Flags of all nations, #47Dave's comment yesterday mentioned the international character of this blog's visitors. I use Google Analytics to track the statistics of my vistors, though I have so little faith in what it tells me that I don't look at its analysis too often. However, for what it's worth, here are my February 2010 blog visits so far (one day to go!), counted by country:
United Kingdom 780
United States 240
Sweden 92
Canada 69
Germany 63
Austria 50
Australia 48
Italy 20
France 18
Ireland 13
Mexico 13
Russia 7
Spain 4
India 4
Singapore 4
Brazil 4
Israel 4
Romania 3
Poland 3
Philippines 3
Japan 2
Lithuania 2
Lebanon 2
Belgium 2
Malaysia 2
Norway 1
Colombia 1
Denmark 1
Hungary 1
Greece 1
Hong Kong 1
Oman 1
Bulgaria 1
Iran 1
Netherlands 1
Egypt 1
Taiwan 1
Nigeria 1
Finland 1
Sri Lanka 1
Slovakia 1
South Korea 1
Portugal 1
By the standards of, say, The Online Photographer (which gets THIRTY THOUSAND visits a DAY) this is a modest haul, but I do like its geographic spread. Obviously, you can ignore most of the "oncers" -- they came looking for something else, but were disappointed. And this is a count of visits, not visitors, so many of these countries will be represented by just one or two people. But, even so, I like the picture I see.
You're all very welcome, and if I haven't got around to mentioning or inadvertently insulting your own country, language or culture yet, please be patient. It's quite a long list.

Ha! Thanks for the thought. I'm pleased to see you also have homes in Lund, Lomma, Bolsta, Stockholm, Malmo, Hjarup, Umea and Solma ... Academic pay is obviously a lot better in Sweden (or is this a case for Mikael Blomkvist?).

It is my site that has a link to your post about caning at junior school. My site has absolutely nothing to do with "porn", and is all about the serious factual history of corporal punishment, so I don't know why you should be surprised or upset that you get referrals from my site.
In that case, accept my apologies, c. farrell! I have clearly misjudged you, your site, and the interests of its visitors.
I confess I never did take the trouble to visit, and simply (and probably cynically) put 2 and 2 together to make 5.
