Site Views for 2010

2 Jan

The Nationals were of course done in August. A couple of times since I have said that this site is done. I’ve kept it up though so that folks can see the results and, of course, because we had a major change to the results.

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

The site was started in February and still gets a surprising number of visitors on most days, with half a dozen or more usually having a look to see what was or what might have been. The bulk of our activity, though, was in August when we were really cooking. More than 7,000 visitors had a look that month, including nearly 2,000 on August 21 when the event had its spectactular wrap-up. We’ve started up a new site for this year’s North Americans and look forward to seeing many new visitors for another terrific event at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron.

The text following comes from WordPress, where the staff is a bit younger than me. Their talk is a bit funkier but I am a wannabe hipster trying to keep up.
