I'm supposed to get e-mails for comments but it only happens about half the time. I always get notices of my own replies, however. :/ I only check my stats two or three times a week, though. On four separate sites. I have to check feedburner for subscribers, blogflux for a map, Google analytics for long-term trends, and MyBlogLog for day-to-day specifics. I'm not obsessed or anything, though...much. [heh heh]

I just look at the "Weblog News" section of my forum for my comments updates. Though it must be said I have to do a fair bit of spam clearance - though at least by not getting comment notification e-mails, I don't have to de-clutter my e-mail as well.

I look at my visit counter every so often, but having a BBCode-based blog system that doesn't allow scripts limits the variety of stats I can track substantially (for instance, I've already established Google Analytics won't work). That said, I've noticed I've had about 500 visits in the last fortnight - which is a lot, given that my blog's had fewer than 5000 visits since last August...

I not only stalk my own site, I stalk my friends' sites and groups that I belong to. I don't have a life. I'm always hoping someone will have visited somewhere and said something interesting. I sound so pitiful! Actually, I used to have a life. Then I started having some serious health problems and my hubby was admitted to the nursing home. So my main contact with the world is through the 'net. I visit hubby (semi)regularly. I am very optimistic that my health problems are improving so that I can go where people actually show up physically and interact with them there. You know, get a life away from the computer. In the meantime, I'm a cyber stalker. ;)

Well....since my last post I've checked maybe 10 times to see if anyone commented.

No one commented, but I lost the one reader I had subcribed via feedburner.

'Tis a sad day in blogville.

I never heard of the term "stalking your own site," by now that you said it, it makes us all feel a little odd. I've even stalked myself on my cellphone, as if not reading a comment IMMEDIATELY will make my entire blog blow up, or something else dreadful. So, yes, you are normal... for a crazy blogger.

Now that I've been obsessed with stats, I'm all about checking who's subscribing to my site... shit, if I start wondering how people stumble on my site, what word searches they're using, if they're reading their subscription to my site... I'd be a total mess. And I am a total mess because I do all of those things! I've just delurked myself. How odd.

I DO! *cuddles my site* I love when I get comments from regulars, or comments in general ... maybe I'm just a comment whore ... hmmm ...

I get an email when a new comment is posted and I always go read it ASAP. If that weren't the case though, I'm sure I would stalk myself. :-)

Yes. I stalk my own site DESPITE the fact that I don't have time to do so. This explains why I'm still up at midnight when I have to wake up in less than six hours. I don't even GET that many comments, I just live on the hope that maybe someday I will.

Ahh, yes. Such a dreamer.
