Another month ends. The attached graphic shows visits (yellow) plus page views (yellow plus red) to this blog over the twelve months to end October. There was another small increase in traffic.
The top ten page views in September were:
- Sunday Essay - the importance of quiet time in a crowded world 312 page views
