157,645 visitor sessions last month, an all-time record. (Bill, Benj, Jessica, and Jason: this means you're stuck here for good!) And 58% of visits were from folks (i.e., computers) who had been here before. The top 20 ways of accessing the site--accounting for some 90% of all visits--were not much changed from prior months:

A substantial majority of the google searches are by folks actually looking for this blog (or at least for me).
Excluding faculty move updates and the like, and counting only substantive political and philosophical posts, I posted 21 items in March; Bill Edmundson posted 22; Benj Hellie posted 24; Jessica Wilson posted 12; and Jason Stanley (who was travelling much of the last couple of weeks) posted 3. Feedback from readers on the group blog format continues to be positive. Both Benj and Jessica are also beginning to rival my special talent for attracting the ire of "wingnuts" (as I've learned right-wing neanderthals are dubbed by blogospheric insiders). Bill's carefully crafted postings, while boasting political content as hard-hitting to those living in wingnut land, apparently uses too many big words and complicated sentences to enable the cognitively and morally deficient to figure out that they are supposed to be upset.
Thanks, as always, for reading.
