Gravatar I noticed the same thing! When I saw the "next" button, I wondered how long that had been there. Then I checked my SiteMeter stats, and noticed that some of my referring sites were, um, unusual. Definitely random. One was written entirely in Spanish. So of course I checked for some sort of reference to my blog-- none.

Frankly, I think it is odd-- a bit like randomly dialing phone numbers to talk to people. But hey, if it helps spread the faith to one person, I suppose I'd call it a good thing nonetheless.

Maybe we need to put something at the top of our blogs welcoming these new people?


Gravatar Might be an idea Matt! I guess it's one way to expand our horizons. If nothing else, all our site hits are going to go up considerably!


Gravatar But here's another thought I had... I'm not sure I want people who purposely seek out my site (say, because they do a search for a Bible verse... I get a few of those each week) to end up randomly being ported to a "less Christian" site. There are some, er, "different" blogs out there. I wonder if there is a way to eliminate the little "next" button from our own blogs?


Gravatar Well your site visitors have the choice to either click on that or not. I'm amazed/amused at what that next button turns up! But not overly worried about what people might find after leaving my site. But that's just me I guess.
