Just before 5:30 pm this afternoon, PARWICH.ORG received its 250,000th page view – which isn’t bad going, considering that we only launched the site 19 months ago.
Stats buffs might like to know that in that time, we’ve published 2,203 blog posts and we’ve received almost the same number of comments: 2,158 in total. (There have also been over 14,000 spam comments, which are automatically removed by our blogging software – why do these people bother?) We’ve also uploaded a frankly astonishing 4,245 images onto the site – and if you only knew what a tedious process it was to upload each image, you’d be even more astonished!
We’re currently averaging about 470 page views a day, and our busiest day was July 1st 2009, when we received a whopping 1,772 page views as a result of Wakes Week. Our most viewed page on the site, by some considerable distance, is the first Photos page, while our most viewed blog post – bizarrrely enough, but that’s Google for you! – is “Easter Cards & Scrapbooking with the WI“. And finally, our most clicked outbound link is the Paypal donation page, followed by the Ashbourne News Telegraph.
We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride so far. It can be a bumpy ride from time to time – and it has certainly been a learning process for all of us – but those of us who work on the blog team remain committed to reflecting as many aspects of village life as we are able to squeeze onto one website. Thanks for reading, and thanks to all who have contributed so far. We’ll do another trumpet-blowing, self-congratulatory post when we reach the half million!
These were just some of the comments that our guests (from all over the world) made when they came to Cassie and Dan’s wedding. They are right, it is a wonderful church and village but it takes many (unseen) hands to make a happy occasion such as this.
