After ten days or so of, for Gary William Murning Online, at least, extremely high hit rates (close on 7,000 a day at its peak), everything seems to be finally calming down. The world didn’t end (it was never going to, even if there had been a problem with the experiment — which there isn’t — because it doesn’t really start doing proper science for a few weeks yet) and as the dust settles I’m left wondering what to do next by way of a stats encore… and just how many of the visitors I’ve seen over the past few days have decided to stick around and keep reading.
Whilst I work on the first question, maybe you can help with the second.
Are you a new reader who intends on returning? What aspect of this blog do you especially enjoy? The science-related posts? My writing-related work? Have you subscribed via a feedreader, some other service, or do you just pop along when it occurs to you? Is there anything else you would like to see here that I haven’t already thought of?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
In other news…
Was this reporter really serious when he asked in this interview, “What is the hardest thing about your job?”
It can happen – one blog because of it’s subject and being ahead of others leads to huge bumps in readership.
In any case, I will be sticking around 🙂
Pleased to hear that! 😉 I really didn’t want to be the only one left in the room after the party was over LOL. I was concerned that I’d get lumbered with the tidying up 😉
Tidying up? Nobody said anything about that! Wheres my coat?!
Bloody typical — afraid of hard work, these Isle of Wight types! 😉
lol
Naturally, you’re brilliant and original, but it’s that dry wit that makes me drop by semi-regularly. Please keep it up.
LOL… naturally 😉
I sometimes wonder, to be honest, just how successfully my sense of humour translates… better than I would have hoped, it seems. Thanks, Evanne, the feedback always helps — I’ll certainly try to keep it up… in the nicest possible way, of course 😉
