Milli-hit Gratitude, 1000 Thanks to You!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog post to take a second and say thanks.  Today, except by some strange stroke of misfortune, Worlds Unseen and Lands Unknown is expected to receive its 1,000th visit from friends like you.  This seemed momentous, especially to someone as enamoured with statistics as I seem to be, and therefore worth recognizing.

So thank you for your time, and your fellow traveling.  The map above is a depiction of all of the places where I've been ... Ever.  This is shown by country and includes such frivolous visits as layovers in airports that really shouldn't be counted at all.  Below is the map of all of the places where you have been while checking out my posts.  My!  You are an international group.

23 Countries!

Finally, in recognition of this milestone, and because the poll on this page seems to have utterly failed for some people who have tried to vote, I put the question to you.  If there were anything about the layout of this site that you think could use some improvement or that you would change if you held the title of "The Writer", what would you change?  Do you like the elephant?  Would the text be better if it were dark with a lighter background?  Is there something in particular that you think is missing, or that you would like taken away?  This is your chance.  Please let me know what works and what sucks, and together we can gather and turn 1,000 hits into 1,000 viewers.  Oh, the beauty of what your feedback can create!

In order to make this all a little more fool proof, I will be taking comments, suggestions, and what not through several media.

Thanks for playing, thanks for reading, and tune in on Monday for more adventures in Tajikistan!
