Following or just looking?

I love statistics. One of the perks of having this blog is that it provides statistics to me that tells me where the views are coming from when someone has either read or looked at my blog. Just a bit ago, 1,357 pageviews have occurred since I started writing this blog. Most of the views have been from the United States, but I've also had 8 views from Germany, 4 from the United Kingdom, 2 from Denmark, and one each from Canada, Belarus, and Russia. With that many views, you'd think I'd have more "followers" — people who regularly look in and continue reading my postings, but when you look at the opening page of the blog, it only shows that I have one follower. I know of a handful of people who read this blog quite a bit, but I'm not sure what you have to do to become a "follower." So I've wondered for some time now: how may regular readers do I have? If you are a regular reader, please leave a comment after this posting. Thanks. My curiosity has been piqued.
