Sometime overnight this blog, which now averages over 35,000 hits per
month, went over one million visitors. That's way more that I ever
anticipated when I started out doing it just for my own amusement.
A while back some sophisticated Reddit readers criticized this blog because it has a 1990s Geocities look, but I can't help that; Blogger is easy to use, it's free and it does what I want it to do, so why change?
What I find surprising is where the visitors are coming from. There
are twice as many visitors from Brazil as from the United States
which gets twice as many visitors as third ranking Spain.
As for which posts are the most popular, there doesn't seem to be any
one category that stands out. For a long time the two most popular
posts weren't about chess at all; they were about my bad experiences
with TV dinners. And, for months the number one visited post was
about a chess website that had been defunct for over a year. Posts on
engines are popular, but that horse has pretty much been beaten to
death unless there is some drastic development.
