Compared with last May, we are down in Uniques and Visits and up in every other category.  That means fewer visitors are doing more.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our <\/font>ClustrMap<\/a><\/font> for 2018 YTD.  This is five months\u2019 traffic.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"ClustrMap05-2018\"<\/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

Monthly Report for April 2018<\/a><\/font> 5\/2\/2018 748
<\/font>Memorial Day<\/a><\/font> 5\/28\/2018 719
<\/font>This Week\u2019s Most Outrageous Republican Moments<\/a><\/font> 5\/26\/2018 718
<\/font>Bernie on the Iran Nuclear Deal<\/a><\/font> 5\/15\/2018 692
<\/font>PhD in Bullshitology<\/a><\/font> 5\/25\/2018<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who opened the page for that specific article.  All were from May.   I wrote all 5.  I am somewhat surprised that our lead article was a Monthly Report.  I would have been happier to see more of our other authors’ work represented here.  Lona has been preparing for the great  migration, and the Squatch has been hiding from green tornados, but Nameless, and especially JD published some truly superior articles.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

Care2<\/a><\/font>  3,857
<\/font>Google<\/a><\/font> 3,329
<\/font>Stumbleupon<\/a><\/font> 545
<\/font>Baidu<\/a><\/font> 141
<\/font>Reddit<\/a><\/font> 125<\/font><\/p>\n

Google was down, and Care2 was up.  Stumbleupon and Baidu were virtually unchanged.  Reddit made the list, and Facebook did not.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

We had 7 sites with 2 or more referrals, down 4 from April.  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 still need to improve this.  I still think I need to start visiting our blog roll, which is terribly out of date.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of midnight June 1, we had 8,238 articles and 98,769 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Kudos to Richard, who earned a Big Mouth Award in May for making the 98,000 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 2017 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

We now have five months, before we will have a major opportunity to reclaim part of our nation from the monster that possesses all three branches of government.  If you haven\u2019t started working toward that end, you are way past due.<\/font><\/p>\n

Thank you for your support here, and kudos for all the good you do, everywhere you do it.<\/font><\/p>\n

RESIST!!<\/font><\/h1>\n

VOTE BLUE!<\/font><\/h1>\n
