Spike!
So today I got a report from Justin who (among many other responsibilities) oversees the box that hosts my little blog. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that right now I don't really have a way of tracking the traffic I generate much beyond following its ranking on the Radio Community Server.
What blew me away was the size of the traffic spike that my "25 pathetic attempts" post generated. I went to #3 on the RCS server that day with something like 3300 hits reported. The data I got today indicates that the number of (raw) hits was closer to 40,000 (!). Check it out: 
Wow! I had no idea that post generated so much traffic. Alas it looks like most people read the controversy and just moved on - I've settled back down in the rankings. The fact that I remain in the top 100 is to me an indictment of Radio and blogging in general - I write stuff about an obscure corner of an obscure technology that very few people in the world care about. If the population at large cared at all about blogging I would be like #1,248,764. Oh well. The #1 Radio blog is consistently safersex.org so I guess order is still being maintained somewhere in the universe...
