I don't do much with my stat porn because, quite frankly, I don't think anyone cares.
I don't myself, but I have been very surprised at your interest in my shenanigans.
Look what you did:
(Click to enlarge).
We at Ranty Barracks (OK, OK, it's just me really), salute you.
Thank you for showing up, reading, commenting, supporting, and inspiring me to keep at it.
One year on and I am almost standing up straight. I am off my knees, at least.
Soon I'll be walking, and then?
Stick with me and find out. I may need master bakers and a goodly supply of files inserted into a fine selection of cakes.......
We'll have some fun on the way, and hopefully learn a new skill or two.
CR.
That's not bad going. Happy Blogday.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive indeed, CR. Always knew you 'coulda been a contender'. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
ReplyDeleteUp and to the right. That's what you accountants like, right? The trick is to maintain, I spose.
CR.
Thanks Dick.
ReplyDeleteWe both know you were instrumental in the launch of this blog. I am especially grateful for your help.
CR.
You do alright for a communist ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm slightly jealous. My best monthly performance was back in January. I accrued 3,800. No fair :-)
Congrats on your full year in the blogosphere. It's not easy researching, simplifying and making sure you've not missed bits in your articles when you're out there earning a crust for yourself 16 hours a day (former freelance web developer speaking here!).
Keep going Ranty. You have much thought to provoke. And indeed you have already...
Congrats, Captain! Impressive and well-deserved. I don't normally bake but would whisk and blend in a heartbeat should you ever need it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Cap'n. And 'gratz on your stats...
ReplyDeleteThank you CS.
ReplyDeleteYour words mean a lot. I lerv hanging around at your place. Often when I read other blogs it kicks off a train of thought that develops into a new rant or, God forbid, a considered post.
CR.
Now then Grumps, you deserve a full and formal Thank You. Your "inside info" a couple of months ago did wonders for my visitor numbers.
ReplyDeleteCR.
Good to see you here Scorpy, my love.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you know who I am, (You might be surprised!) but we have met, and the pleasure was all mine.
I think I will email you and ask for a cake anyway!
CR.
Out of curiousity, what kind of software/website do you use to keep an eye on your blog statistics?
ReplyDeleteThank YOU Mr Furious.
ReplyDeleteI get a great deal of relief from your blog. I have lost count of the times I wanted to rant, visited your place, only to find that you had already said everything I wanted say, and more besides.
CR.
TGR,
ReplyDeleteIt is called Sitemeter. It's free.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom left of the blog and click on it.
Use the various options on the left to see what I see.
CR.
Happy blog day! It's nearly a year since I started up too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rab!
ReplyDeleteI thought you started way before me. I am a regular visitor to your hoose too. I have immensely enjoyed your Purcell investigations.
CR.
Have known you for near on 3 years now CR under another guise but we've never met, sometime maybe eh. Happy blog B/Day, you have some well deserved stats there.
ReplyDeleteHappy First, Captain R.
ReplyDeleteHey, Captain, credit where it's due.
ReplyDeleteYou make a difference. That's why your ratings are up.
And may you continue to do so.
Thanks AE!
ReplyDeleteThank you also Mrs F!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind.
CR.
If it wasn't for blogs like yours (and others in your side bar) I wouldn't get to know half the stuff that really goes on and is never reported in the news.
ReplyDeleteThe hard part Snakey, is separating the shite from the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI find nuggets almost constantly but I reject most because they have the whiff of tin-foil about them.
I have made the odd mistake, but luckily, readers of this blog are not shy about telling me so. (For which I am grateful).
CR.
Got to your 5-month position in 3 months.
ReplyDeleteMainly thanks to you :-)
I do find that lobbing a link at OH's or the Raccoon's helps though, but then again I don't really give a toss either.
It will probably tail off when people realise that it's all bollocks though. Or after the election.
Well done, Ranty.
Good drills mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marv!
ReplyDeleteThanks CSR, I was just over at your gaff howling at that rocket launcher!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Drabzz!
ReplyDeleteCR
ReplyDeleteBuon Compleanno dude! Thanks for enlightening me in an otherwise politically turgid life!
CD
Muchos gracias CD!
ReplyDeleteThis is great news CR - well done, you deserve it. Many of us seem to have started about the same time (my blog's birthday was a week earlier). Long may you trailblaze.
ReplyDeleteThanks GV.
ReplyDeleteI may have missed yours when I was in a communications dead zone.
Happy Blogday to you!
CR.
Well done mate :) figures part-timers like me can only dream of ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy blogday, here's to another year!
I've left it late to say Happy Birthday CR as I thought your hangover would be cleared by now. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done and long may you continue. What's all this about help though? I'm jealous. Still struggling after 3 weeks to modernise mine a little and can't get my head round the new Blogger template. Too scared to change just in case I loose everything. Never mind, we can't all be techy!
Lol Subrosa, (if anyone can help me stop using "lol" I would be eternally greatful,) I've been looking at the new addition to Blogger templates and itching to have a spring clean over at our place but like you daren't stare change in the face in case it hurts too much. Mind you CR's patch has changed over the last year dramatically and it has not done his stats any harm.
ReplyDeleteSo many pals to thank!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wh00ps, I love your place too.
Thank you Rosie, who I have to say extra thanks to as your occasional links to me boost traffic.
And dear old TBY (John to his mates). I am a frequent visitor to the F2C blog, but a less frequent commenter. I will do more.
Thanks all!
CR.
Not frequent enough CR but your wonderful blog makes up for it, in fucking spades!
ReplyDeleteOk, it is Sunday and I've had a few so make the most of it, I don't kiss ass when sober, fortunately for you these days that is a rarity. I blame the smoking ban myself! :¬)
@TheBigYin
ReplyDeleteAbout the 'lol' problem. Try aversion therapy by repetition i.e. lollollollollollol etc etc until you fill a page or two.
The result looks scarily like a Mexican wave, but should have the desired effect.
Trust me, I'm a blogger.
