Hello everyone, I just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know that I am currently camping with my Scout Troop at the Canadian Jamboree. Jamborees, for those of you who have never experienced one, are a great opportunity for Scouts to meet other youth from all over the world.

I’ve been blogging a long time, but that doesn’t mean I know what I’m doing when it comes to my website. Yes, I’m a technical guy, but I’m not an Internet technical guy. That means I’m still not getting the most bang for my buck out of this website. I have been increasing the number of people who actually access my site on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, but are they real people or bots? Are they real people or just aggregation sites?
