The comparison with last December reveals, like last month, that we have fewer visitors, but the ones we have are visiting reading more articles.  That\u2019s a good thing, I think.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

\"ClustrMap12-2017\"<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can\u2019t be easily traced to a location.  January’s YTD map will look quite sparse.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

National Popular Vote for the Reich<\/a><\/font> 9\/29\/2017 2,817
<\/font>Jane Smiley: Capitalist Pigs<\/a><\/font> 1\/17\/2010 694
<\/font>Pervert Endorses Pervert<\/a><\/font> 12\/4\/2017 585
<\/font>Open Thread \u2013 12\/26\/2017<\/a><\/font> 12\/26\/2017 436
<\/font>Everyday Erinyes #104<\/a><\/font> 12\/8\/2017  (by JD)<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who followed an external link to that specific article.  Two were from December.  Four were from last year. I wrote four.  JD wrote one.  Kudos to JD!<\/font><\/p>\n

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

Google<\/a><\/font> 2,118
<\/font>Care2<\/a><\/font>  2,083
<\/font>Stumbleupon<\/a><\/font> 299<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Google is down from November.   Care2 is up.  Stumbleupon is up. <\/font><\/p>\n

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

<\/font><\/p>\n

We had 6 sites  with 2 or more referrals, down 1 from November.  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 January 1, we had 7,897 articles and 95,009 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Congrats to Jerry Critter<\/a> for posting the 95,000th 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 last 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

Thank you for all you do, everywhere you do it.<\/font><\/p>\n

2018 has arrived.  On to November!<\/font><\/p>\n
