I know that people read this site, because the stats tell me so. I checked on Webalizer last week and I have an average of more than 300 unique visitors every day.
That includes spam referrals unfortunately, as well as legitimate visitors to this blog, the picture galleries and family history section.
I suspect that most casual visitors come here via Google, after a search for “Pillars of the Earth” or something similar directs them.
So it’s good to know there are some regular visitors. I had a nice message from Andrew of Morwell overnight, who says he reads the site regularly, and he just became my first non-family subscriber!
Andrew used to have his own blog, which he tends to underrate. I can honestly say it’s the most interesting web site I’ve ever seen that’s mostly about fish!
Update: Sorry to say that I can no longer find Andrew’s blog.

Thanks for the nice review. That’s quite a compliment, indeed, since I consider your blog/site to be among the best I’ve seen anywhere on the web. I’m interested in switching from Blogger to WordPress in order to improve my effort … the next few weeks will tell. In the meantime, please continue the great work!
Hi Andrew, thanks again. Word Press has some nifty plugins and heaps of templates to choose from. I’ve modified one called Plain Vanilla. If you want to switch I can help you with hosting, and you’ll get Fantastico, which has an automatic install for Word Press!
what plugin do you use to put a code for posting ? as i have to force everyone to login to comment to prevent spam
the recent comment plugin is also great
