Nearly four months blogging April 30, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Blogging , trackbackAccording to Technorati, 55% of bloggers are still posting after three months, so I'm in that dedicated half. Given that this is a proportion of blogs that are tracked by technorati, the actual number is probably a lot lower - people just signing up and posting once or twice seem fairly common.
Now I'm number 181,357 out of the 23.5 million they track, and slowly creeping up in the world. The number of hits doesn't seem to be increasing much though I'm pleased it didn't drop off completely over the last month when I've not been posting much. There are about 15 people picking this up through an RSS feed, which I can see on Wordpress' new Feed Stats feature, so I'm still averaging around 55 reads a day.
Wordpress goes from strength to strength, and you'll have noticed I've switched back to the Regulus format I had back in January. Wordpress have made it possible to edit it more, and it's my favourite template. I think its nice and clear, and although the green one was attractive, some people found it hard to read.
I've also just discovered Flickr. Well, I knew it existed, of course, but I hadn't realised how friendly it is to blogging until Wordpress started refusing to upload my pictures. I think I must have hit a limit with them, and Flickr allows 20Mb per month, which is more than enough for me. That's only 6 or 7 pictures at full resolution on my 5 MP camera, but dozens at any sensible screen resolution.
Most of my hits still come from search engines, though I know that whenever I comment on a popular blog, I'll get a few more. The story in TimesOnline which referenced my post about the Somers Town Coffee House, and my subsequent comment on that, brought in a lot of people. Good old british jet.com is still a popular one though.
And I've had 3454 hits since time began.
