		<description>Yeah, I have quite a few readers Sunday nights, but I have most on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You should check how much your readership stats jump when Craig links a post to his page!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I was going to quit last week partly because of the stat counter though - not because people don&#039;t read my page - because I have quite a high number (I assume - noone really to compare to, maybe it&#039;s not a high number!)...but because I started to write to see if the stats went higher and lower - and it messed with my mind!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hence, thinking of taking it off, or not looking at it - also starting questioning why and whom I write for...that&#039;s sorted out in my head now though!</description>

<p>I was going to quit last week partly because of the stat counter though &#8211; not because people don&#8217;t read my page &#8211; because I have quite a high number (I assume &#8211; noone really to compare to, maybe it&#8217;s not a high number!)&#8230;but because I started to write to see if the stats went higher and lower &#8211; and it messed with my mind!</p>

		<description>I too read your blog...but everyone else has beaten me to saying that, so it doesn&#039;t count!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I put a counter on my page - but am thinking of removing it because it stresses me out - interesting to see which days of the week are popular though.</description>
