Top 6 April, 2012

On International Labor Day some stats again based on our FeedBurner stats of the last 30 days. Top 6 this time because there are 3 ex aequo on the 4th 5th and 6th place to report.

Total Number of visits increased a bit when compared with the Half March-Half April stats (shown between parenthesis): 43,182 (42,040) visits with a tiny bit more 103,572 (103,469) pageviews.

Less posts, as we are facing some issues with the server. I’m trying to sort that out behind the scenes. However the main reason is I personally was very busy with many guests in my small hotel Haagsche Suites.

Some outages this month and some recurring errors. I’ve noticed Cloudflare does work sometimes when the server is down. However it does not work consistently….Do I have to change policy again?

Hope to see you all back in May!

Top Posts Chair Blog Half March – Half April, 2012

Time for some stats again. As usual based on our FeedBurner stats of the last 30 days, so it also covers half of March, 2012.

Total Number of visits declined in this period. 42,040 visits with 103,469 page views vs 52,507 visits and 133,971 page views for the corresponding Half February Half March period.

  • We were missing some catches like in February where some huge blogs linked back to us.
  • Also I’m not sure I’ve the most optimal settings for our server and for Cloudflare.
  • Thirdly I believe the new timeline of FB doesn’t do us much good as it is very unsure whether a photo thumb is or is not posted on our FB page…I’ve complained about it, but as usual FB is so busy with itself that it doesn’t answer back soon.

Hope to see you soon again!

Top Posts Chair Blog Half February – Half March, 2012

As usual this post is based on our FeedBurner stats of the last 30 days, so it also covers half of February, 2012.

I believe it is Julia’s first on number 1. Congrats!

Looking at it again I believe I’ll have to put the Joe Colombo photo a bit more strait than it shows here on the blog. {update March 19, 2012: Done]

Some changes behind the screens:

  • Again the hosting goes well with only little outages. We’ve fine tuned the backup procedure twofold: a) The hosting environment is protected by daily backups and b) we’ve added Vaultpress, a backup service by Automattic, related to the good guys of WordPress that registers any change here at the blog almost by the minute.
  • As of March 5 the blog is served via Cloudflare, protecting it better agains attacks and hopefully giving our readers a better experience with faster loading pages and posts. Please give us feedback about our load times. Is it better or worse in your part of the world?
  • Several posts had been posted with a service Clipmarks that all of a sudden has disappeared from the internet. (Again) I had to re edit many posts manually. Hence you’ve seen less posts than you were maybe used to.
  • I’ve adapted our FaceBook page to the new page lay out of FB. Unfortunately the little thumbs are not being served anymore on FB. I’m still fiddling around in the hope that goes better in the near future….
  • On top of each page I’ve put back the slider rather than the more conventional page navigation thingy. I missed the slider and I hope you too.
  • Oh, yes! I’ve said Good Bye to the Woopra counters. They were becoming too expensive anyway. Moreover Google Analytics now offers the same or similar functionality. Last 30 days 52,507 Visits and 133,971 Pageviews.

Hope to see you back soon!
