A few anomalies to point out I couldn’t find villagevoices our Ken’s blog in the list but there was a blank listing for 64 and I am assuming that it’s him. The other one birchington.blogspot our Simon who for some reason or other doesn’t play the reciprocal latest posts on other blogs game that the rest of us do.

This business with feeds and self-updating illustrated links is something that I have been trying to get over to local government and the local press, it is a relatively new thing, perhaps a little difficult to understand but not that difficult to add to a website.

I should also point out to anyone in business who is feeling the pinch at the moment that a fair amount of new customers come to my bookshop because they have read this blog. It is quite a strange experience meeting people for the first time who already feel they know you quite well, a certain notoriety perhaps.

I should like to thank the 2,337 Absolute Unique Visitors that came her in the last month for putting up with my ramblings.

    Hmmmm.
    Not sure I like all this "we know where you come from" hoo-ha.

    I mean, if I want to go looking at Mongolian goat herder websites or "how to speak Russian" pages then come right back here - what blinkin' business is it of anyone elses, eh?!

  2. Super_Toupee it’s the internet you can’t get away from the fact that everything you do on it is traceable back to you something I am always keen to point out to people.

    Every website you visit records you ip address I was able to make my www.michaelsbookshop.com open without a password so that anyone can look at this which is an aspect of the internet that people won don’t run websites don’t often see.

    Click on the link and have a gander http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/stats/ it also shows you that the term hits which is often bandied about by people trying to show how busy their website is doesn’t mean anything, yesterday 2188 hits but only 204 visits to the site by 164 different people.

    On the whole web authors are quite secretive about this sort of thing, the best I can do with this blog for those interested is to put a counter on it.

    Another thing you may wish to ponder is http://thanetblogs.blogspot.com/ which picks up information from other sites so you can read it without visiting them

  3. Sorry about paragraph 2 of my last comment should have read something like, I was able to make my michaelsbookshop.com ones open without a password so people who don’t run websites can look at this side of the internet, my excuse is the help I was getting from one of my seven year olds who was using the pc next to me.

  4. Michael if you want to know how to do anything ask one of your kids. Thanks for compiling the figures for us to see whats going on I was surprised with one mention of the church website on twitter people took a look.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
