I am having issues with stalkers, hackers, and now my blog is somehow being shared to a website with a lot more views than it should be getting.
The analytics are being installed now to see where the numerous views are coming from and why.
It may be the end of this blog, and possibly starting a newer one elsewhere, or ending this one all together.
If any of my followers have insight on other ways to track the views (and locations specifically), and how to get that done, I would appreciate it.
Thanks if you are able to comment any assistance on these issues. Specifically, more information on who is viewing and for where.
Until next time, and maybe not until next time. I loved writing this blog, and it started over 20 years ago, and mostly all about growing our garden and self sufficiency. I included handiwork, and sometimes other misc. info, but to cause me this much headache is not worth the time and effort any longer.

Will you post the new blog name here please?
Firstly, I have it set that only those with google accounts. That really cut down on the “anonymous” spam comments. In settings, my blog is no longer open to search engines. It’s private. That cut down on the bots. Last resort would be keeping your blog and having it closed to custom readers (like me) I’ve thought about doing that before. You would need everyone’s email.
So far the only issues I’m having with blogger is mostly technical.
Don’t shut down without letting us know in advance. I would miss you.
No idea how to help you. I used to be able to tell where the views were coming from but no longer. You could always make it private and invite viewers to be able to see it.
Oh dear, that's concerning. I've always used statcounter although I confess I haven't checked it in awhile. It give the time and location of visitors, which of your pages they visited, their operating system and browser, along with incoming and outgoing links (if applicable).
I do hope you find whatever is causing this, I don't comment often but always read.
God bless.
Go to your blogger dashboard and check your Stats. I do not pay much attention to who reads etc...
First, thank you all for the advice, help and assistance. I think (whew!) I have figured it out, and today the blog is back to normal. I will be looking into that stat counter too Leigh, and checking to make sure I have it set to google account folks as well. I will be watching it and see how it goes.
