March 31st means it is blog’iversary time again. I find it hard to believe nine years have flown by since that first tentative post. To everyone, everywhere, thanks for visiting, reading and subscribing!
Statistics:
Last year broke the million visit mark and in spite of reduced posting from me this year, this is a hobby!, visits held up.
Visits & Subscribers:
The weekly “blog beat” is fairly constant apart from a blip caused by over 300 visits to one post, of only two I made, in April.
In spite of RSS and feed technology not being talked about much and, soon, Google actively discouraging readers subscriptions are still steadily growing.
Location:
As usual the US dominates but nice to see Australasia third behind Northern Europe in the regional list.
Browser & Operating System:
It’s interesting to watch this over the years even if it doesn’t really mean much. Compared to 2012 IE lost 4% and Firefox was also down 5%. iOS Safari also rose to 2.2% from 0.68% last year.
The winner was Chrome up 6% and, for the first time on my blog, overtaking IE.
Windows 8 arrived in my platform/browser stats and, perhaps more surprising, someone out there is still using Windows 98!
Thanks for reading, see you in year ten!
