Just noticed that this morning’s history post was the 7,000th which makes this the 7002nd.
The first was written almost three years ago – on April 22nd – and in that time they’ve been 13, 435 comments.
The WordPress counter which takes in repeated visits not just unique ones has recorded 650,624 views.
I didn’t start using Sitemeter until July – it’s counted 440,876 unique visitors since then:
| Total | 440,876 |
There have also been 108,171 spam comments which indicates many of the visitors weren’t here to read the posts but just dropped by to leave unwanted remarks.
Sigh – I’d better not give up my day job.

Congratulations, seeing that figure would indicate that your blog is not only widely read but with that number of posts definitely a work in progress.
Thankyou for the window on things rural, political, cultural and social it is far more uplifting and informative than the dead tree press each morning.
Many thanks, smiles and kind regards.
