The New Phenomenon of 'Blog Followers'


I was curious the other day to notice something just appear on my blog - 'blog followers'. 

For a very small amount of time (promise!), I thought people were KGB-ing me (and by extension us) to guard against copyright infringements. Which none of us of course have ever indulged in - always hiring top models for high production value photo shoots. And renting studio space to extend these sessions into blockbuster 'action' movies. Which we then post - to stimulate you, in a very natural and health-giving way.

Beyond now knowing it's only about who's following your blog, to some degree or other, I'm still a little fuzzy about the deal.

So I must go to the Blogger homepage and investigate - and report back!

And then decide where I am going to become a 'follower'!

    I noticed I had a couple of "followers" as well. Honestly I don't really see the need for this. If you are a follower, you will visit the blog's site more than a couple of times a week, like I visit yours dear Nick.

    That's weird that it just popped up on your blog... I had to add the function. It's not KGB, these are just fans of your site.

    Keep up the great work.
