Nation Solicitation


Yes...by posting this, I have no shame.

I use a small application on my blog, called "Flag Counter",
that monitors what countries and territories I receive
visitors from on my blog. As I write this, I've had
visitors from 119 nations and territories. The latest
being Isle of Man, a small British dependency off the
coast of France in the English Channel. However, that
visit came toward the end of October and I haven't had
a visitor from a "new" country since. So, as a shameless
and totally self-serving method of getting more people
from "new" nations to view my blog, I'm listing all of
the countries Flag Counter lists as "nations". How
will this work you ask? Not that it's likely to happen,
but if someone places the words "Seychelles" and
"Antarctica" in Google, hopefully that will lead them to
my blog. (by the way, someone from the Seychelles actually
visited my blog on April 4, 2009, so it could happen).
So let's see if this works. Since Flag Counter lists
237 countries and territories, I'm exactly half way there,
and no...I don't have a listing for Antarctica since all
of the listings from McMurdo are registered as USA. Our
server is located in Colorado!

Good luck. Let us know if it works.

Well...so far I've added "Unknown-Asia Pacific Region" and "Georgia", the country...not the state.
