Traffic report

June 30, the last day of the first half of the year. So I'm checking how the traffic on this blog developed over the past months, and the growth is astounding. I had more hits in this half year than in all the time from 2003 to 2005.
Instead of 2,500 average visitors per month in the last half of the previous year I had an average of about 5 times that per month in the first half of this year, with the month of June seeing 20,000 visitors.

Despite these large numbers, the readers I value most are the small handful of faithful who read my blog regularly, and who are leaving feedback in the comments.
