Spikey Stats Izz Growin’…!
11Saturday 26 October, 2013 by Uncle Spike
Well, what a daft old two weeks that was! For while your Uncle Spike has been toddling around the farm attending to some autumnal chores, and proof-reading lots of grown-up academic stuff, the blog went bonkers – thanks to you guys!
Mightily impressed was I just now to see the stats hit what I would term as a rather scrumptious milestone in my book. Now that’s not to say ‘hit’ as in break yer knuckles, or a ‘fender-bender’ moment perhaps, but shall we say a milestone was ‘significantly bumped into’ – there, less dramatic all round, eh?
So what am I harping on about, simple.. the page views or ‘hits’ have put on a bit of spurt to say the least, with the latest tally along the lines of that rather fine fettled figure… 15,000 (up a whopping 50% in 2 weeks).
Maybe we should start a campaign to ask that WordPress change ‘hits’ to smackers’ on the stats page. A fellow blogger suggested that term to me less than an hour ago as an alternative to ‘hits’ – Uncle Spike agrees 🙂 By the way, her blog might be quite new, but In touch with Emma is one I’d recommend.
Plus out there in bloggy-land, there now appears to be 390 folk who ‘follow’ Clan Spike (that’s up 30% in 2 weeks). But if one were to ask where they are following me to, I haven’t the foggiest 🙂
Describing this momentous double occasion as “Cool” doesn’t quite do it justice. I guess I need to confer with Cousin Spike Jnr for a more street-cred variant!
“Ta very very muchly”

Congratulations! 😀

Thaannkyyoouu…. I intend to, as long as folk out there click buttons to show they want it, I’ll do it. Actually, I would probably carry on anyhow – I’m famous for talking to myself and/or at brick walls 😀

You act as though you had nothing to do with this, that it has happened by magic! Anyway, Congratulations!

Ah yes, but it’s followers like your good self (my top commenter by the way) who create those stats – I just feed the machine 🙂
It’s funny though, seeing how some posts you work days on get an ‘ok’ response, and others, those ‘throw away quickies’ are loved by all 😀
