Port 16’s Blog Report for November 2007

December 2, 2007

Well, November was a whole lot better than October was. I ended up being sick for just about the whole month of October, so I didn’t bother with writing a summary for that month.

This month, however, has been pretty good. I did my “Command of the Grill Week“, which didn’t go all that smoothly, but tasted delicious.

I have to thank the mumbler and Kellypea for helping me out. Art gave me a nice plug, and Kellypea was adventurous enough to try Disco’s Hot and Tangy New York Strips.

Now, on with the stats …

Visitors: 15,369! No, that’s not a typo. In September I had 405 visitors, and I’ll admit that this is all thanks to one article getting stumbled.

PageViews: 30,903. Up from 1,567 in September.

New Visits: 92.4%. This was 57.88% in September.

Bounce Rate: 34.18%. This was 53.46% in September. Even though it went down, I’m still pretty happy. I was able to double my subscribers, which was amazing, and really I’m just glad that those visitors thought it would be worth checking back, just from that one article.

Top 5 posts:

1. Find out What is Using up Your Hard Drive Space With WinDirStat - This one blew everything else out of the water. 27,829 pageviews. Thanks so much for stumbling me Pearl!

2. Steak Satays - Delicious meat! These came out so good, I was really impressed. You just have to taste them to believe it.

3. Combat Steak - A bone in ribeye, with a mushroom and red wine sauce. So tasty!

4. What is ESATA? - An explanation of the external Serial ATA specification. I know what I’m using the next time I buy an external hard drive.

5. Test Drive Ubuntu Linux Without Installing Anything on Your Computer - This was a article about a great way to try out Linux by booting with a CD. When you’re done, you can pop it out, reboot, and it’s like nothing happened.

So, I hope to put out some great posts this month, even with Christmas, New Years, and all that nifty stuff coming up.

Once again, a big thank you goes out to all of my loyal readers, you’re what keeps me blogging. Also, welcome to all of my new readers, I hope you like what you see, and keep coming back for more.
