Upvote

Thanks so much for coming to read my blog today! You're the 


TWENTY-THIRD


person to do so.

It took me several hours to figure out how to program this so that you got the right number. The hard part was creating a kind of internal cookie that remembers your number so that if you come back and read this later (for some reason) you will still have the same number you started with. I didn't want it to count you twice. This tiny bit of programming was pretty challenging and took me awhile, so it would really mean a lot to me if you upvoted.

You know, upvoted. Like, upvote?

It's where you vote on the "up" arrow to show your approval of something.

I don't know. It's okay I guess. I'm more of an upvoter kind of a person, glass is half full even if it's empty. So if you could just click on the upvote...

No, not with your finger on the screen, with your mouse.

No, the left button.

What do you mean where's the upvote button?

Oh.

Right.

I don't have an upvote button.

Atch, no worries.

You probably guessed this already:


This all is its own reward.



It sort of has to be.
