In July, Politics Plus slightly down in every category, except Pages.  It\u2019s mostly the time of year, and I’m surprised the summer doldrums missed us last month.  Here is our latest summary:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"usage7-2014\"<\/font><\/p>\n

\"Stats7-2014\"<\/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

\"ClustrMap7-2014\"<\/p>\n

ClusterMaps misses a lot of, because many visits can\u2019t be easily traced to a location.  It shows only the visits from March 2 to July 28, when it was last updated.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

Jane Smiley: Capitalist Pigs<\/a><\/font> 1\/17\/2010 1,637
<\/font>A Republican Freedom<\/a><\/font> 9\/24\/2013 856

Normally I include 15 here, but these are the only ones with two or more referrals.  Putting their links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this \u201clinkey love\u201d is our thank you for their support.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top commentators.  As the resident Big Mouth, I don\u2019t count.  Those who leave their URLs in their comment headers, also get \u201clinkey-love\u201d here.<\/font><\/p>\n

Our Technorati rating no longer exists, because Technorati no longer exists as a blog rating entity.    They have left a vacuum in blog authority rating.  If you learn of someone filling that need before I do, please let me know.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of Midnight, August 1, we have 5,011 articles and 55,076 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to <\/font>Gravatar<\/a><\/font>.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use as your avatar.  Whenever you comment under that email address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that image will become your avatar.<\/font><\/p>\n

The 2014 elections are only three months away.  Republicans are returning home to their districts to lie to their constituents about all the wonderful things they have been doing in Congress.  If one is holding a town hall near your home, please consider attending and calling them out on their lies.  Please get out the vote!<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m considering a new series to highlight and publicize your political activities.  It\u2019s not quite all the way gelled, but stay tuned. <\/font><\/p>\n

You make this site successful.  Thank you for everything that you do.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
