i did not know the provider of my blog has a tracking device to keep score of amongst other stats, my readers and their country of origin.

1. singapore - 48%
2. united states - 16%

if i list pageviews by browsers:

1. firefox - 32%
2. internet explorer - 30%
3. chrome - 9%
4. safari - 7%
5. opera - 2%

and pageview by operating systems:

2. macintosh - 7%
3. linux - 5%

my comments:

dear readers, whoever u are or wherever u come from or your choice of browers or operating systems, u are welcome to my blog. i was told by my fellow promiseland bloggers that a very high percentage of their readers are probably 'competitors' from the financial industry be they insurance agents, bank advisers, and so on and so forth.

be that as it may, i have absolutely no qualms on sharing my knowledge with fellow financial professionals.

one stat that i'm certainly astonished with is the fact that more than 50% of the readers of my blog are not from my home country and hail as far away as the united states and latin america as well.

however, i have to learn to be more wise as there is always a risk of being taken for a ride as have happened far too many times in my 14 years in the financial industry.

and by God's grace, i shall continue to blog as often as i can when i first started to do so since the year 2006.
