What follows perhaps interests me alone, I have been looking at how people have navigated here, I am getting people randomly appearing here from various places, and for various reasons. 50 of the last 500 page hits on this blog has been from people navigating here from google, actually 37 individual visitors (ish).
Most of them have been looking for something vaguely catholic, mainly via the author Duffy, since I posted it yesterday 2 people also sought out Karen Armstrong, one of them very kindly commented and pointed me towards a very interesting article. It says something about my interests that a non catholic is being mainly "sought out" (although that is too strong) for his catholic interests.
A remarkable number of people are interested in Stuart Lee, whose Podcast I reviewed here. Although I am not convinced that my treatment fo him really deserves so much attention.
Only 2 searches were even vaguely geeky, probably reflected the masses of material on such subjects all of which is more interesting than my comments.
Some people are seeking my blog out directly, or else googling latin nonsense for fun. 4 searches were actually aimed at Helen's excellent blog.
Most of the navigations are not searches, most of them are actually from the Ship of Fools, so hello shipmates! A link appears at the bottom of my posts, and enough people appear to be clicking them. Which is nice to know. My next biggest referrer is myself, or at least, my old blog, which appears to be getting enough people visiting despite looong periods of inactivity. I am also linked to from The Manchizzle, where I am classed as "Student and Academic". Experiments in Reading, links to me as does my lovely Natasha.
I apologise for that geeky diversion. Normal service will resume, very soon.
