I'm so vain, I probably think this blog is about me

How does Blogger decide how many times my blog has been viewed? Does it count the number of times that I go to my blog to look to see if anyone is reading it? Does it only count a view if it comes from a different IP address? If the same person visits the page twice does it count as two views?

Right now I have 37 views, but I feel like at least 30 of those are from me going on to see if anyone is reading it and leaving a comment. So far I only know of 4 people that have read a blog entry because of comments left, so the number of times that I have been registered as reading my blog could be as high as 33 (hurray subtraction!) or about ten percent of the people reading my blog are not me (that .108 mark is coincidentally around the Pirates winning percentage since their "blockbuster" trade)

Perhaps I should pander to my known audience and discuss Nazi's, fast food, Team USA Basketball, and Chinese grooming and body art choices? But really we (the royal) need to bring in new readers without alienating the old ones. I thought the solution would be three straight blogs about the Steelers (I mean who doesn't want to talk about the Steelers all the time) but that doesn't seem to be working either.

It could take some soul searching.
