My sincere thanks to Professors Thomas Nadelhoffer of Dickinson College and Jonathan Wolff of University College London who did much to keep the blog lively and interesting during August and, in Tom's case, all summer long! Remember, too, that Nadelhoffer will continue blogging at his new site, which I heartily commend to all readers.
Because I'm teaching at the University of Chicago this term, where it appears I may not have Internet access from my temporary home, I won't resume a robust schedule of blogging, though I'll be more frequent than I was in the summer. Bill Edmundson and Jason Stanley will also continue to post as their schedules permit, and I expect Professors Hellie and Wilson back in the fray before too long.
Since Typepad, my blogging service, made it easy to add "Sitemeter" (which is free) to this page, I'm going to let my subscription to WebStat counter lapse when it expires in two weeks. Below the fold, a final report, then, from the wealth of detail supplied by WebStat:
June, July, and August saw, respectively, 104,500 visits; 103,900 visits; and 115,100 visits to the site--all 10% increases from the traffic in the summer of 2005. Repeat visitors ranged from 56-58% each month, which is a fairly typical range. Of course, some repeat visitors visit from different computers, so this may slightly understate the actual "regular" readers.
The top 20 referring sites in August weren't much changed from prior months; as in the past 65% came directly to the site:
