Statcounter has a feature that shows a map of the world with the location of your hits on it. I look at it from time to time and think it would be pretty cool to have hits from the six populated continents. (Not sure if I’ve ever had a hit from Antarctica since the Simon Down South days and I can’t remember if it showed him as being from Antarctica or Britain.)
I rarely get hits from Africa, and its even rarer to get a hit from South America (perhaps I need to write more Spanish or Portugese), and usually by the time I do get a hit from South America my hits from Asia have dropped off the log. So this afternoon when I checked this was a pretty cool thing to see. I know its just navel gazing but its my navel.

If my navel looked like that I’d be seriously worried, Clare.
Well usually all I find is lint Pete, who knew?
I’m with you on this one Clare. I find it fascinating to see where people come from, I mean, not the gazing at your navel bit. I leave that up to you and, perhaps, you wife 😉
And a hairy navel at that. I like reading the names of some of these places. I thought I knew my geography, but I guess not.
Perhaps I’ll have to post a photo. But then I’d be looking at an empty map instead. Perhaps not.
Hi Clare,
I know I have checked in from Antarctica – last November in fact. I bet the sat connection doesn’t show it from there though. So you can check that continent off too if only in your mind. John
Looking at my last comment now it seems a little obscure, but I meant perhaps I’ll have to post a photo of my navel…
John, I’m pretty sure that it didn’t show up as being from Antarctica, but I can’t remember exactly how it displayed. Back when Simon blogged from there, Halley if my memory serves me, (not serving me very well I can’t remember the name of his blog… Simon Down South? South of 75? Simon at 75?…) I’m not sure what it showed for him. I know Statcounter didn’t have the map feature back then.
This will probably happen more often now, I just found out that Statcounter now lets you have a log size of 500 (free) so the last 500 hits will show instead of the last 100. That will keep the Asian hits from dropping off before the S. American ones show up, on the odd occasion that they do.
