Mr. Whipple! You are reading the Ichabod.
Norman Teigen has left a new comment on your post "A Post Worth Copying":
I spoke with a WELS official in the narthex after Baptismal service. He had a WELS pin in his lapel.
After a few moments of polite conversation I asked if he knew Greg Jackson. Yes, he did, was the reply but he never reads him on the Internet.
So, there you have it, GJ. You are not being read at WELS HQ.
What say you?

GJ - I have written proof that it is read at The Love Shack. That is all I need to say.
I imagine most of them read Ichabod, but it only hardens their flinty hearts. I started Ichabod for a few dozen people who might be interested. I was shocked when I reached 100-200 readers a day.
Page-reads per day are going to be higher than unique readers per day. The page-reads now average between 1000 and 2000 pages per day. What impresses me are the old posts which occupy a high standing as most-read. That varies with last month, last week, or all time. This is one from last week:

I know people in Appleton, Milwaukee, and Mankato read it every day.
At times I grow tired of talking Lutheran doctrine to Reformed-New Age church leaders, but then I get a personal email from a layman, who writes about how much he enjoys the blog. Or it may be from the daughter of a retired pastor, who is reputedly a daily communicant on the blog.
I have seen a total of 20,000 unique readers but I think the regular readership, on a daily basis, is more like 1,000+. Tags can bring in readers for one particular story, like the Muslim evangelist or a Hollywood celebrity. Ichabod is linked all over the blogosphere so Tim's link-killing software is a waste of money.
If I can help someone feel sane in "these last days of an insane, old world" (Chemnitz), then I am happy.
