Two-and-a-Half Year Blog Report

     Since I began tracking pageviews of my blog with Statcounter in April of 2009, it has been visited over 3,600 times.  Thank you for visiting!

     As always, I do not count my own visits, and a visit is strictly defined as at least one pageview an hour apart from the previous one.  If I counted all pageviews, there would be considerably more hits to report. 

     Blogger has recorded far more pageviews than Statcounter, especially from outside the United States, but the latter's tracking is more specific, which allows for better statistical analysis.  Since my last report, a few interesting observations can be made. 

     Although the Rise and Fall of Islamic Civilization continues to be the most popular post (with over 720 visits), Commentary on the Roman Influence on America Exhibit at the National Constitution Center has been visited nearly 200 times in just a little over a year – good for third place behind The Economy, Deficit and Debt at the Inauguration of George W. Bush, with nearly 270.  After a slow start, the post has been visited the most this calendar year.

     Statcounter has tracked visits from 96 foreign states.  Brunei, Mali, Namibia, and Mongolia were the most interesting sources of visitors since the last report.  Among other noteworthy hits, there were visits from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Leauge of Cities and the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

     Again, thank you for your patronage of my blog and for your comments.  Please visit regularly.
