Traffic report - the blog stats for May

Last month, there were 55 posts and just over 14,000 words on Froogville.

On the Barstool, there were 41 posts and nearly 12,500 words.


Amazing that I managed to keep up such a prolific output in a month when I had so much else on! I really must try harder to slow down.....

A particularly busy month on the Barstool; curious that in terms of sheer verbiage, it was running its big brother Froogville very, very close this time. There were in fact one or two spells of a few days where I didn't manage to post at all, and I only kept up my recent monthly average on my 'main' blog through the ongoing silliness of the 'Daily Llama' series (which is a pretty easy thing to post, after all).

We also celebrated, of course, Froogville's 1,000th (and 1,001st, and....) post, while the Barstool cruised past the 666 mark and notched up it's 10,000th visitor (at least, according to Sitemeter).

Other notable news was that the great Possible Band Names competition finally limped past its 100th comment (I fear I may have to close it down soon, since it appears that only the indefatigable Gary is still playing....).

And my geographical breakdown from Statcounter informs me that I've been visited recently by readers in Tokyo, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and...... Tehran! Who are all these people????

Really?? I have my doubts.

Some Chinese news site had an article writen by Jeremiah Jenne so I first went to his blog and found yours from there... I think the content of your blog is very interesting and you do a really great job updating it!

Ah yes, the formidable Jeremiah! Originally he was just a 'blog-friend' of mine, but now a near-ish neighbour in Beijing and occasional bar/gig companion.

I'm glad you like my regularity, Firefly - although actually I've been suffering with depression recently, and have thus had rather a slow week.

What is your interest in China? Do you read a lot of the 'China blogs'?

(I try not to be a 'China blog' myself, although inevitably many of my observations are on China.)
