The comparison with last January reveals that, unlike last month, we are up across the board.  However, last year was pathetic.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our <\/font>ClustrMap<\/a><\/font> for 2018 YTD.  If it seems sparse, remember that this is only one month’s traffic.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"ClustrMap01-2018\"<\/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

Poll Results \u2013 1\/2\/2018<\/a><\/font> 1\/2\/2018 3,082
<\/font>Bill Maher from 1\/19<\/a><\/font> 1\/20\/2018 613
<\/font>Personal Update \u2013 1\/1\/2018<\/a><\/font> 1\/1\/2018 403
<\/font>Filibuster Reform on Day One!<\/a><\/font> 11\/27\/2012 380
<\/font>Open Thread \u2013 1\/3\/2017<\/a><\/font> 1\/3\/2017 363<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who followed an external link to that specific article.  Three were from January.   I wrote than all.  I am surprised with which articles made it.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

Google<\/a><\/font> 2,032
<\/font>Care2<\/a><\/font>  1,880
<\/font>Stumbleupon<\/a><\/font> 417<\/font><\/p>\n

Google is slight down from December.   Care2 and Stumbleupon are down.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

We had 3 sites  with 2 or more referrals, down 3 from January.  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.  Perhaps I need to start visiting our blog roll, which is terribly out of date.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of midnight February 1, we had 7,962 articles and 95,644 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Nobody earned a Big Mouth Award in January.<\/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.  It’s a busy political time, and we’re not getting the traffic that should engender.  Please spread PP links around, when you get the opportunity.<\/font><\/p>\n
