Hi!
I have been always curious about the number of people, who look at my journals. And new style of "favable" journals could finally show it to me. I was interested - when I post a journal, I usually have some + 400 views on my profile page. So I expected to have some 400 views on my last journals, which would confirm, that 400 persons read it. But it got some 6 000 views!

it is MUCH more than my photos usually have!

I can not believe this number is correct... I was told that the journal appeared in some dA news section, but I am not sure if that is a reason, because I had no special pageviews, just regular + 400, which is typical for a day, when I post a journal. I think that new visitors, who would be attracted by a journal, would probably (at least small part of them) visit my page, so I would have bigger number of pageviews
So this is a mystery, really...
As I said, I like my photo journals and I consider them my "trade mark", something which differs me from another deviants. But I can not believe that my journals can be really read by so many people!

It must be some kind of error...
Today, I post older photos of wolves - I have many relatively good photos of wolves taken with my old Canon Powershot S5 IS camera, but as I can already produce more vivid and bright shots with my SLR, I do not feel like posting those old images. I decided to use a journal to share them. Because I bet many of you watch me for wolf photos, right? ;D
And of course, thanks for every journal-fav!
1. people can view your journals in their message centers without actually being on your page??? (idk if this happens, but I know that I can't access your other tabs while viewing a journal in my message center unless I click on your ID link first)
2. the page-views thing on your profile only counts the people who visit your PROFILE tab of your dA account??? (once again, I have no idea if this is actually the case)
