past few days I have had an unusually large number of first time visitors with no referring address or page link.

      Hi – I think it was Patricia Grey but I read all the design blogs so it could have been any one of them. I think the reason you’ve had so many hits lately is I’m home sick and surfing constantly!!!
      Take care

      Hi Rhonda
      The first blog I ever read was Mark Cutler’s as he is a fellow Interior Designer. You were a link on his Blog. That was late last Spring when you had taken a hiatus from Blogging. I anxiously checked your blog and finally you returned with renewed gusto. I am so glad you did. BTW the visits to my Blog have also increased expedientially since the beginning of the New Year.

      I also just had a link to you on a post that I did, but that wouldn’t account for any kind of jump!

      Hope you’re well… It’s in the 60′s here!

      I first found you through Cote de Texas, since she mentions you occasionally. I’ve also seen your link on other blogs.

      I found you through KatieDID and am so glad! I check your blog religiously every morning.

      I’ve noticed increased traffic also. I think part of it (at least for me) is that people are now starting to get back into their normal routine after their holidays.

      I can’t remember, but now that I’m blogging myself, I find that I look around at what others are saying more now. I also find that I’m blogging, I value the comments I get on my posts, so I try to return the favor (although you always have lots of love, so you don’t need my little words!)

      Hi there, Ronda. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, first as a lurker, then as a blogger. I believe I found your blog through another design blog, but it’s been awhile, so I can’t remember whose. FYI, my fave post is still the J Crew one (in Scotland?).

      I wish I could remember…it was either through a search or because someone else’s blog linked to yours.
