Half my readers don't speak English as a native language

Server-1

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my current readership's geographic distribution.

Even if you assume every one of my Canadian readers speaks English rather than French as a first language, that still leaves nearly half my fans outside the native English-speaking world.

Why do I like this so much?

Because it makes me think I'm on the right track in my approach to bookofjoe, namely in the stuff I feature and how I present it.

Transcending language: I'm down with that.

Happy new year.

As for the 31% whose location is "Unknown" — I see what you're doing there with that ansible....

Happy New Year from a native English speaker in Hong Kong! ;-)

Buggers not withstanding; where are the Russians?

I fondly recall all of those great Russian architectural / invention behemoths you used to post.

I'd bet that a few of them posted now would lure in the Russian readers.

Say, "Happy New Year" to Ender & Valentine for me.

I think you need to work on your grasp of statistics because, at least for now, you and I are experiencing a credibility-gap™.
