Stats

I have noticed with my Macbook pro laptop problems as time goes on in regard to being able to read my statistics or stats for my blog. I find reading my stats helpful in knowing what my worldwide readers are most interested in. When I first looked at my stats a few years ago now I was greatly surprised at what people were interested in reading because often it isn't what I or you might expect. I think this is because information is "conversational". What I mean by this is that someone gets interested in an article and so sends a word button to a friend who might talk to them about that subject and it might be recommended to other friends on a worldwide basis. One never knows what is going to be important to any given person. But when it happens often hundreds of people or more find that article or blog article or quote of something else because it is meaningful or important to them. And in some ways there is no way to completely predict why that is.

So, I find it very helpful in giving readers what they want to read about to know what they are interested in on any given day. However, with my Macbook pro often the little rainbow circle will prevent me from reaching my stats.

Often though, if you just turn your computer completely off for 10 minutes or more, the computer can reset itself and then you can reach your stats again (as long as the Internet isn't clogged with too much traffic at that time of day).

So, this is just a tip to remember to periodically turn your computer off. Often I don't turn mine off and instead just close the laptop up which puts it to sleep until I open it up again. Especially while I have been traveling I tend to do this as long as it is completely charged up so I don't have to worry about the battery going dead while I'm traveling. Then when I reach my new destination and wifi I just open it up and it's already on and all I have to do is to find the wifi I need to use and the password if there is one and go to work.

So, hopefully, what I'm saying to you here will be helpful in your travels too.

However, another thing to be aware of traveling is that you cannot always count on a fast enough internet wifi connection to accomplish what you want to because often there are too many people on any given wifi network for it to be fast enough for streaming or even saving your blog information.
