Colder Weather (again) ~ 43 degrees! What?!

 I have yet to remedy the websites using my blog for whatever they are using it for.  The views cut down by about 200, but considering I posted a very, very short post yesterday, it's still getting 300 views from advertiser businesses and other businesses.  All to read about how they are using my blog too.

It is very annoying to be honest.  I have not had a lot of time to work on putting a stop to it, but I did look into a few of the sites to "opt" out and there were no options to remove my blog.  Not sure what to do next.  If I do remedy the situation, I will remove the page breaks on my posts.

The majority of viewers are from Hong Kong and Singapore (huh?).  Like it's been suggested, AI may be the reason, and one we cannot avoid, as Blogger has very little privacy options.

Blogger and Issues

 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.
