Blog performance, reader interests July 2010

I didn't post yesterday. In the morning was the graduation for the Housing NSW/Aboriginal Housing Office mentor program. I took some photos and will write a story in due course, but coming home after the session I found myself with the shivers, so actually took to my bed. Not bad today, but still not feeling especially well, and I also have to go into the city this afternoon.

The graphic shows monthly visits to the blog (yellow) plus page views (yellow plus red)for the year ending July 10. I was conscious that the July numbers were down; so I have two months of falling stats.

Excluding visits to the front page (I do not have this number), the most visited posts over July were:

• Sunday Essay - the importance of quiet time in a crowded world  (283 page views)
• Report of the NSW Aborigines Welfare Board, year ended 30 June 1940 (170 page views)
• Belshaw's Animal Meme ( 113 page views)
