Compared to September, October results were up across the board.  Hopefully, we shall keep improving, since the things that have interfered with my writing are being resolved.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our <\/font>ClustrMap<\/a><\/font> for 2017 Year to Date.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"ClustrMap10-2017\"<\/p>\n

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can\u2019t be easily traced to a location.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

National Popular Vote for the Reich<\/a><\/font> 9\/29\/2017 – 2,434
<\/font>Jane Smiley: Capitalist Pigs<\/a><\/font> 1\/17\/2010 – 556
<\/font>Another Heck of a Job<\/a><\/font> 10\/18\/2017 – 509
<\/font>Manafart\u2019s Millions<\/a><\/font> 10\/14\/2017 – 463
<\/font>Open Thread \u2013 10\/12\/2017<\/a><\/font> 10\/12\/2017 – 314<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who followed an external link to that specific article.  Three were from September.  Four were from this year.  All were from me.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top non-blog\/news referrers (100 referral minimum):<\/font><\/p>\n

Google<\/a><\/font> 2,693
<\/font>Care2<\/a><\/font>  1,920
<\/font>Baidu<\/a><\/font> 302
<\/font>Stumbleupon<\/a><\/font> 250
<\/font>Facebook<\/a><\/font> 128<\/font><\/p>\n

Google is up from September.  Baidu is way up.  Stumbleupon is up, and Care2 is down.  Facebook made the list for the first time in years.<\/font><\/p>\n

H<\/font>ere are our top  blog\/news referrers:<\/font><\/p>\n

http:\/\/crooksandliars.com\/<\/a>
http:\/\/infidel753.blogspot.com\/<\/a>
http:\/\/bildungblog.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We had only 3 sites  with 2 or more referrals, down 4 from September.  Putting blogs\u2019 links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this \u201clinkey love\u201d is our thank you for their referral support.  We need to improve this.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of midnight November 1, we had 7,759 articles and 93,499 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Congrats to Pat B for posting the 93,000th comment.<\/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

Your Administrators are Lynn Squance, aka Sasquatch or Squatch, SoINeedAName, aka Nameless, and I, aka TomCat, the Founder.  Your Editors are Joanne Dixon, aka JD the Erynator and Lona Goudswaard, aka Lona the Napster.  I  promoted them from Author in August to give them the ability to add graphics to comments and the ability to correct my innumerable typos.<\/font><\/p>\n

This is our policy on links.  We do not embed links to extreme Republican websites, like Faux Noise, Breitfart <\/em>or World Nut Daily<\/em>.  However I leave notes in square brackets when I delete such links, (example: [faux noise delinked]<\/em>) so readers, who wish to follow them can click through to the source article.  I also remove topical links.  Finally, I blank the target on all links, so they open in a new tab or window.<\/font><\/p>\n

I hope that things continue to improve.  I shall be devoting no time to heat waves and less time medical mayhem.  I hope Care2 finally gets control of that awful Glitch Monster.<\/font><\/p>\n

Trump is fuming over an ISIS terrorist who killed eight people.  While that man should be punished, he is less worthy of punishment than Trump himself, who has caused hundreds of deaths.  During one day short of his first year, Trump has still failed to sign any major legislation.  That\u2019s still your fault.  Your efforts to educate others and expose his insane policies to the light of day have frustrated him at every turn.  Kudos to you all!  Now, we also need to take control of the Democratic Party from the corrupt DNC.  Our work has just begun.<\/font><\/p>\n
