We knew that Wakes Week was going to be a busy time for PARWICH.ORG, but we didn’t quite expect such record-breaking traffic. Yesterday, there were a whopping 1790 page views on this site: a new record. And at some point during the course of today, we will reach 200,000 page views since the site began. Keep an eye on the “BLOG STATS” section on the right hand column, and maybe you’ll be our 200,000th viewer?
Update: We passed the 200,000 mark somewhere around 15:10 this afternoon.
As many of you will already have noticed, there’s also a feature on this blog on page 8 of the new (July 2009) edition of the PDNPA’s Park Life magazine, which the is distributed free of charge to every household in the Peak District National Park.

If you’ve reached us as a result of the article, then welcome – and we hope that having taken a look at what we do, you might feel inspired to launch a similar venture in your own community.
For more information on how to set up a village blog, then the PDNPA have provided a useful set of instructions and guidelines, which can be accessed via this link.
And finally… PARWICH.ORG’s spies in London tell us that we were mentioned at yesterday’s “Activate 09” conference, in front of a whole host of “new media” luminaries, as a shining example of how small communities can make successful use of blogging tools. Click here for the visual evidence. OK, that’s quite enough trumpet-blowing!
