HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ MY BLOG?

I just realised that I have written 147 posts since I began blogging which I realise is a small number compared with many bloggers but I often wonder if more than 2 or 3 people ever read what I have written. I guess it's not all that interesting or perhaps I write things that puts people off. I just don't know the answer to that one. I seem to have (or did have) 4 followers, 3 of whom do occasionally make comment which I welcome with open arms so thank you for that.

Other bloggers seem to have numerous followers and I wonder how this comes about. Do bloggers perhaps recommend blogs to other bloggers or what? I know so little about the world of blogging that I feel I need some answers and wonder if anyone out there in blogger land can provide them for me. I feel that by now I should know much more than I do but I just don't.

If I knew how to put photos on my blog would that perhaps make it more interesting to people? I feel I certainly do need some help so how about a few hints to this lonely blogger...please, if you have the time.
