In January, Politics Plus remained dead slow, because for most of the month, I was ill or doing volunteer work.  Nevertheless, we had an increase from December in every category, except Page Views.  There were so many days that I posted only an Open Thread that readers had little need to change pages to comment on multiple articles.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our latest summary:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"usage1-2014\"<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Stats1-2014\"<\/font><\/p>\n

In the monthly totals, a Site is any website from which someone accessed our server, a Hit is every access attempt to our server, and a File is every access attempt to our server that returned data.  The difference between Hits and Files is from access attempts that were sent in error or damaged in transit and failed attempts by hackers, spammers, phishers, and Republicans to access the back end and take control of the site.  Any questions?<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our latest Clustrmap:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Map12-15-2013\"<\/p>\n

Our map was archived in February, so what you see is from March 1 to December 15, when it was last updated.  This may be the last map before it resets again<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are are top five articles:<\/font><\/p>\n

People came from an external site with the specific purpose of reading these articles more than any others.  It’s unfortunate that only two of the five are from last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

Every time we link to their sites, it increases their ratings, so here’s some linkey-love in return.  The best ways you can spread the message to others is to use the share button at the bottom of each article to list our articles on the the networking sites where you belong. Quote PP articles on your own blogs also helps.  The operative commandment here is “thou shalt steal<\/strong>.”  We’re on the same side here, and I encourage it.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that’s OK.  Just link back, please.  Also, feel free to swipe my graphics in the articles.  If they are labeled with our Politics Plus URL, they are my work.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are the top fifteen commenters for December.  I remembered and copied them off in time.  I don’t count, as I’m the resident big mouth, and I try to reply to almost every comment, except replies directed at someone else.  Those who leave their URLs in their comments, also get linkey-love here.<\/font><\/p>\n
